Benjamin to sign.....Mack out then in ?
-
Shefter reporting that Mack opting out, but "a new deal in Cleveland is a real possibility" makes me a LITTLE excited. For some reason, I have a difficult time believing this, but who knows? If we somehow keep Mack, Thomas, AND Scwartz? Man...
And it appears that Benji is all but signed, but I'd still like to see it get done. I'm probably grasping at straws, but if we can somehow get Sanu, and it's been reported that we want him, then our WR's could look completely different. And by different...I mean GOOD. To be honest, I'm a little concerned about Josh Gordon. I haven't read any statements by any of our coaches that indicate Gordon is coming back, but there is a good chance our coaches have been instructed NOT to comment on him at all. I have to believe that all our coaches are secretly praying every day that Gordon is coming back. He's THAT important. Gordon opens things up for both Barnidge and Benji, but also our running game as well. Gordon would probably be the only player on our roster that would scare opposing defenses. Cmon Josh...

As far as Mack is concerned I'll be happy to have him if he is all in and returns to form.
Paying top dollar to a second tier performer whose only interest in the game is the paycheck really doesn't appeal to me.

Article is out saying we haven't pursued Gip very hard...

RE: Mack ?? Raise + more guaranteed money maybe?
Sure, but renegotiation does not require separation.
Extensions and restructures are announced any and all the time. There are no restrictions on talking to players under contract.
we weakened the biggest long-term-division-threat by taking Hawk...
lol...

Doesn't LeBron James do that almost every year? Out out and resign?
This really would belong on the Cavs board, but I'll explain....... The NBA salary cap is going up for the next season WAY up. Reason why there wasn't much major player movement at the trade deadline, and teams are clearing cap space like mad. LeBron's next one year deal is going to have a significant raise. LBJ is a totally different case than Mack- he can call his own shots. A superstar basketball player affects win-loss way more than any football player ever could. The Cavs and Warriors would nose dive without James or Curry. LeBron is rapidly approaching GOAT status, and if not there, he's certainly getting into the conversation. If he keeps putting up points at anywhere near his current rate, he'll pass Kareem in around 6 seasons. + Him and Oscar Robertson are the only players in the top 20 in both points & assists. Just MHO, he's more versatile than Jordan, but he'll never catch him in titles. Kevin Durant is a UFA after this season, and it's going to cost a team the Moon to sign him.

Should we be surprised? Our analytics guys analyzed, and came to the conclusion Benji was asking too much.

that will very much suck if we lose him to the Oakland Raiders. Carr was my 2014 QB preference, if i'm the Raiders FO i'm definitely listening to my franchise QB's reasonable requests....
Sashi you low-balling motherfucker...

Again, If Haslem had Sashi in his pocket as GM. Farmer needed to be fired after 11-15-15 week 10 @ Shitsburg going into our bye the following week. That leaves 7 weeks to get Mack, Schwartz & Benji possibly locked up in 2015. Instead we follow the same pattern of Ward, Skrine, & Sheard. All young prime targets in FA's, get FA ranking & $ evaluations & here we are. Of course it's all about money at this point.. There's always next year
.. -
Ward, Sheard, Skrine, Cameron, Mack, Schwartz, Gipson, Benjamin - there's a list of legitimately decent-to-great players that we've let walk or are in the process of letting walk.
It's fine to say we're building through the draft, and it's the right way to go, but you've got to then keep the players you draft and develop.

Well that's promising.
So after the next couple 3 and 13 seasons somebody can stand at the podium and hold up a ratty old Texas Instruments handheld calculator and blame it.

Well it's obvious then. This is really a bid to form a new company called Cleveland Instruments in which all products are guaranteed to miscalculate every time. Millions will be bought and given to people for birthday and Xmas gag gifts with colors of orange and brown. I'd buy.

Sorry, but not going to lose much sleep if we lose Benji. Like him as a #2/#3 WR, but how many times have you ever seen a reception of his and said, "Wow, what a catch?".
Will miss his punt return contributions, but for every nice return there's been two or more "why did he not field that?" moments.

... or his brother's? Methinks you thinks of Derek...
When did David become a talking head?

Looking like our FO is willing to let players test the market.
If we've treated the players well, and if Sashi is as respected by Agents as we were led to believe when he was promoted, then we should fair well... and not overpay.

And look how well it worked (for other teams). Do the Broncos need to help another Brown get a Superbowl ring?
