bob sanders?

He is very injury prone but if he could stay healthy is great..
I wouldn't mind if we signed him to an incentive deal

I would- the guy can't stay healthy. Never lasted an entire 16 games in his career, and has played a total of nine games in the last three seasons. We've entered the "Silly Season"- bring in the cripples and head cases to "help" us out.

Since he was a native to erie I always followed him, but I thought I read somewhere last season he was hanging up his cleats?
Is he an urfa?
I always liked his speed and how hard he hit but wasn't ever sure how long he was going to last hiting like that.

Too expensive. Hurt week 1 first play.
-
He won't get a big contract.. I'm not saying it would be a good signing but teams who have struggled need to take risks. The only risks I have seen the browns make in the last decade was signing veteren qbs who blow.. we paid delhomo 7.5 million, I would rather pay bob sanders 3 million for four games..
Drew brees, I'm sure miami was happy for not signing him cause of his shoulder injury..
-
I would give him a shot. He has always been one of my favorite players, so it may just be the bias in me. When healthy he is a defensive player of the year contender though, so I would say yeah.
Give him like a million dollar signing bonus, 2 year 3 million dollar deal, and then incentives for if he stays healthy. Make his max contract (with incentives) like 2 years 8 million, and a club option for the 3rd year for like 5 or 6 million.

If you cover yourself with the proper contract it might be worth a gamble. There aren't too many people out there with his upside. That being said, I wouldn't go blowing a bunch of money up front for him.

Ur Retarded.. some one will sign him, and if he stays healthy which is a big if he will be a steal. If he doesn't stay healthy as long as u don't sign him to a garenteed money then oh well.
You guys signed flozell adams when a lot of teams didn't want to sign some one who is old and injured.
That worked out well..
You don't sign him giving him a multi year deal or even expecting to get much out of him. I guess troy palumalo is done to since he has been hurt the last couple of years.

Gotta love a Cathedral Prep Rambler...I'd be happy to see the Browns pick him up, but the injury history is a big risk. Healthy he's the best Safety in the league (Yes better than polomalu).
I'm sure someone will give him a chance!

Hotel NEVER had the history of injuries like Sanders; no where close.
Sanders has basically missed most of the last 3 seasons. I mean, for real?
Hotel is older, but without all the major injuries.

Homotron is that you.....
What are serious injuries?
I think he had an acl, then a bicep, then tricep.
Rey lewis tore his bicep last year looked damn good to me and he's older than bob.
I don't think those are out of the normal career ending injuries.
Health is a an issue but like it has already been repeated incentive laden contract. The guy can play when he is 100%. And I like to see two hard hitters like ward and sanders in the backfield.

Did you go to school there or play us?
Didn't think to many people outside of western PA knew the school.
-
Hell no...no no and HELL NO. I've been pining for him to be released off of the Colts for three years now. I'm sure Heck and Holmgren will do the right thing though and just pass on him like a bad ante up!!! Outstanding player that has played way too little in his career. I believe he has only had like two seasons that he played in more than 6 games for the season. I would rather a less impact but everyday player that can help the team develop rather than a spot player...aka Shaun Rogers.
Who let the DAWGS out?? -

You'd be surprised tho over the years I have heard many people from all over especially in PA, NY, and OH mention Prep when I say I'm from Erie,PA. Kind of amazing, that tons of people know of the school...it seems to be one of the most well known schools in the state

As said just take the gamble and sign him to a small guaranteed contract with more intensive bonus' meaning that if he wants to make more than a million a year he has to stay health and play. a 2 year 3 million guaranteed contract isn't the big of a risk and doesn't hurt the salary cap.
The unfortunate part is that you know someone will give him alot more guaranteed and there is not way a smart front office with Holmgren and Heckert will offer him enough to draw him here.

