  • I like Britt, but signing him so early in FA makes me all warm and fuzzy about the 17 WRs taken in last year's draft.

    They will probably say f it and draft Mike Williams as well.

  • Wonder if this gives them leverage on TP. They're still in negotiations and this levels the "You need me" card, with a "I've already implemented a contingency" card.

  • OSU homers are quite amusing. Thinking 8 figures on a WR convert with 1 OK year is good move.

  • WTF, buying scraps again. IF this is with Pryor is meh ok. If it's instead of Pryor someone needs fired today. 1) We have to demonstrate willingness to pay players to keep them 2) 1000 yards 5 TD's is Britts career best , it's Pryors floor in first year a a receiver. I expected better I really did.

    Britt is basically the same age as Pryor....so as far as it being someone's floor or ceiling....they both stand about in equal status as far as I am concerned.

    I don't think Pryor's ability to learn the position is any better or worse than Britt's.

    But...if they can have both...sure...why not?

    (if that were the case...the guy that loses out possibly: Josh Gordon on his comeback attempt. Though I may still keep him too if I were the Browns. WTF. Better than like Rannell Hall or something)

  • What a Browns thing to do..

    Let's get rid of an up-and-coming WR in Pryor for an underwhelming vet in Britt..

    It's like TJ Ward and Donte Whitner all over again! >🙁

    Big age difference there though....not so with Pryor/Britt. 9 month age difference.

    How is Pryor an "up and coming WR" when they're the same age?? Britt has more than one season of production under his belt and if Pryor is really trying to get $10+ million per year, then Britt is a much better signing.

    Actually Pryor is 27, Britt is 28

    Pryor in his first season as a WR is already better than Kenny "Brittle".

    Britt has been mediocre at best. His only 1000 yard season was last year!

    Pryor had just as good as a year as Britt has had.. This is a head scratcher..

    I would rather spend the extra 3-4 mil a year for a guy who is a year younger, and has more upside than this sup-par player we just got..

    This is Ward/Whitner all over again!

    Britt born Sept. 1988. Pryor born June 1989. If they went to high school together they probably would have been in the same class.

    Dont confuse the OSU homers with facts. Pryor is the next Randy Moss....and Britt sucks..

    Well....I am just going by their ages...and noted they really were not at all far apart. And I don't know if it is OSU homerism. I just think people saw a bit of a ray of light in TP. But, a ray of light is not the same as a blazing sun. TP wants "I'm a blazing sun" money...not ray of light money.

    Their ages and one player has years of production as a WR and one is a 1 year player at the position who wants to be paid like a top 5 receiver in the league.

    just saw this on twitter...

    Browns Daily: "Terrelle Pryor sill in play, despite Britt news. Offer from CLE best on table so far. Market not what he expected."

    CBD also said we're still in the lead for Zeitler

    Britt, Tretter, Pryor, and Zeitler would make it a pretty decent free agency period for the Browns

    Even without Pryor it would be pretty good. It would mean that in the draft the Browns would be not be after WR/OL...and probably not RBs unless very late. (and remember...Crowell was UDFA). They would be defense heavy...and get a QB...and maybe a TE.

    I could see them using their 11 picks...2 on offense....9 on defense.

    Bito was not FA yet by any means...was he? He has only been in the league now 2 years. This year would be his third. Still a good move to lock him up.

    Collins definitely though.

    He was not, but signing a key young player before they enter a contract year is not a very browns move, and this is a nice departure from that, along with those other signings.

  • This year is Joel's 4th in the league.

  • This signing isn't anything other than the prod for TP and his agent to get back to the negotiating table. Britt won't earn any PT other than ST anyway.. he's not good.

    WalterFootball rates this a Millen F- grade for great reasons..

    Imagine that...some website doesn't like a FA signing. Other football experts are calling it a great signing. The guy had 1000 yards receiving on a shit team. Just like Pryor last year. Pryor wants 12 million a year...Britt was signed for 8... same age, same production 4 million dollars saved. Doesn't take a harvard nerd to figure out that it's not a terrible signing.

    Yeah but Kenny Britt didn't go to OSU so people don't like him as much...
