Jim Brown got it wrong.. He's less than ordinary!

DieHardBrownsFan

I remember when Jim Brown initially said it, there was an outcry against him. Turned out he was being generous to him by calling him ordinary.

miktoxic

for people to even entertain the thought of him coming back here is beyond me.

Old news, old FOs...

The potential, yes, potential, 1st round misses in 2014 are hovering, but everything else the FO did in 2014's draft and FA was damn good.

This year the disappointed decry our reluctance to shell out money hand over fist. Many are likely the same folks that said Haslam order the drafting of JM so he could sell jerseys. Where they see reluctance I see fiscal restraint.

And McGahee was an emergency signing in late Septmeber. Not a lot of prime, FA RBs waiting by the phone in late Sept. So there's that...

Yeah, I don't disagree there. The team has seemingly had good luck with later round picks, but the point is you can't miss that badly in the first round especially when you got more than one pick. Thinking about the 2012 first round draft is straight up pathetic. We could have thrown darts at a board and gotten better players.

Trent signing with Oakland lol, of course, who else. . .

Seriously, though Mik, Richardson coming back to run for the New Cleveland Browns F.O.

- would that not be redemption if he produced?

I was only slightly kidding about Colt. I'd love to have him back to mentor Manziel. I think Colt is very smart, and even a better QB than McCown. You seriously telling me you wouldn't consider this?

In a word- no.

I would bring him back, for sure.

There has to be a peanut vendor who needs to be replaced.

Oakland will show again why they're always at the bottom of the AFC West. I'm totally shocked they gave him more than vet minimum, and if they guaranteed any of that contract- they're out of their minds. Pure desperation- no Jones-Drew & McFadden. There's several RBs in the current draft with more potential than Richardson, who IMHO has none.

Raider nation don't eat nothing but greasy home fries for breakfast.....why do you think they would eat him up.....when that team has been full of nothing but a bunch of TRs for the past decade.

While I enjoy their antics, they are perhaps the most overrated fan base in the league (or 2d most overrated behind Pittsburgh). Isn't their stadium only usually about half full. (which is what Pittsburgh's would be if they had the Raider's record that same decade)?

Mudfly

eh...to me, he just doesn't fit the Raider mold.....except he's a bad player who they signed for too much....but still not a raider type

I saw him landing in Miami or Dallas or Philly maybe......(and on the cheap too)

Tour2ma

Does this mean TR won't be at the FA Combine?

Wow. He basically quit on Indy and they made him 4th string by the end of the season. And Oakland pays him $4 Mil? OK.

That is not Vet minimum.$1.5 million was all he's worth, that's vet minimum for TR. Seriously overpaid for the bum.

If you can't do better than 3.3 ypc with a qb like Andrew Luck to take the pressure off, and get demoted behind the likes of Bradshaw and Herron- who both posted better ypc - you SUCK.

I've seen enough to realize the guy has no field vision, no burst, and no breakaway gear.

Now maybe the Browns can resign him.....and see if they can get something out of their former 1st round pick.

Hey....I would be willing to throw him in with the wolves and see if he could do something.

(but...in reality...what a waste....pathetic turn of events for him)

Can you say "Canada"?

Can you say Cannibus?

Unsympathetic

In a just world, this signing would cost the Raiders GM his job. The money given is irresponsible and stupid.

The risk is that Richardson will poison the team lockerroom due to his apathy and suckitude.

It's a move without risk for Oakland, they have to spend money and there aren't many worthy players still out there in FA, might as well pay Richardson 2M. It's not like they're gonna win many more games this year.

And to think the Browns could have had Poe, Kuechly, Cox or even Tannehill... but no, they also gave up a 4th, 5th and 7th...

Clevfan4life

I don't think there's a big chance of Trich "poisoning" the Oak lockerroom..he's not that kind of guy. I just don't see what they see in him to give him a contract. He can't run, block, catch etc, etc. Just mystified.
