    Yesterday I would have called bullshit if somebody tweeted that we were going to dump 4 good to excellent starters....

    They did a bang up job. Maybe with another player of their caliber the Browns could have pushed it to 4 wins.

  • As far as I am aware, they negotiated with all four of them. Two walked for less money. Not much the front office can do at that point.

  • I think "dump" is an unfair term.....feels more like those players dumped us....

    One, Mack, left for 250k less money. Let's try to stick to the facts we have available

    So Mack left for less money then or are we debating what "less" means?

    I was led to believe Schwartz did as well. If I am off, I apologize.

    I was led to believe the same....and thats what local reporters have been reporting all day.....could be speculation, but that was the reason given for pulling his offr/////because we offered the highest price, then he "supposedly" wanted to go back and negotiate more with anoher team.....and that prompted the Browns to pull the offer so they wouldnt be "used" for his negotiations elsewhere....

    heresay, I know.....bt I believe it was a quality leak to local reporters.....

  • If we are planning on a couple of bad seasons and really starting from scratch then I actually would endorse the Ghoolie plan re: Joe Thomas. Please don't stone me.

    Honestly, it wouldn't be bad if that is their intended goal. I wouldn't be shocked to see it on draft day. Farmer tried it before the deadline with the Broncos.

    The Ghoolie theory "offensive line are dime a dozen" is apparently going to be put to the test.....

    The Browns offering 7.5$ million and pulling the offer does not equate to Schwartz signing for less by getting $6 million. He wasn't choosing between 7.5 and 6

    OK, his agent was. 🙂 If it was all about $$$ Schwartz should fire his agent for poor negotiating.....

    agree there. But we don't know how much guaranteed and how much total Browns offered

    Yeah, the supply is not quite that high, but I think OL replaceability is higher than people think.

  • The analytical approach in progress. WTF makes Haslam think this will keep the fans interested? I know we're stupid and just a large group of losers, blindly following our team with some stupid loyalty that was forged 50 years ago, but come on....what is the plan here....really? It's looking more like the plan is to cut costs to the penny, and make as much as possible off the fans as long as possible, then dump what's left of this so called NFL franchise. I really don't care about losing the players we lost, if we were active in free agency. I haven't seen anything to give us any kind of hope that there is a plan to build anything here....other than a new mansion for Haslam. Screw this guy! All he has done is succeeded in making a pathetic franchise worse than we could have imagined.
