Tashaun Gipson Hopes to "Hang 40" on Browns

But you said higher pay means better players?

2017
Cleveland Browns
Approximate space: $105 million
A couple of years of caution and few homegrown talents to reward allowed the Browns to carry over more than $50 million from last year's cap. That accounts for nearly half of this season's league-leading total. Receiver Terrelle Pryor Sr. is in position to consume some of that space, but the Browns already have given linebacker Jamie Collins a four-year extension (2017 cap hit: $12.1 million) and almost certainly will roll over a significant portion of their current space to 2018.
Since the total salary cap from 2013-2016 is $554.55 million, then every NFL team, including the Browns, must have a cash spend of at least 89% of that by the end of the 2016 league year, which is $493.55 million.
More like he had to get someone like Collins and Zeitler.
Need more? Dwayne Bowe...
Just more proof that we need better talent evaluators in there so it doesn't happen again. (cough, BRITT, cough)

Actually we haven't been in "have to spend mode" for a couple seasons now.
And not sure where you got your "approximate" data, but it's clearly months old as it mentions Pryor's bite at the apple. It's also clearly wrong.
Total Cap Liabilities: $155,357,654- Top 51: $84,174,780
- Team Cap Space: $61,841,025
- Offense: $62,618,337
- Defense: $48,438,905
- Special: $5,102,292

My question about Tashaun's statement: He plays defense, does he not? Then why would he say that he wants to hang "40" on the Browns...assuming he means 40 points.
Shouldn't a defensive player's thought process be more like "We want to hang a Goose Egg" on them? I mean....if the Jags "hang 40" on the Browns...that would be the accomplishment of the offense, not the defense, no? Beyond that....what if the Jags DO "hang 40" on the Browns......but the Browns "hang 42" on that defense? That would be a real slap in the face, no? (not that I would ever expect this offense to score 42 on anyone, particularly the Jags).
-
The claim was Gipson is no better than what is currently on the Browns roster which is silly.
BTW, Kindred is a SS while Gip is a FS. So it's not really an apples to apples comparison.
Semi-silly perhaps... but just proves the naysyaers don't have a monopoly on hyperbole...
Peppers was also in my analysis, but then he's not really a FS either... is he?
And then there's the whole issue of Gip being worth his contract... an issue you deftly avoided.

Peppers is a non-factor due to where he plays, certainly no fault of his.
I would say overpaying a free agent is the norm in the NFL.
Is Gip worth $35 million? How about Kenny Britt...is he worth $32 million?

Now I'm confused...
Kenny Britt was never a WR1. Showed flashes of talent but was lazy. Dwayne Bowe was streaky at best and never a top 5 WR in the league. Collins was one of the only top tier signings we had recently. Usually, more pay = the players are better, doesn't mean people don't make mistakes, but the biggest mistake is leaving gaps all around your team and expecting twenty some year olds to play neck and neck with veterans.
-
Well... Britt wasn't signed to be a WR1 was he? Wasn't paid WR1 money, was he?
Yes, he under performed at points in his career including this season to date... until DET, where he lit it up early.... That's the guy we thought we'd signed to be our #2 behind Coleman.
Misses aren't uncommon... even with FAs who have a longer track record. However, I can't recall a member here who did not see the disaster coming that was Dwayne Bowe.
And least we forget... Collins was not an FA signing. He was a "roll-the-dice-and-trade-for-a-player-in-a-contract-year" who saw what we were doing in Believeland and bought into it enough to extend and stay.
Not sure anyone gives our "dismal worthless" FO enough credit for that one.
Good discussion...

I'm not talking about the F.O. at all. I'm talking if Jimmy is willing to part ways with his money to sign more FA's or to resign players. So far in his tenor as owner, he hasn't proved that he will.
-
Jimmah and the FO are inseparable when it comes to spending... so yes, you are talking about the FO... which in addition to the Collins dice-roll has spent on:
- the Bito extension,
- Zeitler,
- Joe's raise... while he was already under contract...
- Tretter... bit of a pattern in these first four...
- McCourty and Taylor... there.. got off the OL.
Pretty sure I named every player who is not playing under rookie contract... which BTW are cheap contracts. How many picks have we made in the past 3 and 4 years? 30 and 40? Plus UDFAs?
And that's not to mention the $35mm (or was it 50?) or so he poured into stadium rennovations. Do you really think he lays out that kind of cash only to skimp on the product so the place is only half full by the end of Sept?
How 'bout the $16mm paid for a 2nd round pick?
The guaranteed money to get Bowe gone? The past couple staffs... The past couple GMs...
If you can ignore all that, then you are one tuff nut. But a nut with one more year, about 16 months actually, to decry Jimmah's financial commitment.

So, the more I research this game, the more it looks like it COULD be closer to 40-0 than not. It's bad for us, no question about it. Why? Mainly because of the defensive scheme Jax runs, and the probable injuries of our two starting OT's. I know Hue said we might get Shon Coleman back, but I wouldn't bet on it. Additionally, Tretter popped up on the injury report with like three different injuries, so that's not good either. Jax doesn't blitz a lot. Instead, they consistently rush 4 and their DL runs a BUNCH of stunts and twists. This often confuses OL's and causes all kinds of trouble. If we had our starting OL, I'd feel a LITTLE bit better, but we're far from healthy right now, and it could be a VERY long day for our QB who is suffering from a painful rib injury. It's pretty much the worst matchup we could've hoped for after the injuries suffered in the Lions' game.
Making matters infinitely worse, Jax has talented LB's and DB's. Jalen Ramsey is giving up basically next to nothing this season, and he's a big, strong, athletic CB. Welcome back Corey Coleman. And since Jax doesn't blitz too much, you can bet there are going to be tons of people around the ball in the secondary. Those screen passes to Duke probably won't work, and I don't see the stupid WR screens working either. Right now, I'd probably bet money Kizer doesn't make it through the entire game healthy. He's going to get dropped over and over again.
Our big hope is that Bortles craps the sheets and gives us a few turnovers...maybe even a pick-6. Perhaps we can get a special teams play as well....we're certainly due for one. Bottom line, it's going to be a tough day.

I think actually the FO deserves credit for their work in free agency. There have been many more hits than misses. Their draft picks are a bit of a different story however, at least to this point.

I don't know about that Gip but our Gip is easily worth that in today's money.
It is shocking though what professional athletes get now, are they worth it? I remember just before the Indians caught fire the entire TEAM payroll was just over $8 million and future stars like A.Belle, Thome and Lofton making at or near the league minimum of $100,000......which is fabulous money even today for us working stiffs, more like a lottery hit.
Now I believe that NFL (or NCAA?) players deserve to be well compensated more than any other sport ue to the deviating injuries and possible very short careers but really Gip and Britt pulling that kind of cash, really?
And yes everything in life is relative like are Stallone and Swartenagger really worth $25 million for a few months work making a movie -BUT- are the ticket prices we stiffs pay also worth it, a family of 4 going to a pro football game Cost what now?
Sorry but it just rubs me wrong....occasionally that is unless I hit tonight's Mega Millions.
