Folks, we have a plan

The Browns Board
59 19 2.2k
  • We lost the best players that got us to 3-13 and kept the rest

  • rather have players who want to play here, and aren't in it for just the giant

    payday as a free agent.

  • It's not a good free agent year. Ya their are some top tier players that were available but look who they went to. Jags? Giants? Raiders? Prff. They're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

    There's crazy money out there this year for a down year meaning some bonehead contracts will happen. I say make plenty of moves for depth on the lines.

    Also if you want to go out and get a wr go for Wallace.

  • I am super bummed that we lost the dynamic players who got the Browns to 3-13.

    If I were to guess, they are placing a higher value on the compensatory picks that will come of this than the players. This is a true rebuild.

    no, cmon, not another rebuild...naw....phffffft...what a fucking franchise...they say the 2 most embarrasing pro franchises the last 15-20 yrs or so are the sacramento kings and yes folks, the ole cleveland clowns....

    I just cannot wait for Sashi's next press conference ....

    He's got some splanin' to do.

    "I have a plan"

  • Reminiscent of the 90-91 Indians.

    Blew up team to put money into farm system.

    End result worked, but those were some tough seasons to live through.

  • My opinion... if a player wants to play other teams against the Browns in negotiations,

    then those players won't get a patsy in that process.

    Bitonio, Joe Thomas....are the kind of guys who don't play that crap.

    You can always just pout about it or accept that this is an actual rebuild where the front office seems focused on building through the draft. The old strategy of being a retirement plan for aging players doesn't seem to jive with the new front office.

    Hell, even with them blowing up the franchise they will likely still win more than 3 games.

    Aging players? Go look at the ages of the guys who walked.

    I'm sooooo excited we re-signed that key Special teams ace Tank Carder. NOT!

    I guess the bright side of this is with all the departures, the Browns have to have the most Cap space in the NFL- plus a bunch of compensatory picks coming. (we just traded Mack for a likely comp 3rd). We might even be under that Cap floor- which to my mind means we're going to be stuck overpaying for second tier garbage. Hey Ghoolie, maybe if we pay Joe Thomas $20 million- that will take care of that problem, LOL.

    Unless we pick up a few FA OL, drafting Goff or Wentz is suicidal- shades of '99 with Couch.

    Corgnac- next some single malt Laphroig to ease the pain and realization, we're diving for the basement. Sashi- you screwed to pooch day one. Got anything better up your sleeve? 🙂

    More a reference to Dansby, Whitner, Bowe, Williams, Starks, McCown,etc.

    The only free agent who walked that I have concern about was Schwartz.

    you can rebuild while still keeping your blue chip RT and FSs who are still in their mid-20s

    BAD MOVE

    They did not get better by losing both of them on 5-7$ mil/per year deals. Those are fair market prices, not overpriced, and thems are facts

    I am not concerned about Gipson. Schwartz? Sure but he accepted less money to leave. Can't really negotiate with that.

    So Camps Goff and Wentz can start dousing the campfires.

    Gipson was the only consistent DB on team over last three years. You're right, no loss there

    Yeah he totally blew everyone's hair back last year with his play. I am still not blubbering over his exit.
