    Two-year incentive laden deal.

    Farmer seems to be giving everybody two seasons to prove themselves, I believe we are working on some sort of Master Plan for a change.

  • "two year deal worth up to 7 million." I like that!!!! Go Browns!!!

  • Couple of good free agent signings. Things are looking up finally.

  • Farmer/Pettine continue to impress me. I like the signing of Tate. What's comical (and somewhat scary) is that were Banner/Lombardi still here, I don't believe we would have had a chance at ANY FA success, so a good job by Jimmy H as well in sending the poison elsewhere.

    I honestly think this was Parcells doing. His advise to spend baby, spend.

    Yeah, I may wrong, but it's looking like Farmer is going to be really good for us.

    I think this FA period is even putting a bit of shine back on Haslam as an Owner - seems to be learning and fixing his mistakes.

    Hope we're in for some good times.

  • Holy crap. There's an exciting, energetic feeling about all of this.

  • I think 7 mill for 2 years very good deal for browns and from what im read im takeing the 7 mill includes incentives in the contract. If he stays healthy i think he will produce for us.

  • Interesting.

    Have Oby and Tate played together before ?

  • A few quick notes from the Conference :

    Nate Ulrich ‏@NateUlrichABJ 1h #Browns Ben Tate on being No. 1 RB: "Something that I've been waiting for for a long time. I'm ready to grab this opportunity & run w/ it"

    Nate Ulrich ‏@NateUlrichABJ 1h #Browns RB Ben Tate said he had more visits lined up he was going to take after CLE, but signed deal today b/c he thought best opportunity

    Nate Ulrich ‏@NateUlrichABJ 1h

    #Browns RB Ben Tate said his decision wasn't about the scheme, it's about connection he formed with coaches, believes in Mike Pettine.

    Nate Ulrich ‏@NateUlrichABJ 1h #Browns RB Ben Tate: I run hard. I feel like I'm explosive. I feel like if it's 3&1 & I need to go toe-to-toe w/ a LB, I can do that, too.

    Nate Ulrich ‏@NateUlrichABJ 1h #Browns RB Ben Tate: I feel like now that I'm being given this opportunity, I do feel like I'm going to be top-10, top-8, top-5 RB.

    Hope he stays healthy.

  • a 25 year old RB with relatively fresh legs signed for half the price of Trent Richardson's signing bonus alone? I'm on board.

  • If Pettine keeps this up I'll start callin' him Hannibal. His plan seems to be coming together.

    Fill the holes with passionate impact FA Big Dogs then draft the puppies and train 'em.

    If this keeps up the Browns will be one of the most fun teams to watch play this season and seasons to come.

  • I'm happy. Farmer seems legit and it looks like he is the right guy to bring good talent here

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

  • I'm happy with this so long as we still draft an RB this year.

  • Quick write up from Carucci (Ben Tate on joining the Cleveland Browns: 'I really wanted to be here') :

    http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/article-1/Ben-Tate-on-joining-the-Cleveland-Browns-I-really-wanted-to-be-here/2ae29419-08db-4761-83bb-78cea61c1261

    “In the grand scheme of things, I really wanted to be here,” Tate said. “At the end of the day, I thought this was going to be the best opportunity for me. I felt the pieces that were already here, offensive-line wise, and their plans in free agency and the draft, so I felt it was just going to be the best opportunity for me to help turn this thing around and take it to another level.”
