    That would be the pro equivalent of the SMU death penalty. They might as well close down the franchise rather than execute it on the rack.

    IF the Browns lost a first round pick, considering the money we would save and the high probability of a shit pick, wouldn't that actually be a GOOD thing?

    With the CBA of 2011 rookie wages are scaled back, but it could be good as you speculate.

    I hope Schefter's sources are right. Add a fine for Farmer and that's a fit punishment.

    And that's the way it should be. If I recall, Farmer has a pretty experienced right-hand man/mentor he brought over from KC.

    Bill Kuharich Executive Chief of Staff

    Bill Kuharich
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Bill Kuharich is an American professional football executive, specializing in player-personnel (i.e., evaluating and selecting players); he has also held the General Manager position. Over his career, Kuharich has been widely regarded as one the National Football League's best evaluators and accurate predictors of athletic talent. Kuharich is the son of the late Joe Kuharich, former college and NFL head coach. He attended Middlebury College graduating in 1976 with a degree in History, and received a Masters in Education from St. Lawrence University. He also attended Deerfield Academy, Malvern Prep and Waldron Academy.
    In the mid-1980s, Kuharich was Assistant General Manager/Director of Player Personnel for the Philadelphia/Baltimore Stars of the United States Football League. The team won the USFL championship two out of the three years the league existed.
    Kuharich worked in multiple capacities for the New Orleans Saints, from 1986 to 1999, as: Director of Player Personnel (1986–1993); Vice President of Football Operations (1994–1995); Executive Vice President/General Manager (1996); and, President/General Manager/Chief Operating Officer (1997–1999). During his tenure, the team acquired (eventual) Pro Bowl-grade players such as Willie Roaf, Sammy Knight, and La'Roi Glover.
    As the Kansas City Chiefs' Pro Personnel Director (2000-2005), Kuharich helped orchestrate the acquisitions of Priest Holmes, Eddie Kennison, Trent Green and (eventual NFL Hall of Famer), Willie Roaf. Kuharich was promoted to Vice-President of Player Personnel in 2006; between 2006 and 2008, they acquired standouts like Tamba Hali; Dwayne Bowe; Brandon Flowers; Jamaal Charles, and Brandon Carr. Kuharich was released by the Chiefs on April 29, 2009.
    On February 11, 2014, Kuharich was hired by the Cleveland Browns to advise first-time General Manager Ray Farmer on player-personnel. Farmer had worked under Kuharich when both were with the Chiefs.
    On May 20, 2014, Kuharich was named Executive Chief of staff by the Cleveland Browns. Kuharich plays a pivotal role in the organization's personnel's moves, including the college and pro scouting departments, serving as a key cog in all facets of the Brown' process of evaluating and acquiring talent. He will also assist GM Ray Farmer in key decisions in the team's overall strategic vision as well as decisions involving NFL league matters.[1]

    Yep, the NFL can still 'send a message' by coming down hard on the person, and not the team. Fine and suspended him, I'm good with that.

    Would a suspension mean he isn't in the war room come the draft....?

    You'd think "game suspensions", but who knows.

    If the board is set, as it will be, then a draft day suspension should not affect the picking, but I'd think the deal making impact would be significant.

    Seems odd - either the suspension is for the draft, which would be massively heavy-handed; or it's a stadium ban for a few games, which seems very light.
