  • The Eagles were pursuing houshmanzada put it looks like hes going to resign with cincy. Philly has to first round picks so do you think they will go after Edwards. Donovan has said hes going to wait and see what they do in the offseason to see what he wanted to do. If they bring Edwards in I think donovan would be alot more likely to sign a long term deal

    Awhile back they said if they couldn't sign a big name receiver in FA they would look to draft one of the top receivers, Crabtree or Maclin. Even with Crabtree's foot injury his stock hasn't dropped and they could be a solid trade partner for us. Crabtree won't make it out of the top ten.

    I'd take their #21 and their 2nd round pick to let them move up to #5.

  • i really dont think anyone would give up a 1st rounder for butterfingers

    I dont no if i would want to trade that far down for a late first and late second. Maybe if they threw in a 4th or 5th it would be a better trade

    Shawn Rodgers would. Zing....

  • That trade would be great for us, we could get our LB and draft Crabtree. Curry will not be there at 5. I would do this in a heart beat.

    Me too, but I think it is just another one of those forum rumors. Guys like us from NY looking for a WR speculating.

    I read something about the browns telling the Bucs to keep everything quiet about the trade or they would pull out of the trade talks, thats why we didnt hear anything till it was over. So if we are in trade talks with anyone Id imagine were not going to hear about it till its over

    Smart because you don't run into something like what's happening in Denver.

  • braylon had a off year. we all seen what he can do in 2007. i would love to see him retier a brown

  • I'd like to see him return to the form he had in 08 too, I have a signed ball that's going to be worth nothing on ebay otherwise.

    The guy has so much talent, If he isn't shopped then the new regime has to focus that guy with attitude coaching and a damn good supporting cast to give him no excuse but to perform. Not every one of DA's passes sucked to BE last year and we know what happened there.

    Look at his year-by-year stats.

    One of those years is not like the others. I think we could say he had an 'on' year in 2007, and returned to normal in 2008.

    Disagree. Most receivers don't hit their stride until year 3, which is when he blew up. Last year there were so many problems both on the field and off that I can hardly hold his performance against him. If he's traded then so be it, but I'd like to see him around because I know he can get it done after he sheds that mental block.

  • He will be franchised if a contract cannot be agreed upon. Take up my offer if you want.

    If next year ends up uncapped, there may be no franchising allowed. Haven't seen all the specifics yet, but I wouldn't count on the tag.

    With no cap, players will need 6 years in the league before becoming free agents. Therefore, Bray would not be a FA in an uncapped 2010.

    Not sure how that would work since he would not be under contract either.

  • He would become a restricted free agent next year if it were uncapped, and we could put a tender on him.

  • The Browns would still hold the rights to signing him. He wouldn't be able to sign with another team. An uncapped year isn't quite the free-for-all that some might assume.

    I gotta jet, but I'll try and dig up some info on it all when I get back in an hour.

    We have a guy who is known for dropping a LOT of footballs.

    Even in 2007, he dropped a lot of footballs.

    2007 is the abberation. What did we see this year? Lack of concentration, sloppy route-running, lack of effort.

    Seems just like his first few years in the league. He shouldn't be regressing in those areas at year 4.

    I stand by me assertation that 05/06/08 are representative of Edwards, not 2007.

  • True that Edwards is a sloppy route runner. I have harped on it since the day CLE drafted him. But he, just like so many good WRs can get away with it. He had 12 drops in 2007 with 80 catches. That ain't dropping a lot. Especially compared to guys like TO.

    Edwards got gator arms after getting hung out to dry to many times. If he can get that out of his head, he'll be right back to the 2007 form.

  • thats alot of confidence in a guy that thinks we dont like him for his alma mater.....
