      You guys wouldn't trade Johnny for Greg Hardy? An elite talent? Y'all serious? Ridiculous.

      I'm surprised we cut Starks. Good player. Certainly thought we had worse on the DL. I know, I know, he got that one critical taunting penalty. God forbid. Like no good player has ever done that.

      Farmer still winning the battle versus Pettine on Bowe so far.

        Bows similar to manziel right, guaranteed money for next season that means we can't cut until March?

            Why trade one problem child for an extreme problem child? The Cowboys grew tired of his bullshit and they put up with Dez.

              To be fair, one of those problem children has at least proven himself on the field.

                not a choir boy league anymore. heads & knees our optional. a few nasty boys would not hurt around this field. Garrett for all his misery with Hardy would love Hardy's move to a loser like Cleveland in draft. Ask our division rivals. I love this move & Hue wants to win. Lets see what it takes?

                  I guess they watched film this week.

                  Dray was awful last year and Starks doesn't have much left in the tank.

                  Bowe is like manziel, guaranteed money, so we have to wait until March 8th to high five each other and toast Mike Pettine.

                    He has also proven himself to be a complete loon and a locker room cancer. Johnny was a distraction but it seems like Hardy actively tries to shit on locker room chemistry.

                        Jackson was the OC. I would think it would be up to Lewis or the Bengals DC to talk about a linebacker.

                          i know logic, but still part of the system. they all sink or swim together.....browns should know, still paying how many coaches/coordinators and FO personnel from how many years ago?

                            Dray continuously got picked on for his blocking inadequacies last year, and he doesn't provide much as a receiving target, so it makes sense that he goes. Starks was probably serviceable, but his veteran status eats up unnecessary cap room, so see ya later. I'm not a blocking expert, but Dray's inability to routinely make blocks hurt our running game, and I heard multiple times last year "we need a dedicated blocking TE." Hopefully we can find that in free agency.

                            Bowe is definitely next, and his situation pretty much sealed Farmer's fate. I mean, that kind of money for virtually no production is unheard of in the NFL. You might see it in the MLB, or even NBA, but nobody gets that kind of money in the NFL for next to nothing delivered on the field. The ONLY question regarding Bowe is, was his lack of playing time due to diminished skills, or was it because Pettine wanted to stick it to Ray? We heard all season about the tension between the two men, and there were several times during the season where Bowe would've been useful. Even if he just ran down the field and STOOD there.

                            I'm also not sold on our RB's, and I don't think our new coach is either. I'm not saying we're going to cut Duke or Crow, not at all, but it wouldn't surprise me to see a proven free agent arrive in town. Hue has publicly stated how excited he is about our RB's, but I'm not so sure.

                                    I believe those are the Unrestricted Free Agents.

Hue has publicly stated how excited he is about our RB's, but I'm not so sure.

                                      Hue also brought in Terrell Watson from the Bengals PS as soon as he showed up in Cleveland.

                                        I believe those are the Unrestricted Free Agents.

                                        FAs... Mix of U and R with a couple of ERs thrown in for good measure. But all our "big" names are UFAs.

                                          You guys wouldn't trade Johnny for Greg Hardy? An elite talent? Y'all serious? Ridiculous.

                                          I'm surprised we cut Starks. Good player. Certainly thought we had worse on the DL. I know, I know, he got that one critical taunting penalty. God forbid. Like no good player has ever done that.

                                          Farmer still winning the battle versus Pettine on Bowe so far.

                                          Why trade one problem child for an extreme problem child? The Cowboys grew tired of his bullshit and they put up with Dez.

                                          So much for the whole "if Johnny were actually good we wouldn't care about his problems" argument then, I suppose.

                                          The Cowboys are also stacked and can add a top 5 pick in every round.