We signed Flozell Adams to play RT, not LT where he initially wanted to play. He didn't get the attention initially because we was trying out to play LT. After he realized he wasn't going to get the offers to play LT he switched and signed with us. I'd say that's a vastly different scenario. Bob Sanders is also different than Troy. Troy has certainly missed his fair share of games but Sanders seems to get injured on the regular and if he were worth keeping around the Colts would have retained him. I also doubt you'll be able to sign him to a incentive laden deal and the only way he's even worth looking at is if he signs a deal of that nature. Polamalu's injuries haven't been as severe and Bob Sanders is a little undersized all things considered. I wouldn't touch him for anything but a contract littered with specific incentives. I don't know why anyone would want another top tier team's cast off. They are being released for a reason whether it be a ridiculous contract or injury concerns and I don't know that the Browns are desperate for a safety. Draft one, it's what the good teams do.
AKA SNATCH98 or Rorbotron. The boards glorious admins decided to get cute and change my name to "homotron" Classy group of people. (Lost a bet with Columbus king and got banned for a month) -

Peyton Manning is arguably the best QB in the league and they need to pay him to keep him. Period. Bob Sanders was overpaid for how much he played, I will give you that. But when a top defensive player in the league is available, because he is oft injured, I would say give him a chance. As mentioned, it worked with Drew Brees. It worked with players like Randy Moss (not oft injured but didnt play to ability), Terrell Owens had a pro-bowl type season (and he has been hurt and old).
How about the Packers who won the Superbowl against your beloved Steelers without Jermichael Finley, Ryan Grant, Nick Barnett, Morgan Burnett, Brandan Chillar, Justin Harrel, and Mark Tauscher who were all on the IR last season. Dont tell me that if they weren't on the team that they wouldnt have still won the Superbowl, I will list them for it easier to read:
Brandon Jackson and James Starks would have done as well without seeing Ryan Grant
Andrew Quarless and Tom Crabtree would have done as well without Jermichael Finley and Donald Lee(who wasnt injured but was a great TE until JF got there)
.. I could keep going on for days but these players wouldnt have done as well without the leadership in front of them
If you are a Reds fan, Drew Stubbs picked it up when old and oft-injured Jim Edmonds was signed.
Young players take a liking to old players, and Colt McCoy said that Delhomme was pretty much his BFF.
I would take Bob for the experience alone, and he is a good locker room guy.
A lot of teams will be looking at him, not for a huge contract, we just have to give him a decent bonus, 1-2 mill will prolly work, and then give him incentives for games played, and I feel like he will sign with us.
Anyone that he signs with WILL be a better team. PERIOD!

I need to go to bed but I'm going to issue a quick response. You can't compare Sanders to some of the players you listed above. Randy Moss isn't anywhere close to the same which you've already alluded too. Owens is a physical specimen and a workhorse. He's never really had a "injury problem". You also can't compare him to Drew Brees because Drew Brees isn't running around laying the wood. He's throwing the rock. As far as some of the rest is concerned you realize the Steelers had a slew of injuries themselves right? Or did you decide to leave that portion out to strengthen your argument? You don't bring Sanders in to be a "locker room guy" just like the Browns didn't bring Delhomme in to be a locker room guy. Delhomme didn't deserve a roster spot and you all found out the hard way as the season progressed. If Sanders were worth keeping around I'm sure Manning would allow his contract to be altered to make room for Sanders under the cap. Fact of the matter is he's had some fairly serious injuries, he's undersized and he's not young anymore. Good teams don't take high profile gambles and Sanders is a high profile gamble. Could he pay off? Sure but if there were a legit could, he would with the Colts because they would have given him another contract. No I don't believe whichever team he signs with is immediately better because he's around maybe taking up space. A gamble not really worth taking unless of course you're desperate. Are the Browns desperate?

He won't get a big contract.. I'm not saying it would be a good signing but teams who have struggled need to take risks. The only risks I have seen the browns make in the last decade was signing veteren qbs who blow.. we paid delhomo 7.5 million, I would rather pay bob sanders 3 million for four games..
Drew brees, I'm sure miami was happy for not signing him cause of his shoulder injury..

If it's not a good signing, then guess what? It's a BAD signing. I hate to bust your bubble, but even with a 100% Sanders, the Browns aren't going to the Super Bowl this season. The guy is 5' 8", 206- that spells S-M-A-L-L. The odds say 100% he won't stay healthy for the entire season.
Really, even with the cash the Colts are going to have to shell out on Manning, don't you think Sanders would rather have restructured and stayed there? The Colts just told the league- we don't think this guy is worth vet minimum- knock yourselves out.
Brees is an entirely different critter- as a starter, he's played in at least 15 games every season save one- and that was 11 games. ONE injury pal, not blown knee and multiple season-ending muscle tears. Brees was so lousy when the Chargers dumped him he passed for 3,500 yards, and had an 89 qb rating. Not a guy who got hurt in the first game of 2010.
Gee, maybe we could have traded D'Qwell Jackson for Sanders- you think the Colts would have been interested?
