Rumor: Rubin may be the next cut

thenew23

He can go. Winn and Hughes have played better at times, and they are younger and getting paid much less... I'd prefer a trade him, but with his massive contract that would be difficult.

Rubins our best lineman, still better than Taylor...let's be clear about that. He would have gotten us something real good in a trade. But now we're gonna cut him and get nothing.

Yep. Farmer sucks, get rid and lets get new guys in.

well in his defense the decision on Rubin should have been made last year and he wouldn't have been the signal caller on that one. I mean now, what can they do? The joos in the FO say we don't want to pay vets like Rubin and DQ, so that's that. Rubin I at least understand letting walk cause we have backup at his position. DQ I will never understand. And what these two losses mean for the lockeroom is a big question. Guys will start questioning being here and playing their asses off. Stil salty though that we're not gonna get shit for Rubin. There are teams out there that are "desperate" for a 3-4 NT of Rubins caliber. Even 4-3 teams would be pickled shit to have him, he's one of the best down lineman in the NFL. I know Indy will be all over his ass. Indy picks up Rubin and that defense just became potential top 5.

I think Wynn/Houghes/A.Bryant can fill that gap pretty well... he is more of a run stuffing 4-3 DT than he is attacking 3-4 DE...multiple front philosophy aside, he is not worth 7Mill considering the other guys we have to rotate in already.

yep I was screamin for them to trade him last year. Was told not worth it. Man just shows how stupid banner and Lombardi was

miktoxic

well we haven't cut him yet.

there's a march 11th (?) cap hit, after that a lot of teams will be resigning players, so maybe they're just waiting. i mean mack or ward haven't been taken care of yet either.

calm down marys.

Harry Buffalo

With the amount of cap space the Browns have they should just eat his contract and if they want to get rid of him trade him away. We have plenty of depth, so I'm not worried about losing him, but I don't like the idea of cutting a player that has decent trade value on him. He is worth at least a 3rd or 4th round pick.

Same for DQ, we could have gotten a second rounder for DQ, at the least.

Your out of your fucking mind if you think we would have received at least a second rounder for Dq. Out of your godamn mind.

You realize this is the same person that thinks Weeden could get us a fourth right?

The reality is that the salary cap is 133 million. There are 53 players on a team. That averages out to 2.5 million per player. Winn and Hughes are on rookie minimum deals, and are on the same level as Rubin, and honestly I dont think hes a great fit in the 3/4. Hes a good 4/3 DT. Same thing goes for Jackson.

No. Not clear about that. I'd prefer Taylor any day, and honestly I think Winn and Bryant are equal to or better than Rubin. So, NO we're not clear about that at all...

No I didn't realize that..... I haven't be around the BB all that long... But really, weeds for a fourth? Your not just outta your fucking mind, your goddamn Retarded! I wouldny trade a 7yh rounder or a bag of my own feces for weeds.

I think he also said Colt McCoy was worth a 2nd round pick.

There's reality, there's homer logic, then there's PoG.

LOL. Well goddamn maybe farmer needs to hit the road then and well usher in an era of dominance by making PoG GM, head coach, OC, DC, LBC, SC, etc. The browns will make history and win ten straight super bowls since we can get second rounders for 3rd string qbs and possibly 1st rounders to trade away mediocre middle linebackers (as far as his in the field play goes, in the locker room by all accounts DQ was one of the best).
