  • all well and good riff until it's said player that turns out to be all-pro on another team and it will be people like you that question why he was cut.

    thankfully when all is said and done given how bad our first round picks have been since '99 we haven't had to worry about that. they've just all sucked ass.

    He can have a HOFer career from here on out and I won't bitch about the decision to let him go.

    Fat dudes with bad knees and work ethic/entitlement issues generally don't go on to do much else though. He is/was highly overrated by a lot of our fans including myself -- but not anymore.

    This is what good teams do. Cut the dead weight losses and move on. We have some good guys on the dline.

    That is a complete generalization. Gerald McCoy is Big 12...and one of the best.

  • Who do we think is going to pick him up? Would it surprise anyone if the Steelers or Ravens went after him?

    I hope they do. Then they will find out just like we did when he's not able to stay on the field.

    wouldnt surprise me.....both need serious help on the defense.....especially the stools who are allowing like 207 pts a game so far...

    • NT Phil Taylor - This is a pretty big stunner, as it seemed like the team could use him in a limited backup role this season to split reps with rookie NT Danny Shelton. It would also seem that this locks up a roster spot for NT Jamie Meder, who has had an impressive past couple of weeks as a backup.

      Taylor won't be out any money, as his $5.477 million contract this year is fully guaranteed. There is no offset language on the contract, so Taylor will be able to double dip with whatever team he signs with next.
  • i wish all the pundits that hate the brown's draft had a solution BEFORE the draft. most people loved all these picks (even on this board) and then when they turned out to be DOO DOO they all look for someone to blame.

    my thought is to trade away all our first rounders from here on out so that way no one can boo hoo anything anymore.

    bunch of bitches.

    GREAT post. Grossi's article is so predictable.

    It's gotten worse by the year and he's been out for going on 6 of them. It's a generally accurate generalization.

  • I'm not really digging this cut but will stick with the trust da staff philosophy. For now.

  • Couple Vets out . . . (needed) House Cleaning ?

    Will not be surprised to see some other Vets moved out, I still think there's a Cancer in this Team somewhere

    Is this accurate? If so, brutal.

    Have to think there would have been a better option than simply flushing this money down the toilet.

    NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Cleveland reached an injury settlement with the lineman, who was due a guaranteed $5.477 million this season.

    So if there was "no offset language" in this extension the "WAS"^^^ due is now making this clear as a Mud Hole

    lol, yep.

    I guess we probably don't know what he settled for, but whatever he did settle for, he can still get paid by someone else no matter what.

    He might have settled for what he was guaranteed, or it could have been less,, which is my guess.

  • Stories out Big Phil visits Squealers yesterday and from their reports Big Phil needs more knee surgery. More teams lined up but this is making more sense if there was a medical settlement made off his 5.477? Take the time to get it right, Phil your a couple million to the good in the 2015 season already.
