    Hey slapdick....how do you know that he wanted to come back here? Read the article that was posted on cleveland.com. He wrote Phil was here 1999-2012 in his locker after the last home game. Does that sound like a guy who WANTED to come back this season? Were you in the meetings between Phil and the front office? Maybe he said if you franchise tag me, I'll just retire rather than play another season? As someone else said, he's wanted out the last two seasons and who can blame him. He's had to play on some pretty shitty teams over the years.

    If you want to blame someone...blame the last owners and front office jerk offs who couldn't put a winning team on the field. He knows we're rebuilding still and he's only got a couple of good years left. The dude wants to win some games and play in the playoffs, theres not one person on this board if they're being honest would say that they would rather play in Cleveland than San Francisco at this point.

    PG....you are a fucking Retard and this board is dumber every time you post something.

    Phil...good luck and thanks for all the years of service and putting up with a shitty team over and over again.

    He wanted a chance at a ring before he retires, don't blame him one bit. Good luck.

    Exactly...and anyone here who is being honest would do the exact same thing.

    I'd stay with the Browns.

    ...so would I.

  • The NFL is a business, not a charity organization. Phil desires new opportunities elsewhere, so we pickup a young K to be our franchise kicker for the next 14 years. End of story.

    PoeticG is exactly whats wrong with many US professional sports fans...they treat everything in sports so damn personally. Relax, and remember that its a BUSINESS. If you had more prestigious, higher paying opportunities at a competing company of the one you're working at right now, would you take it? You'd be an absent minded idiot if you didn't. Cya Dawson, and no offense but as a kicker you are incredibly replaceable.

  • We lost Dawson for a 1 yr 2.25 mill contract. Hmmmm!!???

    ... and a final chance to leave a mark on the NFL, as well as get a ring on the way out.

    Good for you Phil. I was glad when Kosar got his with the Cowboys and same for Phil.

  • It's sad news.

    It was the only 1999 veteran left.

    We'll miss him but I wish him the best in his new life on the bay.

    Thank you for everything you did in orange and brown uniform, Phil.

  • Mary Kay Cabot Mary Kay Cabot ‏@MaryKayCabot Dawson on if #Browns had made same offer: "If worms had guns, birds wouldn't eat 'em. Once became apparent SF was legit, got excited''

    Dawson = Worm, Banner = Bird, San Frans offer = Gun

    Banner tried to lowball Dawson and wouldn't pay him more. That's how I interpret it anyhow.

    Subsequently I feel like this could a perfect slogan for the NRA against the new gun law measures.

  • I think Dawson's decision had nothing to do with money and everything to do with playing for a contender while he still can. I think that's pretty clear here. He's been trying to do this for the past two seasons but was unable to when the Browns franchised him. I wish him all the luck and will be a part-time 49ers fan next year. This guy toiled on a shitty team for long enough. It's time he got a shot at glory. People who are angry over this, whether towards Dawson or Banner, just don't get it. So long Phil, and thanks for all the kicks.

  • Burn his jersey!

    Right?

    That's how we fly off the handle

    Right?

  • Thanks Phil!! Brown for life.

    If you're making a reference to LeBum, totally different situation. Dawson- native Texan, Bum- native NE Ohio. Dawson 14 years with team, nearing end of career. Bum, in prime of career, would rather play with his pals. Doubt anyone burned an Ilgauskas jersey- there's your apples to apples comparison.

    Typical woody response. Nothing of substance.

    The funny thing may be, however, that with the Super Bowl curse, the Browns could end up being the better team!!

    Whadday think about that?

  • Thanks phil for all of the patients you had through thick and thin, class act.

    One of the all time great browns players!

    If you're making a reference to LeBum, totally different situation. Dawson- native Texan, Bum- native NE Ohio. Dawson 14 years with team, nearing end of career.

    Well considering you're still calling Lebron a name years later...

    I'm pretty sure he left to go win, and did.

    Oh I know its "how he did it"... my b

    yeah he left to win. if bo schembeckler would have 'left to win' and deserted the wolverines you'd be still pissing shit out your dick about that.

    so let me ask you after all these years: you're a browns fan that lives in michigan? you like the browns but hate everything else about cleveland: the college teams obviously, the cavs and indians too?

    do yourself a favor and lay off other fans that have pulled for these teams since they were kids. stick to browns only topics cuz you won't win many people over by dissin people that still have ill will towards the biggest traitor in cleveland sports history besides art modell.

    everyone should have known the dude was not legit when he showed up to indians games wearin a yankees hat.

    fuck that fool.

    That's right- what Mike said. Only thing similar between LeBron and Dawson is they left to win. Everything else is a horse of a different color. I'm sure you just love it when the rare Michigan born HS stud heads south to play for Ohio State. Multiply that by a factor of 100, and you'll get the general idea of how people in Cleveland felt when the hometown boy took his talents to South Beach, and spit in our face on National TV.

    It would be far easier to forget about the betrayal if James wasn't from Ohio- in fact it wouldn't even have been called that- just another Superstar moving on for a bigger payday. The Indians wrote a book on that type of scenario- there were two ex-Indians pitching against one another in a World Series not so long ago.
