    I don't know. I think the Franchise might be the way to go.

    If we transition him, he goes out and seeks a deal. If we end up matching it, we can't use the transition tag again until his contract is up. I am not so sure I would want to use that at this time.

    Yeah the non-exclusive franchise tag would provide compensation and a team would have to deal knowing if the Browns don't match they are giving up picks.

    Which means no team is going to make an offer.

    TP on a big contract or two 1st-round picks? Not a tough choice...

    So you get Pryor at the traditional franchise tag price and hopefully it sends a message that the market for him may not be as great as he thinks.

    Pryor and Gordon go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly.

    HA! Pryor and Gordon go together like a Pyromaniac and a box of matches or Johnny Manziel and alcohol. Something is going bye bye...

    This just in. It's 2017 and Gordon hasn't scored a TD since 2013...

    That's ok Gordon will be awesome along with Richardson and Manziel. They are all going to come back and lead the Browns to the promised land.

    and then PG woke up all sticky....

    ....but that's only on the FIELD, Tom. NOT in the eyes of his loyal followers! How many more years of inactivity before he qualifies for the HOF?

    Terrel Pryor at all costs.

    He is a great example and role model to a player like Josh Gordon.

    Both together would be an amazing to watch! Plus, a speedster like Coleman added to Gordon and Pryor would make it nearly impossible to stop.

    Pryor and Gordon go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly.

    Throw in Trent and you could have a free for all you fucking faggot.

    I see you haven't gotten any more intelligent since we used to spar....

    Btw, I still feel bad for you man.

    Well, let's see. The article in the link below indicates Cleveland has the most cap room in the NFL in an amount of $50.123 million. Understanding that, why should I panic we gave a young corner that was one of the most reliable tacklers in our defense the contract he deserved at the time? When he had better Safeties and a younger Corner opposite him - we saw what he could do in spite of a mediocre pass rush.

    What PFF probably doesn't consider is how crappy our run defense was the last 2 years while a pass rush has been MIA. Again, when we couldn't put a pass rush on John Elway - Dixon and Minnifield had some of their worst games. Now imagine if they had that same circumstance all season while they were also playing hurt - do we really need Pro Football Focus to tell us how that would handcuff their ability to succeed? Let's add the best edge rusher in this draft and some better help in the secondary via free agency and the draft before we race to conclusions about Haden.

    Unfortunately I fear the Browns, due to poor record and history, are going to have to overpay established free agents. I think we all hope in the next 2 or 3 years the Browns might be one or two pieces away from really good and I'd hate to see a limited ability to bring in current talent because we are paying Haden & Pryor.

    Agreed it's good to be cautious- but we do have more cap room than anyone. I'm sure Rosenhaus will bring that up. OTOH the Steelers went all in with those huge contracts on their books with Bell, Brown, and Rothlisberger.

    LOL, or Social Security? Whoops, you need 40 quarters to qualify. 🙂

  • Where are we actually at with this now, deadline to tag him is today I believe?

  • IMO, The Committee doesn't like him...because he opens his mouth and criticizes them for getting the QB's killed.

    They criticize him for being right? Letting the Schwartz go. Letting Mack go (they could have franchise tagged him Bito getting injured, the drafting of awful Cam Erving. Only the first two matters are on the hands of this FO.

    Yes, I wondered about that....who is on this committee? Sachi, Berry, Hue....the DC/OC....other personell/scout people...and of course, ultimately, Jimmy Haslam?

  • So...if the Browns Franchise Tagged Pryor it would have to be for 15.6 mill per year. But, according to this, if they Transition tag him, it would still cost them 13.1 Mill per year. But other teams could sign him to an offer sheet that the Browns have the right to match.

    Would you Transition him for 13.1 mill?

  • Sashi saying today that if Pryor doesn't return they wont panic. FUCK THAT, are we EVER going to keep anyone

  • Just posturing.

  • Why would we "panic"?

    Well as of this writing this is officially a moot point. I feel pretty confident is us re-signing him at the moment, but we shall see how it all breaks down.

    Yep. Apparently no tag of any sort put on TP.

    That's our group of Harvard decision makers.....and Hue, the football guy. His opinion is supposed to have 'some' merit also.

    Call them the Inner Circle if you like. The Analytic Associates. Or a favorite of mine, The Geek Squad.
