Santonio Holmes was waived
-
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.

When we played the bears in preseason I felt he still had some juice. You guys feel like he can't go? I think he was just out shined by the bears receiving corps which theoretically should be pretty good

Just NO. Happens on this board every time a "name" player gets cut. If you want to call a return average of 5.4 yards on 9 returns this year not wasting a roster spot.
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.
^ + 1.

When Gordon comes back then Travis Benjamin will return punts.
Only if butterfly nets are approved for use...
