    My major issue with him is that he was a steeler

    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...

      Thats the beauty of finally having a good(deep) team. The grass is no longer greener on the other side.

      Sorry, but the Browns are just too good of a team to chase these types of retreads anymore. Let someone else have em.

          Pettine has already said they have no interest in bringing someone back who only contributes on one phase of the game like that, when the Cribbs question was raised. Holmes would fall under the same category, especially with Gordon coming back.

          Not that I am advocating it, but why do you think Holmes would only be able to contribute on special teams? He is, after all, an accomplished WR. Winning catch in the SB and all that. I don't even remember him much as a PR.

            Well our WRs are doing pretty well, and we're about to get Gordon back. I doubt they disrupt that for Holmes, for several reasons, both performance and personality.

              Yes, I understand all that. That is why I would not necessarily be in favor of the Browns getting him. But that was not my question. My question is that someone said they thought Holmes would ONLY be a PR......but in his career, with all its ups and downs, he has primarily been a WR. Why would someone think he would not be used at WR IF he were brought here? He would play WR....and maybe return punts.

                I don't think they would disrupt the WR rotation we have currently for someone like Holmes. With Gordon back, we have a very decent group that doesn't need a disruptive influence like Holmes.

                So that would just leave PR/KR, which is not something you 'disrupt' by changing a player, but the regime isn't bringing in someone for that specific role.

                  At the heart of it, I just want someone who isn't going to make half of my face droop every time they line up to return a punt.

                      Santonio Holmes? He is way past his prime. I say no thanks, but good luck.

                        I'd be in on signing him, but there's no chance we do

                            We don't need another < 6' receiver.

                            I still believe we have plenty of people who can return punts, we just haven't made the change yet.

                            Why not gilbert, Gabriel, Moore, Hawkins?

                                  Incognito may be a bit too slow for zone scheme, but if McDonald is out who knows. Lawd knows we could use the depth.

                                    I thought part of drafting Gilbert so high was he could return punts/kicks too.

                                      No our team is good with the young talent we got. Honestly i wouldnt mind putting Benjamin back out there. Even good players have off days.

                                          When Gordon comes back then Travis Benjamin will return punts.

                                          DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!
