Browns cut Phil Taylor

The Browns Board
81 35 3.7k
  • 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.

    Big 12 DTs are a joke now.

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

    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

    Players Terminated

    • 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.

    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.

    Account in one article I read yesterday was that a couple of reps of other teams said Phil was visibly favoring the repaired knee in the game tape.

    Good guess... In essence Phil bought out his contract by taking less than the guaranteed amount, but can end up making more in total, if he signs with another team.

    League minimum for a 5th year player is $745k. Seems reasonable that we saved about that much as a result of the negotiation.

  • Good luck to Phil - and Kitchen, ...Meder and Shelton are very mobile,

    and it lends versatility to the dline in terms of stunts, and both have already

    shown they can disrupt the backfield by collapsing the pocket. Just a smart move.

  • Good stuff Tour. If the Voodoo Squealers medical staff can't get Phil on the field, their is totally something up with those knees 😉

  • too bad we couldn't get anything for him. Lotta teams need a big 3-4 NT. Ah well. I think we're moving away from the 3-4 anyway, not abandoning it...but I think Pettine's gonna start up some of the same stuff he was doing in Buffalo.

    Well per MKC at Cleveland.com as of today sound like as a medical settlement we agreed to pay him the whole 5.477million. I think most of us can live on that for a year. The stadium will sellout every week as we pay these others that our no longer with us. Money to burn but where's the talent on the field to win on Sundays. This factory of " " has got to end. Rant over had to get it out. Go Browns!!
