    Awww is it really that bad? lol

    If you ask me Furrey is possibly just camp depth just like McDonald is for us. He's definitely flashed some value, especially in the slot if I remember. Edwards, Patten and Robiskie will be your starters if you ask me. The great thing about Robiskie is he's such a student of the game and so polished he should be able to contribute immediately. I honestly wouldn't have minded had the Steelers drafted him in round 1.

    Furrey will push the rooks.

    I believe you started the whole argument. Maybe you aren't getting enough sunlight because those houses no one else can qualify for are blocking it from you.

    To be perfectly honest, it doesnt have much to do with football at all. Ive met a lot of people from Pittsburgh. It is a shitty town with shitty suburbs. At least Cleveland has nice areas and development. Pittsburgh is the new armpit of America, right next to Jersey.

    Maybe that contributes to the absence of any kind of intelligent thought by your fan base. If you grew up in Pittsburgh, chances are you're borderline Retarded.

    And re-emphasized so it sinks in... Just because your team has won more RECENTLY does not mean you are smarter or more knowledgeable about football. Especially because that is so far from the truth it isn't even funny. There are maybe 2 Steeler fans on here I've actually nodded and agreed with... maybe 5 ever that ive ever talked to.

    Face it, your city is terrible. Take your howlier than thou attitude and head back to meth/crack USA and worship your super bowl trophy. It's all you have after all.

    i live in the Burgh. just a couple corrections for you mike: it's not meth/crack usa, but dope ("hare-on") is on the up and bud has always been a huge staple here.

    their city is beautiful, got to give them their due, but the women are husky. and i mean ALL OF EM!! thank the heaven's i imported mine in.

    i've worked with countless co-workers over the years, nearly all of them steel fans, and I knew as much about football and their team as they did, and on the average usually more. take that however you want.

    on a 10 minute drive to Robinson Mall today i counted no less than 5 vehicles with the Steel's proprietary mudflaps, and all of them looked brand spankin' new. it kinda made me sick. do you know how hard it is to keep mudflaps looking that virgin? they all had to be straight out of the package. it had me wondering how many of those same folks would be sportin' Brownie flaps, if the shoe were on another foot.

    I was home over Easter and didn't get a chance to make it downtown. However a friend told me they have a huge transformer downtown made out of bridge parts. You should check it out if you haven't already. I just checked it out on google. Where do you live?

    For what it is worth - my buddy said that Mike is in Cleveland now and that an announcement should come today or tomorrow.

    Number 88 right now - but wants to see what numbers become available after cuts

    that's a good one that hasn't been shown any love in the new era. i hope he keeps it, bout time someone dusted off Langy's gear.

    Snatch, check your pm.

    Really, the big elements for most non-amazing WRs is health, opportunity, looks, and the quarterback.

    Can Mike Furrey be a 98 catch, 1,000 yard receiver? Sure. He's done it. Does that mean he'll be that for the Browns?

    Sure. If he's healthy, he plays, and we throw at him accurately.

    Not sure that the stats Furrey put up three years ago under his patron, Mike Martz, are an accurate reflection of what we'd get out of a him. If teams thought the guy was capable of matching those stats, he wouldn't still be on the FA market.

    In '06, Furrey was targeted 146 times, more than Braylon was thrown to last year. No way we're going to give him that many targets, especially when we've got an offense that actually runs the ball and some young receivers who should be on the field. After all, the Lions went 3-13 during Furrey's great season, which led to Martz & the Lions drafting an elite receiving prospect who'd push Furrey to the slot.

    Wouldn't mind seeing Furrey in a Browns uniform, but I don't think we'd be bringing him in to start. More of an insurance policy in case our rookie receivers aren't capable of contributing this year.

  • Browns Sign Free Agent WR

    by Site Staff of theOBR.com, May 5, 2009 at 6:30pm ET

    The Cleveland Browns today signed free agent wide receiver Mike Furrey, the team announced. Furrey is a veteran of six NFL seasons, including the last three with Detroit.

  • The guy was right! Wow, heard it here on the Browns Board first, the only place where you can get around Mangini's media blockade!

    Great signing, the guy just has hands, great hands! HANDS!!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNDSSS!

    Does that mean you are the guy who misspelled his name? 😆

  • I've noticed a disturbing trend with our new staff.

    They seem to be going after guys that can *gasp* catch the ball!

    Imagine that!

    A WR that can catch the ball!

    How we've only had 2, count 'em, 2 of those since we've came back and NOW we've brought 4 guys to camp, in 1 season KNOWN for catching the ball!

    Dear God I'm loving the coaching change already!

    I wonder how much time Edwards has on the clock here...

  • Good to see that receiver depth won't be a problem again this year.

    I wonder if Patten and Furrey are fighting for the same roster spot. Patten's got better speed, but he's also older and less durable.

  • WoW, We go from having a really bad WR core one week to having nothing short of a superb Wr core. Mike Furrey is such a great pickup i cant cant believe we got him. He is going to be BQ's Wes Welker. On anther note, looks like we might be seeing BE out the door soon. Im going to miss his crazy TD grabs, but not his drops.

    I don't believe any of these roster moves have anything to do with Edwards. And that Thomas Jones-for-Edwards trade rumor is garbage. No way we trade Edwards for an over-30 RB...

  • @shepwrite said:

    I would say Edwards, Robiskie, MoMass, Furrey, and Patten are the locks

    Absolutely.

    The "number 1," the "rookies," and the "possession guys/vets." Nice mix, too.

  • Mad Props to Nails on this Furry signing. I thought it was bogus. Way to leak a signing way way earlier than anybody. Now the browns have a very respectable WR corp. Cant argue with Edwards, Furry, Robiskie w

  • So, can we chalk this up to a move able to be made because of our day 1 draft day moves?

    I didn't read this entire thread, but I didn't know this:

    - Born May 12, 1977 in Grove City, Ohio, Furrey attended Hilliard (Ohio) High School

    Quinn to Furrey and Robiskie? Pretty cool.
