Pryor to Redskins
-
It should really noted how "quiet" the chatter is on TP right now compared to the other top-tier FA's available (several whom we signed). It signals to me that this FO might just know what they are doing after all.
With Jeffries and Smith going to the Eagles, it helps Pryor's bargaining power with any team desperate enough for a WR. NFLN had him as the #3 best FA prospect still out there.
This was clearly a case- as I opined elsewhere Rosenhaus is thinking the contract he got for Antonio Brown set the WR market. Probably not.
As to the FO knowing what they're doing- they were clearly not being cheapskates with Pryor. Spent huge bucks on Bitonio and Zeitler- because they thought they were worth the investment. Old Drew apparently hypnotized Tyrell into thinking he could get him a way better deal than what the Browns were offering. If the Redskins don't give him what Rosenhaus is going to ask- no one will.

Definitely looks that way now that the day one dust has settled. The truly "hot" commodities get scooped up ASAP, and TP it seems basically has the redskins and the Browns as serious contenders.
Just another way the FO played free agency excellent IMHO. If he has to come back to the Browns they hold ALL the bargaining power.

Keep your eyes out for two teams: TEN & CHI. Rumor is Chicago is going to push hard for TP since they lost Jeffrey and Ten has not signed a wr in FA, which is one of their biggest holes. Now, If they end up getting a deal done for Cooks with NO, that could change. I still think TP is going to find the Browns were right on the money on his market value. The GM of the Bears is very similar to Sashi in that department, and he does not hand out a lot of bad contracts.

Apparently TP and Drew met again with WSH this morning...
... and again left empty handed.

On one hand, I like the fact that our analytics department has figured out the true value of players. They set a price point, and wouldn't go over it. They basically told Pryor's camp to go out and do better, and obviously they haven't been able to. On the down side, I would've liked this deal done already. It just feels like we paid Britt the money we set aside for Pryor, and then the huge bucks for Zeitler, the center, and of course the Brock debacle. Can't see us spending any more money on offense. If we sign any other players, I see it coming on the defensive side of the ball.

1 year, 8 mil
Guess he didn't wanna be here after we got Britt
No link. Rapoport on NFL Network just broke it live

well, that should humble him a bit. He finally had to admit defeat, accept less money,
and save face.
asswhole. Won't miss him. He can be replaced with a wr that won't be
bitching and yelling at coaches on the sidelines...
can't find a link though...

LOL
Pryors a tool. Watch how his body language was in the sideline this year speaking to Hue. I don't think the Browns were ever interested in this guy long term

Ya, fuck him.
Sorry for you Ohio St. guys who loved him so much, but he over-valued himself.
Appreciate the effort last year though, he'll be remembered fondly for that.

So you leave a system where you were successful, had coaches that believed in you, and had a decent supporting cast/FO that it seems know what they're doing to get paid the same amount by a team who has a QB who doesn't want to play for them, no GM, and no other WRs??
Not making you look too smart there, Terrelle.

There has to have been a lot of misinformation reported on what we offered him. As of yesterday our offer was said to be still on the table. It's been reported by multiple sources the offer was double digit per year for four years. Something is amiss here for sure. This isn't Buckeye homerism but if we declined to beat $8MM a year shame on us.

With Hawkins gone and now him. Hell we should trade for Cooks, or may be in the running for Williams now.

God dammit

Guess all that talk about reppin CLE was just spewing bullshit. Dude, let me down... more that Gordon ever has.
God I hope we get Josh back soon.
Gordon, Coleman and Britt - (Switzer)
Garrett/Trubisky @ 1&2= Pryor who?
The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one. -Mark Twain- "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." -Mark Twain- -
End of the day, his agent fucked him. Kept filling his ear about how much he was REALLY worth then went out and found he was only worth that $8 million. Instead of taking the sure thing with us for the same price and alot more up front, he now has to hope to god he matches or out performs from last year.
Ruining threads since 1897. -
I got feeling he blew smoke never wanted to stay. Why he def has talent seems to be a headcase im presuming he must not been really wanted by to many teams to accept a 1 year deal!!! id laugh if cousins leaves now!!
id laugh if cousins leaves now!

Watch how his body language was in the sideline this year speaking to Hue.
