    So we have two rbs, including a rookie who has been injured all camp. And two QBs, including one that can't throw a football.

    What could possibly go wrong?

      Didn't we trade up for West? If my memory is correct and we did, that adds even more insult to injury.

        Just a few days ago I said West was another Richardson Good Riddance but only a seventh round pick adds up to almost nothing.

        And Thad Lewis Good Riddance

        DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

                If it makes it seems any better, we essentially swapped West for Andy Lee..

                I'd call that a win.

                    Oh well on west. I don't think we're going to pick up rice but if we do so be it. It wouldn't be the first time we relied on a washed up ex raven at running back

                          Grossing says rice is never going to happen- my bet is that it will. No way the Browns don't go after him or Jonas Gray at this point. The writing is on the wall.

                            Exactly- you have The Crow, a guy on concussion protocol, and a practice squad guy. Crowell gets hurt, and we're up shit creek @ RB.

                              Free agent RB Ahmad Bradshaw's fractured leg is "completely healed."



                              Bradshaw is suspended for Week 1 after pleading no contest to misdemeanor marijuana possession in May, however. If Bradshaw is going to get signed, it probably won't happen until after the opener, when vested veterans get their base salaries guaranteed. We would guess that Bradshaw does land with a team at some point. He is injury riddled, but still effective at age 29.

                                West being elsewhere= addition by subtraction, I don't care WHAT they got for him. I would have been fine if they had cut him.

                                  if pet had enough of his whining cutting him would have been a better option. If we were going to deal him, the day was Saturday with Dallas & Houston. Instead we pissed on him Saturday than had to flush him Sunday. If we don't deal on Grey, Ball, Rice or Bradshaw again this "great" OL can't run the ball too. Hope good news on JM & Duke will make this day go away..

                                      Aside from the fractured leg, Bradshaw has chronically dealt with really bad feet. This has kept him from practicing and a full work load in the past. Even though he's a bad ass; we're probably only looking at a fraction of the player he was.

                                      Jonas Gray intrigues me. Maybe BB/NE preferring an oft-troubled LeGarrette Blount gives this kid the kick in the dumpster he needs to giddyup and get after it. Pro Football Weekly Preview 2015 listed Jonas Gray as NE's Offensive breakout player. FWIW, Blount walked out on his last team (Pitt) at halftime on MNF here in Nashville not too long after he got arrested for marijuana possession. BB forgave that so Blount could be his workhorse in the playoffs. If a guy like that could get 2nd and 3rd chances - it might not hurt to have Pettine give Gray a 2nd chance.

                                        People forget so quickly. Farmer trading up and getting West in round 3 was universally accepted as a coup by the draft community.

                                        As Higdon pointed out, it's insane they didn't know or care about his work ethic and personality problems considering they had a former Towson coach on their staff.
