    Ward can leave with chud we need a safety that can wrap and tackle not whiff half the time.

    omg seriously dude? ward is one of the best safeties in the NFL. If we had someone ready to step in there than fine, but we don't. Ward is one of the best run stopping safeties in the NFL. He's one of the league's best players. If he was playing on a better team he'd be getting way more cred.

  • Ward and Mack can walk

  • ward had an ok year, but then again he was playing for a contract. He is no where near the top 3 Safeties though

  • Tony Grossi will have new inside information on the firing of #Browns HC Rob Chudzinski posted on http://espncleveland.com at 6 am.

    He's top 10. Keeping him should be a priority.

    he was lucky to not have that streak broken this year, that is if you consider an 8-8 season a "winning" season. Sorry thats a losing season in my book. Oldest defense in the NFL will be one year older next season.

    His team had something to play for in week 17, I wish we had that.

    There is no light at either end of the tunnel for us right now. It is a dark day in Browns Country right now. Especially when the best players like Thomas, Ward, and Jackson were backing Chud. And I just saw an acticle on Ward saying that Chud's future whould help make his decision come FA time.

    Ward can leave with chud we need a safety that can wrap and tackle not whiff half the time.

    Ok. So what about Thomas? He said he would back Chud. And what about how Gordon feels about this? Seems he has worked his ass off and has really stepped up, how do we know Chud didn't play a part in that? Surely Haden isn't happy about this either. What about DQ, our defensive captain who we probably can't replace, at least not right away.

    Wasn't this about ward? But since you asked Thomas under contract, Gordon under contract. They will support whoever is brought in. DQ has been the best LB we have had but I'm so tired of all his tackles that are 10 to 15 yards downfield has he ever had a tackle for loss?

  • At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they gutted the entire roster.

    Literally every single analyst seems to disagree with you.

    If McDaniels comes to Cleveland, it doesn't matter what font size you use...it will happen.

    No it won't. McDaniels realized how bad he fucked up. We all do.

    Do you really believe that? These are ego driven control freaks. Tebow was drafted in the first round by McDaniels. McDaniels then brought him to New England. If McDaniels comes to Cleveland, it's highly likely he brings Tebow with him or he doesn't come to Cleveland.

    As for Mallet, Belichick won't give him up for anything other than a first. Banner won't give up a first for Mallet, no matter what Lombardi says.

    It's about all of our top players, including Ward. When the leaders of your team come out and back the HC, then you go ahead and fire him anyhow, that is a shitty thing to do to those players. Look at a guy like Thomas, who took a big contract extension to stay with us, because he believed the team was heading in the right direction. What kind of message does this send when the best players you have are against the firing of the HC but they just go ahead and do it anyhow. If I were those players, I would be demanding a trade.

  • fuck mack. ward has to stay. he's our only fucking safety we have.

    bring back rob ryan as head coach and a little foot kick to his brother might bring in homeboy mangold for the rest of his career.

    you are putting way too much on the emotional side of the game. the players get paid, nicely correct? are they are just going to leave because a coach they liked got fired? GTFO! really.

    hate to burst your bubble but you do know keanu reeves is gay correct? well maybe you do know and are a fudge packer yourself.

  • The only thing that could possibly lead to that would be some sort of problem between the FO and Chud. The FO's inability to provide players had more to do with this season's failures than the Head Coach. If the FO has their sights set on hiring a specific coach may be available this off season, then I could see them doing something like that.

    Agree... there's more here than we know. Maybe Grossi sheds some light tomorrow AM...

    Uncertainty over Chudzinski angers players

    December, 29, 2013By Pat McManamon | ESPN.com

    The feelings of the players were evident, though.

    “That’s ridiculous,” linebacker D'Qwell Jackson said.

    “I’d be very surprised if they make a change,” tackle Joe Thomas said. “And disappointed.”

    “I like coach Chud a lot,” said tight end Jordan Cameron. “He’s a great coach and he did a great job, and it’s his first year. I like the way he is. He’s a competitor and he’s a grinder.”

    Cameron later added: “Guys deserve a chance to turn a program around and get things going, so (the possibility) is kind of shocking. I’m all for Chud and what he does, and support him 100 percent.”

    Safety T.J. Ward, who could be a free agent, said the team believed in Chudzinski through the entire season.

    “If we didn’t believe in him we wouldn’t have played for him,” Ward said. “You’d see a lot of rebelling and a lot of guys doing their own thing, and I don’t think that happened at all this year. It just didn’t happen the way we wanted it. When you have guys playing until the end of the season when there’s nothing to play for, you know you’ve got a good coach.”

    “To start over again, it would be devastating, I think,” Thomas said.

    Sure doesn't sound like a team that quit on Chud...

    @d-bone said:

    I guess this shows Jimmy is serious about winning, and losing will not be tolerated by anyone. I hope the FO, and players are watching.

    Guess again...

    @browns149 said:

    We appreciate Chud’s passion for the Browns, and we have great respect for him both personally and professionally,” the team said in a statement. “We needed to see progress with this football team. We needed to see development and improvement as the season evolved and, unfortunately, we took a concerning step backward in the second half of the year. Our fans deserve to see a consistently competitive team. We have high standards, and there’s an urgency for success. When we believed we were not positioned to achieve significant progress in 2014, we knew we had to admit that a change was needed, and move forward. Browns fans are the most loyal and passionate supporters in the NFL. We’re fully committed to bringing them the winning football team they deserve.”

    Sounds like BS to me, but what really scares me is the "urgency for success". Seems 180 deg off of the pre-season party line... reeks of panic... or resentment.

    I totally disagree with your drunken rant...Expect Ward,mack and DQJ to be gone next year...oh and guess what...we'll be 2-14 next year and fire the next coach we hire..mark it down...
