  • Another receiver I like who as of now is headed to the market is Pierre Garcon.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • I don't think any free agent in their right mind would come to Cleveland if a payday is not their number one priority.

    And honestly I'd have to question them if they would come here for anything but a pay day.

    They'd have to be just as or even dumber than Shurmur, I don't see how any competent player would play for this guy.

    Play calling and field decisions aside, the shit this guy says in press conferences seriously makes me wonder if this dude is mentally Retarded.

    For a long time I felt that way. And for a few of the older guys it probably still rings true.

    For that guy who signed a 3-4 year rookie contract...a guy who wan't a first rounder and didn't get the big payday, money indeed is a big concern.

    If we pay them, they will come.

    Simple as that.

    peyton manning anyone?

    can tell u 2 things for sure.............#1 the Steelers will not be letting Wallace go........#2 Wallace would cut his balls off and play for the Pittsburgh Passion women's team before he played ball for the stains.

    He will go where the money is, no matter what.

  • Here are some moves that could take place this offseason that should help the Browns to improve quickly in 2012.

    *If he's not franchised, sign Matt Flynn to be the starting QB.

    *Hire G.B.'s QB Coach Tom Clements to be the OC. (West Coast system, worked with Flynn)

    *Sign a second teir Free Agent WR ie. Robert Meachem or Pierre Garcon.(don't see them going for a 1st teir WR)

    *Resign Hillis and Ogbonnaya to go with Hardesty and Jackson.(if healthy, should be a good enough group of RBs)

    *Resign key FAs like D'Qwell Jackson and Mike Adams.

    *Trade down out of the #4 spot if possable and take T Matt Kalil for the right side of the O-line. Move Pinkston to RG with Eric Steinbach coming back at LG and that might be the best line in the league.

    *With the second 1st round pick, go for a WR like Alshon Jeffery. Add that to the FA WR, G. Little and J. Norwood and the WR core is much improved.

    -With these moves, the Browns would still have 7 or eight picks left to fill in there roster. Also, this plan only calls for 2 outside FAs being brought in. Should leave room for more moves.

    Free agents will come to Cleveland, especially if we upgrade QB ... we have a lot of defensive talent , a lot of draft picks and an arrow pointing UP next to our name. We've got money, a respected team prez, our players are treated well, the community embraces them, etc...

    I love the youth movement, I see exactly where we are going talent-wise, Shurmur will become a better game day coach, his bungling this year just got us better draft picks in every single round, we werent ready anyway.

    It is time to sprinkle in a couple vets. Robert Mathis would turn Jabal Sheard into an All Pro ... get him. Colston or Bowe on the other side of Little.

    With so many draft needs, if we could take two of them off the board with some big signings we would greatly speed up our ascent to contention.

    Do most the FA signings happen prior to the Draft then, my mind is going blank trying to think back, must be all the Whisky, Moonshine and Orange Shit rotting my brain. Free Agency starts looks like Mar 13th, so will have over a month til the NFL Draft, suppose most the better players will go before the Draft, and will just be left with the dross afterwards.

  • Getting Wallace could be good, very good. Doubt he would come, but you talk about a defense stretcher, he has the speed and the hands we need and we don't waste a pick on a top WR.

    I'm slightly concerned about the WR from NO. Only because WR's and QB's make each other great IMO. We know they can produce, but do we have the right QB, to let them produce. Right now, in Colt or Seneca, I don't believe we have guys that have the confidence to throw the way Brees does.

  • Would love Dwayne Bowe but he's going somewhere that has a solid QB. Colt can't get it done.

  • Barry Sanders Jr. Tyvm lol skip college and the draft and walk on PLZ

    FA Desean or Vincent Jackson, Mario Manningham, and Meachem or Colston depending on which the saints pay we take the other one for some reason those saints players like coming to Cleveland last few years and i would def accept either of them.

    In Cleveland failure is an artform.

  • Zombo said:

    You are right ... that's the way free agents think ... which is why Colt wont be our QB in 12, it'll be RG3, Luck or Manning.

    Zombo

    Good wide receivers do want to play for teams with solid quarterbacks, so Colt wouldn't help us out in that regard. But drafting Luck or RG3 wouldn't help either because they are unproven rookies which adds no real stability. Manning might bring in a couple good WRs but no way we spend big bucks on a QB who only has a few good years left at most..

    I think everyone needs to realize that no big name WR will be signed by Cleveland this offseason. We might be able to sign a mediocre WR like Manningham but no way we can bring over Vince Jackson or DeSean Jackson (unless DeSean Jackson loves Heckert for drafting him or something crazy like that). We will get our WRs from the draft just like we have with every other position the past 2 years. Any free agent acquisition will bring in someone for cheap depth..

    sign Colsten, Mathis, and maybe a bandaid RB.

    Draft CB, RT, and a Saftey (Possibly a compitition QB like Keenum or Cousins)

    And run with it
