4 Former Cleveland Browns players who might be done in the NFL

I never could understand that. As a child, you pretend to be your favorite athlete on the playground, workout everyday, practice honing your skills so that one day you can live the dream. Then you end your career over pot, or D.U.S., or flashing a gun on social media. Or the number of dumbass things some of these players do. Once you make it, your life is set. I don't get it??

It makes perfect sense…Some of these guys never escape the troubled background they grow up in and the troublemaking circle that was around them is present into their 20s and 30s. In fact they are target now. Also, some of them have grown up with nothing and lived on public assistance and having money in their pocket 200K-300K for the first time presents greater trouble making opportunities. Let’s not forget It isnt hard to make dumb @ss choices in your 20s

It sure does. There was a kid in Rochester, NY that was an All State QB and All State Basketball player as a soph. for Charlotte High School that was a State Champion in Football. The school had to drop sports and music programs; and the same kid became a gang member and got arrested his junior year. When you erase hope - you invite trouble. It really is that simple unfortunately...

Josh Gordon in 2013 was the best Cleveland Browns player I have seen in my roughly 40 years of watching the team.
I've never seen a Browns player play at that level for that one year. He was a man among boys.

All he had to do was show up and do the things he is capable of doing and the Browns would have thrown a pile of money at him. So it really is like the Joker lighting that pile of money on fire.

I still have a picture of Josh drinking in an Atlanta bar... It's well obvious what he really cared about.. And it wasn't Football...

Yeesh.
Sometimes our brown and orange glasses can really taint how good someone actually is...
Kareem is probably asking way too much.
John Johnson, that one hurts. I had such high hopes for him.
Troy Hill, at least we have his awesome training camp fight.

Well if Hunt is still on the Market.. I'd still like to have him... I'll remind you of a runner that Bill Parcells had who really wasn't fast.. His name was OJ Anderson and Bill rode that dude like mule for 3 yards and a first down on the way to a couple of SB's... So... While Hunt might be aging.. I do believe there's a role for him...
EDIT: We of course aren't built like that team... On offense were going to a bit more finesse I suppose... It's just how the league is.. At least with Chubb and our D.. We still have that Blood n Guts element to our team...

Highly unlikely. From the leaks I have read in the media, consensus is that he has lost a step, or more. It seems age and injuries have caught up with him. Classic tale of the running back. If we could have had the 'tazmanian devil' from a couple of years ago back, absolutely no discussion.

Well my main point was he doesn't have to be blazing fast to be productive.. Not disagreeing with ya.. But in all likely hood.. Yeah the Browns have moved on...

Assuming we are naming the price to bring Hunt back…bringing Hunt back comes at the expense of losing Felton? I think we stockpiled some shifty explosive guys where the intrigue of keeping Felton is over. If/when a Back goes down Hunt is a better insurance policy to carry the ball than Felton is…why not bring him back?

I'm actually kind of looking forward to seeing what Ford can do as the #2.

IF we have a need due to injuries, and IF the price is right, I wouldn't be against it. But those are some big ifs at this point.
Agree with Dutch, and Ford might not see as many regular snaps as I hope he does. We are likely to pass the ball more this season, and give Chubb a higher percentage of carries, without him actually seeing more snaps. Fewer snaps for other guys, with the same risk of injury for him.
