Nick Mangold released
-
As long as he's still physically alright, we might as well go for it.

WTF? I hope someone from Berea is on a plane ready to blow him. Screw analytics! We need this guy ASAP to groom one in the draft.

He doesn't fit the FO model. 10 year player, hard to say if the Jets released him because they think he's washed up. He's probably better than Camshaft, but that may not be saying much.
Most likely scenario is he sits on the couch until a team loses a starting center.

Nick turned 33 in Jan, about 5.6M/yr.-Neck Stinger Oct of 15. Bad Knee Oct of 16 the knock out punch was a bad Ankle Nov. of 16. He blew Danny to pieces when we played them in NY(Danny Said So) & still would bet he's the best C on our roster with all 3 injuries combined..Pay the Centerville,OH. Man..2 years..(last run to ring,not here fellas,but..)

he hasn't allowed a sack in 33 straight games. If he doesn't fit the model change the model. Sometimes you need a piece outside the model to make the rest work well. This is a guy who might keep a QB who "fits the model" alive. He won't be on the couch very long at all unless he does have a career threatening injury.He doesn't fit the FO model. 10 year player, hard to say if the Jets released him because they think he's washed up.

I am sure Mangold will be trying to go to a playoff team in need of a Center at the end of his career.
-
i'd sign his sister to start on our line, at this point why not?
-
I was wondering how many posts until we mentioned his sister
-
I want to get one of those fathead poster of that picture for my man cave.

I'd probably do his sister if it would get him to sign here!! lol that's saying a lot considering I don't drink!i'd sign his sister to start on our line, at this point why not?

Would make our offense pretty good right away, but won't be here once the build is done. I kinda prefer another year of high draft picks than a guy that adds 2-4 wins in one year.

You never know on that many Ohio born or former OHIO STATE players return to the BROWNS once they're basically physically shot or just unwanted elsewhere for some big easy paychecks.
Let's see, from memory :
T. Pryor, Stabline, Whitner, I'm sure there are lots more.....

Couldnt agree more.....any "model" that doesnt include experience and leadership bites.....
It s been pretty clear all along that I think this model is flawed.....The fo states that their goal is sustained success....
You canT achieve sustained success(in the NFL) with only youth....think of the properly operating team as a conveyor....2 get on at the beginning, while 2 fall off the other end.....and, as long as you "properly" feed the machine, it sustains......
But if you throw 30 onto the conveyor, all at once.....then watch all 30 fall off the other end....
Payrolls and standard evolution of any quality team means you need diversity across the board(in age and experience and cost) and that is achieved by having the proper mix of players.....which includes affordable, skilled, experienced vets that only bring you a year or 2, but are invaluable to maintaining a balance, filling gaps and aiding the development of the kids....
The list of old vets that have stepped in and served WELL, for a limited time is miles long......both on the Browns and on most NFL championship teams........and the sooner this FO realizes it, the better too....

LMAO! But I agree with your intrigue here. We got some really good football out of Hank Fraley when he was 2-3 years older than Mangold is today. At the very least, he could buy some time for the previous upgrade we found at Center (currently rehabbing his knee) Austin Reiter.
It would be nice if we didn't have to dick around in this draft looking for another Center.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -
"Developmental Center" is a thing now?
I've loved Nick, but 11 seasons have taken their toll. I hope he lands with a contender.

Austin Reiter played one game(almost).....how is everyone so sure this guy is our next center.....???
Besides, well be dicking around drafting "edge" at #1, even though we tapped the top 2??? sackers last year, eh?
And we're still needing a QB, WR, OT, OLB, SS & TE too .....even though we just.....oh, never mind....

Woulda looked pretty good in 2016, dont ya think?......maybe could have saved a few games(and QB's).....
Sometimes an old guy off the bench is just what the doctor ordered......developmental?....or "save the day"
-
I could argue that we've had a developmental Center on the roster since we drafted Cam and that he could fill that slot for years to come...
I think between Reiter and Fabs we have adequate depth at Center and one that one of them will emerge as a more than adequate starter.
Then there's always John...
As I said, I've always liked Nick... still do.

Well, I hope to hell that you guys are right.....
Because I dont want to burn another pick on center......and I sure as hell dont want a repeat of last year......a year that we had Erving, John and Reiter.....yet OC was a joke....a revolving door.....considered our biggest problem....
So....our biggest problem is now corrected by just waiting a few months and not doing anything else?....
hmmmmm, Im not convinced....
-
since he was released, can't we just put in a claim and pay his 2017 salary? Forget signing as a free agent?
