    I wouldn't be getting rid of him unless you knew you had something better to replace him with. Maybe they will draft another CB in the first round, like Prince Amakarmakameleon or somebody.

      OK, I have been a big Eric Wright fan since we got him, and I think that he just had an off year this year. If nothing else he will be a good Nickelback and with the season he had we should get a pretty good deal, especially compared to what he was looking towards getting.

      Eric Wright was regarded by some as a top 5 and at least top 10 CB coming into this year. I dont think that you can just decide to let him go based on one bad season. I'm not saying that we gotta go into the offseason not thinking about picking up a CB, cause man would I love Namdi Asomuagha if we could get him, and wouldnt be upset with Prince or Peterson in the draft if we were to go that route. I am just saying he will be great depth or a solid Number 2 if you ask me.

      What are you guys thinking we should do with the CB position this offseason?

        I heard at least one of the "experts" say it.

        And I am not saying we shouldnt try to upgrade, just that he will provide valuable depth come late in the season if, God forbid, someone gets hurt or anything.

            I honestly think another team will offer him a better deal and he will take it, i wouldnt mind us resigning him because we need the depth at CB and like other people say a great pash rush would help him alot....But i do feel like when its all said and done another team will outbid us for him and he will be gone

              He was picked on as a starting cb, but as a nickel back, he could be dangerous.

              I wonder if he was playing with some kind of lingering rib injury, the way he was

              unable to turn and run with wr's like he used to.

              Great backup cb.

                You must have seen a different player then I did. Great backup cb for whom? Not us.

                  Sheldon Brown played half a season with one arm , and still out played EW

                  He's constantly out of position,reacts too slow and is a pussy...I'll take my chances with Coye Francie...at least he's not afraid to hit

                    After last years draft I stated that the 2010 Defensive backfield (safty's and CB's) could be completely new.

                    (Brown, Haden, Ward and Asanti)...

                    Someone on this board slammed me saying; " What was Wright gonna be doin', playing checkers?"

                    Now it looks like Wright was playing checkers all season and got KINGED quite often....

                    His problem last year was that he missed assignments and took a lot of bad angles..

                    With his experience alone he could be a pretty good nickle back--He's just not quick enough to cover the top receivers....

                    Peace

                      the browns passing defense was ranked 18th in yards allowed and 20th in points allowed

                      just like any team, there is always a scapegoat and eric wright is the guy

                      the entire defense for the browns can play better and eric wright is no different, but hes also one of the better up and comin DBs in the league right now and its not a bad idea to keep him at least as a nickel or dime guy

                      hes well worth it

                      lots of teams would love to have a guy like him playing in their secondary

                        What are you smoking? Did you watch the games where he xxxxed up every play? Let the other team have him. I say shit can him, ASAP.

                          If you don't start Eric our total pass defense rank goes up at least 5 spots especially in points allowed. I think I counted around 8 touchdowns given up by Eric in just the first half of the year.

                              keep him. if the ball blows off the tee on a windy day he could hold it for the kicker.
