  • You've got to stay on the field to be effective. Here's hoping the Browns' young guns on the DL stay injury free. Good luck, Phil.

    Taylor asked to be released and we granted it.

    If you don't want to play here, that makes it easy.

    Yeah that made it pretty damn easy for the front office.

  • Oh well. Danny better play like a possessed bear on the field.

  • I know it's off topic, but has anyone seen Phil Taylor and Rick Ross in the same place at the same time before?

    👍

  • Having to cut guys like Phil Taylor and Kitchen mean our team is getting much deeper in talent. In years past the guys we cut had a hard time getting jobs even outside football lol. This year a lot of our cuts will bet legit NFL jobs still.

    I hope none of them read this forum. You might wreck their confidence.

  • Good.

  • League source= Phil's agent.

    Played 5 games last year. Had two knee surgeries.

    Not a tough call with Danny here now.

    Only tough pill to shallow was not cutting him before they had to pay him... But March is before the draft. If they don't draft Danny he is still here. Oh well. Still wonder if they tried to trade him out before hand and nobody took the bait.

  • lol... gotta love a good boomerang...

    Always liked Phil over the nose. I have a feeling his lack of love for that position had something to do with this. I think he had a job here at NT, but wanted to be a DT/DE. I look for him to land on a 4-3 team.

    I did see a note in an article that we came to an injury settlement with him. Impression I got was his guaranteed money was negotiated down and we threw in the release.

    As for the roster...

    Shelton is a run-stopping upgrade... at least over the Phil of today, maybe the Phil of anyday. And since Phil was not going to be a pass-rushing NT so all that was left was a 2nd string run stuffer... not that valuable.

    AS for the wasted pick... old news... 2 FO's old to be precise.

    walter, walter, walter...

    is it going to be the first 3 weeks of negativity and then the 3 weeks of positivity or should we just call you mr. wishy washy from the get-go like we do every year?

    a concrete deal with you must be like standing in a pond of quicksand.

    That is a Wow!

    So Shelton and Meder inside?

    This was a big surprise to everyone. Meder has been playing mostly 3 tech. After releasing Kitchen and Phil I'm not sure who the backup plan is for Shelton.

    Kinda surprised they couldn't trade him for something and just told him to kick rocks

    Teams aren't going to trade for a guy if they think he will get cut. I'm not too surprised, a player's best ability is availability and Taylor wasn't available all that often. We've got Shelton, Hughes, and Meder as 1/2/3 on the NT depth chart. Should be plenty, but don't be surprised if we see additional cuts on the D-Line. I'd say one or two from Billy Winn, Dylan Wynn, Jacobbi McDaniel will be gone to get to 53.

    I couldn't agree more. I always thought Taylor was a big "ugly" guy, but his that ugliness didn't show on the field. Good luck Phil, I really hope you prove me wrong, but I have my doubts.

    Just like RGIII, another Baylor bust. No surprise though, I always thought he was soft. I would say that with Farmer and Pettine, our picks are improving. I'd like to think we're moving in the right direction.

    Well if you throw in Josh Gordon out all year, that's 3 Baylor Bears not having a great 2015. Damn we lost a hell of a goal line defense with Kitchen and Taylor in 1 day.

    Yes, I forgot about Gordon. Unfortunately, I think he wants to play for a "winner". If we can make a playoff push this year, we'll be in good position with him coming back. Otherwise, we'll see what we can get for him.

  • Sounds like the Browns will only pay the difference of what he gets paid with his new team, assuming it is less than the $5.477 million they owe him. Does that sound right or am I stockton shorting it?
