Nate Burleson SIGNED
-
If the browns release Little,then I'm all for it..wich I'm surprised that hasnt happened yet.
Havent you heard?? He would make a good project while taking up roster space to convert to a RB or a TE or a CB or a Safety.............Please insert heavy sarcasm here. I get so sick of reading that shit about little I could puke. He might make a good shoe..............................you know with my foot up his ass booting him out the door.

This signing is great. The only thing we were missing in our WR corp more than talent, was a veteran who could:
A - Mentor the young guys
B - Be trusted on 3rd down, and in big-time situations
Gordon / Hawkins / Burleson / Benjamin ... we're getting there
-
I dont expect this team to have 53 pro bowlers..I like Burleson as a WR..I just think we couldve saved a few dollars....It was not something we needed.
I think you underestimate veteran leadership. Before some of these guy were brought in, we lacked that, especially in the receiver meeting room.

I like the "play like a Brown comment. I love the idea of a clear culture that Pettine is working towards.
We have been "saving a few dollars" for years, and that sure has worked well. Not an area of need?? Our WR core was one of the worst, if not the worst in the NFL last year (yea, yea, Gordon, I know, I'm talking the entire WR core) and has been for years. Nate led the NFL last year in catches vs targets at 73%.
From Farmer:
"We added Nate because we believe he can play like a Brown, with the added veteran presence that can help young players reach their potential," Browns general manager Ray Farmer said. "He's a pro's pro. Hes the quality-character person that understands the NFL from all angles and sides.
"He can play, which is evident in his beginning to last season prior to missing time, with production and value. He will improve our roster and overall competition at the wide-receiver position."
-
How much cap space do we still have? Are you writting the checks? Then I don't understand why people are complaining about a one year deal that likely isn't even worth that much to bring in a guy who is a proven leader and productive WR. He had what, 500 yards receiving when he played only half a season last year? Even if he drops off, like I expect he will, he is going to be a positive presence and a good contributor.
-
He's certainly not going to hurt the team in any way, so I don't know what all the bitching is about. Yay, veteran mentor...now how long until the draft?

Burleson could end up being the best signing this offseason.
One year contract, probably cheap, and guys are bitching?
-
i'm not bitching. just didn't think the move was NECESSARY.
big difference. doesn't hurt me one way or another.
can't win for losing in this fucking place.
