  • The way I see it if we can afford to give evan moore a 2 yr. Extension worth 3 mil a year, there should be no problem doing a deal for hillis. Give him a 4yr ext. Worth about 24-28 mil. And both sides should be happy.

    !!!!hopefully i'll be alive when it happens!!!!

  • Like so many others have already said, Hillis is not AP and therefore is not worth AP level money. I do think we need to try our best to resign him but believe the Front Office is waiting to see how he produces this year before offering him anything. The Front Office wants to see how Hillis does in the West Coast Offense while also seeing how Hardesty does, each back has their pros and cons. I like the idea of the Front Office waiting to see how Hillis produces this year so they don't overpay him for last years breakout season.

    I know the general philosphy of the WCO is for the "pass to set up the run" but I would rather see it the other way around. Hillis and Hardesty run the ball then use the short to intermediate passes to get the 1st down. Doing it this way would enable Little and Cribbs to get single coverage and use their physicality and agility to move the chains.

    The Pats are all set with BJGE and Ridley. Also, the best we could get for Hillis would be a 4th.

  • it IS the madden curse for hillis this year, but self inflicted. i guess along with the cover on some video game comes a big head and thoughts of big money.

    sure he's worth more but what's the life expectancy (in football) for a RB, 3 years average? so he's on the down slope of his career?

    so tell me, who wanted hillis in this trade with denver if we knew we were switching to this bullshit WCO and he wouldn't fit into the system? yeah, there's your genius holmgren. fat fxxk.

  • Talent starved Cleveland can ill afford any dissension in the locker room. Show some love, tell Hillis he will get market valure with some incentives and

    end the distraction. jfs

  • Say the Front Office does let Hillis walk because they can't come to a contract negotiation and now all we have is Hardesty, who shows promise, and Jackson, who is currently on IR. Do we go after a big time RB in the draft? For example; Trent Richardson from Alabama, Marcus Lattimore from South Carolina or Dyer out of Auburn.

    You're right. But the NFL is the "what have you done for me lately" league. And last season, he got a lot more carries and was sort of an unknown.

    I think it's easy to game plan against the Browns Offense. The defense just has to play up to the line. WCO means short throws and bruiser back means crash up through the line.

  • Hmmm.. Article in Yahoo Sports bringing this up now.. What the Hell.. seriously.. A player that this team wants to root for and see play and we are going to let him walk... Lord I hope not.
