  • From what I understand, dude signed with the Vikings so it is a mute point

  • He could help the team this year but it would probably be at the expense of a rookie with raw ability. I think he goes to an almost sure playoff team

    or a 'moot point' as the case may be.... (sorry, couldn't resist)

    I stand corrected; appreciate the help

  • Why is everybody obsessed with developing young players. These undrafted and late round pics you want to develop more than likely wont cut it. Everybody wanted to develop Alex Hall, Beau Bell, Martin Rucker etc. etc are they even in the league anymore....... Why not get a capable guy that can contribute until we use a early round pick to fill the position or somebody develops how there supposed to. Guys that people talk about developing wont get playing time anyway, so who exactly would these proven vets be taking playing time from?

    Especially if Robo is a dud and doesn't shape up. We can cut him, sign Housh, cut our losses and draft a better WR down the line. But MoMass, Housh, Stuckey, Cribbs and Engram would be viable.

    You are nuts. They aren't going to cut Robiskie just to sign Housh. If that doesn't happen immediately, Housh won't be available. And they aren't going to cut Robiskie after the great offseason he's had.

    Ask Leinart how his offseason went. It went great, then came the games and.... he was cut. Just sayin'...

    According to whom? Leinart? Stop being ridiculous.

    We aren't talking about guys like Alex Hall, Martin Rucker, Carlton Mitchell, et. al.

    We are talking about guys like Massaquoi, Robiskie, and Stuckey.

    And nothing ruins good team chemistry, which the Browns seem to have, more than a locker room Cancer, which Housh is from all accounts.

    Im not talking about just housh, every vet that come's available get's shot down. These guys wouldn't be brought in to take reps away from our young guys that have shown they can get it done. You bring them in for depth, 3rd, 4th guys, injury insurance. Jarvis Green sounds like some good depth on the D-line to me, why not add him. We need depth at WR, I dont who else is available there but I know Cincy released Dez Briscoe today, Im hoping we bring him in on the practice squad. Justin Hartwig wouldn't be a bad backup at C/G. Good teams add these type guys, you cant do it all with young unproven players

  • Could be a Great Fit in The Browns system Lets Take him.

    Yeah, because great preseason is the tell tail sign of a great career. Keep your OSU bias out of your comments and your opinion might change.

  • Does anyone else see a connection in the delay of the release of our cuts and a possible acquisition of TJ?

    BTW Myron Rolle was just cut. Lets take him! We need depth at Safety.

    Because the "proven vets" Hooshie, Barber, you name it- aren't going to want to waste the few remaining productive years they have going to a rebuild project- take the rose colored glasses off, and admit that's exactly what the Browns are. Yeah, let's bring in every washed up (or 1\2 washed up) vet and become the Nouveau Washington Redskins "Over the Hill Gang"- George Allen tried that once, and here's a big hint- it didn't work.

    BTW, if Carroll cut Hooshie and is bringing in Williams that should tell you all you need to know- the guy is shotso.

    George Allen did win a superbowl with the "over the hill gang" so shut up. And I would like to say, if we get housh, a nice veteran receiver, it'll be a nice complement to our young but talented receivers.

    That may be the case buts it no reason not to want some of them. They may or may not wanna come her, but you gotta try. And I'm not looking for guys to replace players like Robiskie, MoMass, Rubin. Im talking a vet willing to back some of these guys up, that can come in and be serviceable if thrust into a role.

    BTW, if Carroll cut Hooshie and is bringing in Williams that should tell you all you need to know- the guy is shotso.

    or it could be so they can give Vincent Jackson the big payday he's looking for. I dont think he's done, he just doesn't have anything around him.

    Wow. This really is a bad day for Shep. Mike Williams was the one "bust" he always reminded me about. Now he is getting promoted to the first team on the same day his sweetheart Leinart is getting cut. Let's hope the Broncos don't put a merciful end to Brady Quinn's career, Shep may be on suicide watch....

    Zombo

    😆 I just went over to the other place, gave Shep a loaded gun and politely asked him if he wanted to use it. Actually, I revoked his qb card. 🙂

  • Give it a rest guys- like I said earlier- we aren't overpaying for vets- and they're going to look at winning teams- or a ton of money first before they'll play in Cleveland.

    Shut the F up dude. Seriously. It isn't OSU bias to want to give a 2nd year WR a chance to prove he can play. Especially by all accounts he's finally "getting it" this year. How else are we to analyze him in his sophomore year other than by this year's offseason? If the player is no good, I don't care if he's from OSU. But you don't just throw away a player who has tons of potential, looks good, because some aging vet becomes available. That's idiotic.

  • mikeyP72 said:

    Thaak what are you talking about? I have seen little production out of Robo and I was a huge fan of picking him. If he can't produce this year, it's time to cut him loose. Some other people made some very valid points - and since when has Housh been known to be a locker room cancer? Are you making that up? Link?

    Sure, AFTER next preseason maybe.

    Why do I have to provide a link? If you haven't been paying attention to NFL news in the last 2 years, then that isn't my fault.

  • I have a feeling Housh will be signing with the Redskins, they need another WR. Remember he wasnt cut becuase of lack of talent he was cut because of saving money in the end. The skins always have some kind of money left.
