Here is a link for his contract details, fyi
Doesn't kill them by making this move now

So essentially we're paying him around $4.8 million (the rest of his guaranteed signing bonus) to make him go away. His base salary for 2018 was only guaranteed if he made the roster.

I guess we're going to find out pretty quickly who Sashi's boys are..... 1 down, more to go.
Yup. MHO? Sashi was too proud (or arrogant) to admit he get it "consensus pumpers"? Made a serious mistake. I'll bet there were around 5 others that will come out in the wash that can be laid at his feet. And though I'm not going to repost from my take in another thread- it's multiple instances of major misjudging of talent by the anal-itics guys why Brown is out of town. Golly gee, no friction between the Sashi and coaching staff? LOL!!!!

the thing is....Britt was the OPPOSITE of an analytics move. He was a receiver who had ok raw numbers from the 2016 campaign.....diving deeper into things and the secondary numbers from his whole career through 2015 were trash. He was the classic example of a move where the data and projections were very much at odds with giving him that deal.
bash Sashi all you want for the britt signing. It was a bad move, and just one reason he was shitcanned. but don't bash analytics for it.

Let me defend myself a little bit. I didn't specifically say Britt was an analytics pick. They have been relying on analytics way too much though. At the time I DID say beware of guys coming off a contract year. When the Bean Counter told Pryor to take a hike because he wanted too much, they put all their eggs in one basket betting Britt would repeat his contract year. Um. wrong, he got lazy once he got paid. Happens way too often.

If he fires Hue. I would be happy.
I know he can’t. But one can dream

Seems to me like Dorsey has known for some period of time that he was eventually going to be our GM. Probably not a LOONG time...but time enough to figure out that Britt was useless.
This is good. It gives our new GM 4 games to view, learn and understand the players, coaches, etc. so going into the offseason he's got a huge leg up on if he was hired the first week of January.

He doesn’t seem like a guy that will put up with Sheet.
Hopefully he will see that in Hue. And fire him too
Too bad Jimmy won’t allow that

We know what Jimmuh said....but there's 25% of the season yet to go. A lot can change in 4 games.

This is exactly right. This doesn't as much demonstrate the GM taking action as much as it does him supporting his coach. This clearly shows that Sashi and his ego forced Hue to keep Britt on the roster. This was a Hue decision supported by Dorsey.

You could have done that more succinctly and less annoyingly:
That song was the first thing that came to my head.
I'm looking forward to do the same stuff you do but with more modern music, hehehe.

I like this GM already.

Can't be worse than his predecessor.
Unless we go minus 1 and 17 next year.

I guess that means Mike Wallace is on deck

Don’t get me wrong, Britt sucks, but he’s still one of our top 3 receivers. Stupid move.

Nah, he just reverted to his pre contract year. Actually- you're full of it, http://www.nfl.com/teams/statistics?team=CLE read 'em and weep. He's 7th best in receptions, God only knows what his target to catch ratio is- look that one up if you want to- I'm sure as hell not going to waste my time looking. I will bet the ranch it sucks. So we're paying this bum $10 million to sit around, drop passes and collect a big paycheck?
MESSAGE SENT for that kind of $$$ we want better than 18 catches for 233 yards.
1) Sashi is always right
2) If Sashi is wrong, refer to #1.
Buy a clue War- it's why Brown got sent packing first.

Yep... Britt sucks but keep him. Made me laugh too

Releasing Britt does send a message too.
Underperform and you're gone!

^^^The statement above is one of the main problems with the Browns.....acceptance of players who are losers results in a losing Team. We have been willing to accept the unacceptable. Those days may (hopefully) be gone. Cutting Britt is a very positive 1st step.
