    Wow. #Steelers release CB Justin Gilbert. Remember: the Browns made him the 8th overall pick less than three years ago.

    Amen, Joe...

        Speaking of Joe, he weighed in on the Steelers cutting Justin Gilbert. Just like we always he suspected Joe says he "doesn't like football"

        Sashi fleeced the Steelers for a sixth.

        How bout all those tackles Mingo was making yesterday? There's a fifth.

        Carolina's old, injured, punter ... There's a fourth.

        Currency, currency, currency ... The cashing in begins in less than three months ...

        Does anyone expect Mingo to be retained by the Pats?

          I'd think leadership council is more of an advisory committee than anything. These players have a small bit of inside knowledge that maybe, just maybe, these coaches aren't privy to. Could just be water cooler talk at NFLPA meetings or the Pro Bowl or what have you, but there's no doubt instances of top, influential players on different teams talking between themselves.

          I think it's a good thing the players are involved to some extent. After all, they're the ones who would have to play alongside these FA and draft acquisitions.

          Sure... but involvement with the FO is new AFAIK. Bringing grievances to the HC is one thing, but personnel input?

          Asking about personality fits is certainly fitting. I can also see asking opinions about the skills a potential FA might bring...

              This Leadership Council thing goes back to the previous regime. They used to talk about it a bit on CBD. I think Pettine started it.

                Top 10 Browns bust, top 50 all time NFL. His contract had $12 million guaranteed. Nice retirement payout. But will he be broke by the time he's 30?

                    well, finally, we have a Browns org that knows better than to draft

                    players who have partying, smoking dope, and all at the top of their

                    list, and playing football at the bottom.

                    All those failed draft picks, when all they had to do was look at the

                    players' love for the game, work ethic and character.

                    too bad.
