Weeden Holding Out?

The Browns Board

  • I came here hoping to read the opinions and it seems you guys don't even have a thread about it? Man you boys are slacking! Apparently he's holding out to ensure his 4th year is guaranteed. I personally think it's BS, considering he's done nothing to prove he's worth additional guaranteed money. I do get his angle because he is older but considering where he was drafted I'd be pretty aggravated with his current position. Thoughts?

  • Worry about your own boys,we'll worry about ours...Or secretly. You just love us too much!

  • I do worry about how the tone has changed.

    I'm not trolling but posts like the above only encourage trolling. I saw that he was holding out and came here to read the opinions on the matter. I was surprised to see that there wasn't a thread discussing it. Even when I'm not trolling or "flaming" I still get accused of doing it. I also couldn't care less about Weeden holding out BUT things are slow in the NFL right now and I was curious.

  • Still a month away from training camp, no reason to be worried yet. I'm sure they'll get it done

    Training Camp is a month away- too early to get overly concerned yet.

  • Same thing is happening with your boy Decastro. Same thing happened last season with the players drafted in the same time slot. They all signed in time. Nothing to worry about.

    DeCastro isn't holding out. I only made this thread because I thought it was ridiculous that he was demanding his 4th year be guaranteed. I'm sure he'll sign but still think it's being selfish.

  • He wants the 4th year guaranteed so that he can collect his social security when the contract is up.

    and he can get the senior citizen discount at the local shop and drop on tuesdays.

    You'd better stay home and keep an eye out for Ben....those sorority parties can be very enticing.

  • It's not holding out until he misses a scheduled event due to contract issues. 30 days out still. chill...

    DeCastro is doing the same thing. All the draft picks in that area are doing the same thing.

    The national media is only paying attention to Weeden because he is a QB, but you boy is holding out for the same exact reason.

    I'm talking about Weeden saying he wants a guaranteed 4th year which is strange for players drafted in the last part of the first round. DeCastro not long ago reported to the Steelers for the first time because of the class schedule at Standford. Usually it's a guaranteed 3 years for players drafted in the last part of the first and THAT is the reason i started the thread. I'm fully aware that DeCastro hasn't signed but he's not threatening to "hold out" of training camp. He just hasn't signed yet.

    You need to grow up. I said a good long while ago I was done playing these games on this message board.

    And Weeden hasn't said he is holding out and I quote, "I don't want to be fined 30K a day." DeCastro did not need to be in Pittsburgh to get his deal done. All those guys mentioned in the article are trying to get all or some of their final year guaranteed. I fine it incredibly stupid that you claim it's weird for players at that point in the draft to get their final year guaranteed when it's only the 2nd year of the pay scale and as I mentioned before all the players from this same draft area held out this long last season to (surprise!) try to get more money parentage in their 4th season.

    Go back to your own board and stop trying to kick sand at people from what is a bare cement floor.

    You boys are ridiculous. I start a thread for a legit discussion with ZERO ill will and everyone here is acting as if I'm pissing on their front lawn. I posted this because i DID read that he said he was "holding out" until his 4th year was guaranteed, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it at all.
