    Yeah, that's the article I saw.   (Troth Central)

    expected to sign and the article is over a month old. he has since talked with the colts and vikings

  • I'll admit, I thought his signing with the Saints was a signed deal. 

    I saw an ESPN article saying that he was in New Orleans and his agent told him Indianapolis was offering him more and allegedly Hunt kind of up and left his meeting in New Orleans almost immediately.

    ya i was also.  I hope he finds a home somewhere. But as of now it is just more nonsense from nickers

    also they have kamara and williams at running back. why would he even want to sign there

    How's it go?  Money talks and bullshit walks?  Ahh, New Orleans is going the way of Atlantis soon anyway.

    Now don't be so hard on him over this one. We all saw that report that he signed, so it was a legitimate post by him.

    If that's the case I wish the browns would pick him up but then ... Who do I want to give up...?

  • Gotta believe Kelly goes to PS. 

  • I'm not one to be anyone's white knight, but in Nickers defense, I could have even sworn that Kareem was signed.

    when i  put up info I at least fact check ( you know look up more than one source from a website i had never heard of) and it was also on espn fox

    sports and even on local radio that he left with out signing. so sorry i was a bit hard on nickers(maybe he bumped his head,I told him about wearing his helmet) but yes mis information is the one thing that really pisses me off

  • you could fix up the media source and this still applies.

    I read the article until they made it pretty clear that there ain't no way he's coming back to the Browns.  

    The Browns felt that he lost some speed...but I watched the games last year and it was uncanny...every time he came in the game and got the ball it was like the OL forgot how to block.  There were always guys all around him with nowhere to run.  That's what I saw last year.  I'd betchya that he's better than Ford.  But Ford was brought in to replace Hunt...so that's the way it's gonna stay.

  • So, any change in thinking after the Eagles game?  Hall and Wilkins got to carry the ball a few times.  They seem to have some burst to them....

    Any real value Hall brings will be on special teams.  I don't think anybody will sign him if we put him on waivers, so we do that and bring him back to the practice squad.

  • Everybody after Chubb is replaceable and likely not highly sought after…especially looking at some of the other RB rooms (like the Eagles).

    Wilkins I don’t know how you can assess he carried the ball and limped off the field 

  • The Cleveland Browns hosted running back Kylin Hill for a workout on Wednesday as the club prepares for its final game of the preseason on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

    Originally a seventh-round selection by the Green Bay Packers in the 2021 NFL Draft, Hill only appeared in 10 games with the Packers before being released in November of last season.

    ------Obviously, the team isn't overly impressed with their options for the #3 RB.  (I consider Felton a WR / gadget RB)

    Yep.

    There are always some good backs who get cut.  Older vets who teams don't want to pay.  Young guys they hope to bring back to the PS.

    As in any season, those last 2-3-4 slots on the roster remain pretty fluid the first few weeks after cut downs.

  • D'Ernest Johnson, Jacksonville Jaguars

    Browns

    Could a reunion be in progress?

    The Jacksonville Jaguars signed former Thursday Night Football hero D’Ernest Johnson this offseason in free agency after he spent four seasons in Cleveland. However, they then drafted Tank Bigsby out of Auburn in the 2023 NFL draft, and Johnson is now listed as the fourth back on the depth chart in Jacksonville.

    If Johnson gets the ax from the Jaguars, the Browns must be all over a reunion as he would be the easy money RB3 on their roster.

  • The Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots have agreed to the following trade.

    Browns receive:  RB Pierre Strong Jr.    Patriots receive:  T Tyrone Wheatley Jr.

    Strong (5-11, 215) is in his second NFL season out of South Dakota State. Originally selected by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2022 draft, Strong appeared in 15 games as a rookie. He rushed for 100 yards on 10 carries with a touchdown and added seven receptions for 42 yards.

    Wheatley spent the 2022 season on the Browns' practice squad.

    *All NFL trades are pending a physical.

    --------------

    OK, so we now know that the Browns were not satisfied with their RB #3, as some of us were speculating.  

    Wilkins and Hall were not the answer...and poor John Kelly, ever the brides maid.  And it makes me wonder how secure Felton is.  At what point do you decide that there's a WR that you value more than him...and a RB that you value more than him?
