    Same people that burned all those #1 draft picks. They made virtually no good decisions. Luckily that is all behind us.

      TJ was seen as a coverage liability... although you'd have a hard time convincing the Broncos of that.

        TJ Ward?......

        He was ok....but not nearly good enough to be crying about it 4 years later.....

          Naturally TJ became less of a coverage liability when he was paired up with two pro bowl corners and two future HOF pass rushers.  

          Would he be the player he's currently viewed as if the Brownies had kept him?  Likely not.

                  That is true! Ward said they never offered him a contract and he was a devastating tackler. He took out the tight end in Green Bay who never played again. I think it was Jeramiah Finley that TJ Ward hit and he never recovered. I remember because I play Fantasy Football and Finley was on my team.

                            If take ward back just for the snotbubbke factor. It was fun to watch him drop bbc on soneone. Was he the one that cut gronks knee off?

                                I hope he doesn't sign with the Steelers! He'd be playing with Haden! Two guys that should still be Browns

                                  Could be, I got him confused with Gipson against Green Bay but I think it was TJ that hurt Gronk and if you can hurt a guy whose Mammoth compared to DB's and Safety's that's something.
