Lol, well that went way over my head. I was trying to think of a player with those initials...

I bet he doesn't want to contend with TC.....and waits a while. ( IOW, he's gonna sign with someone tomorrow )

I can see this... ^^ but,

the sun will rise on a Friday where the Nfl likes to steal the weekend headlines..

The Browns will also wake-up with over 13M in cap space.. I'd still like to fill 2 bigger needs...

a) The Chargers told veteran LB/DE Kyle Van Noy to stop the run as a FA with a new team..

b) Jim Schwartz knows FA DT N. Suh or* Panthers DT FA Matt Ioannidis is age 29

I'm thinking Suh & Van Noy improves 2 bigger needs getting both under 13M.. have at it..here's a FA list

I was kinda' thinking that we're done with big player signings....but we'll see if the money is burning a hole in someone's pocket.

I've seen projections that the Browns will start over the cap, by over -61 million $ in 2024.. 31st of 32 teams

Deal Andrew Berry ?

but the salary cap stuff worries me.

i believe the money would be well spent on defensive line depth

Is that bad? ?

hmm....might need to get that superbowl victory this year then.

Unsympathetic

Each of those FA's is a different contract.

Look at the dead values for ZDS for a post-June 1 cut vs the pre-June 1 cut.

In short, if ZDS isn't resigned, he'll be listed as a post June1 cut next season.. resulting in a total of 1.8 dead in each of 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027 because why not. Big upfront value leading to scare quotes, sprinkles in reality.

Same analysis for the rest of the list, just different values for each player

Yeah ...... and dust off my old '65 Ford Mustang for the SB 58 parade.

........ oh right I sold it in 1971, got tired of waiting.

Here's a nice 55 T-Bird that was parked in our neighbors drive way a year ago!

Missing the portholes. Still pretty sweet.

Also...some remember...getting the wheel well off usually wasn't all that hard, but getting it back was a bitch.

That push out and up, then back and down on the lever in synch with the up down and in on the actual well was frustrating, especially as rust and road grim had accumulated.

Apparently "spare time" is quite the thing around here. LOL!?

Apparently this is what happens on page 3, waiting on D-Hop team news goes into week 2 ?

Did you save a pic of yours? Sounds like you had one.

LOL....lord no. I was just talking about the wheel well covers. You had to take them off to change the tire. My car in question was a 1966 Pontic wagon. An older beater with thin tires, so I had to change more than a few flats! LOL

It did run well, so there is that. Not much for style, but it did the job.

And we don't need to be giving some dude in his twilight a payday...

No, there is no reason, unless they think adding him would get a ring.

Hopkins just turned 31 two days ago, I wouldn't call that the twilight of his career, he still has a few years left. I would take him only if we didn't pay top dollar for him. He woould still be a nice veteran piece on a team that's contending and needs help at WR. Considering he wants paid, would not make him a good fit here.
