    Rumor is that the Browns may have pulled the offer to Schwartz because they have their eye on a different ROT that would actually be a better deal for them....analytics wise. (maybe one of the guys listed above?)

    So, e.g., they may feel they can get a guy just about as good as Schwartz for a couple of million or so per year less.

    Why are we so concerned with saving a couple million dollars when we have like 40 million in cap space. What exactly are we saving this money for?

    Blockbuster Day 2 signing frenzy???

    and who are the people that were praising the firing of the last regime and are now befuddled with what's happening in the FO now?

    geez. and some thought we'd just magically jump to 10 and 6 with the hiring of an 8 and 8 head coach and some brainiac suits.

    No one thinks that.

    Adhering to the "build through the draft and maintain your core players" mantra is what some are upset about, Schwartz was a key young player. Thanks.

    I was saying people have been harping on that, and are upset because the Browns are shedding their core guys -- all young, except Mack.

  • Gotta keep your 3-13 core guys for sure.

    Yeah - Ron Yary.

    I like the sarcasm but the two highest paid players are a 31 year old LT and a concussion prone DB at $24 million. If "blowing this up" was truly what this is all about people better not get upset when Thomas gets moved for a 6th rounder on draft day.

    Haden has one of the most inflated, bad contracts in the NFL. Hasn't been a top 5 corner (or even sniffed that territory) in 2 years since he signed it.

    If anyone needs to go, it's him next.

    Gotta think the guaranteed money makes him impossible to trade. Don't think the Browns will cut him.

    Going by these numbers, it's entirely possible that the Browns' rumored offer was more lucrative than the one he eventually signed for.

    And even if it wasn't, am I the only one that would have been completely fine with these terms?

    I know, I know. I have to have patience.

    But if we're bringing in a rookie QB, we need to be able to protect him. And in my opinion, letting Schwartz go for a little over $6M/yr is... sloppy.

  • I guess the difference was the guaranteed money. I hope the teams that our fa's go to

    lose plenty of games, especially to the Browns. We'll see how it goes.

    Nope... already posted that a 3-yr, $7.5mm average with 60% guaranteed was fine by me and if 5-yr, then $8mm and 50% was OK. Would have put Mitch solidly atop the RT pay scale... a position he earned.

    Plus when there is no injury history or work ethic concerns, you pay up front... a schedule which would also fit with a rookie QB deal.

  • if players want to go to a winning team, they would go for

    $1 more...or less.
