    Not unnoticed by me is the fact that Jimmah has finally learned his lesson and gotten himself a football guy and moved out of the way. 

    Go fetch your new GM some coffee and just enjoy the results.

    Let's talk about Jimmy (and Dee) for a moment. Jimmy Haslam STARTED as Owner with a passion to win, but he made mistakes on the path. The important thing is that he has "adjusted" to his mistakes each time. This time, he has compiled one of the best Front Offices in the NFL, LOADED with proven, successful men who came from winning programs to reverse this culture.

    Kudos & a big "THANK YOU" to Jimmy for GROWING as an Owner.

    I'm thankful he puts self evaluation over ego.  If anyone questions how much the guy wants to win - it was his plane that intercepted a Manning family tradition of playing QB at Ole Miss. And UT won a lot of football games in that time while it improved it's recruiting attraction to make it possible to win a National Championship the year after Manning left UT.  I doubt he wanted to win less when he bought this franchise.  He just had a learning curve when he took over an extended Poseiden Adventure.

    People forget Eddie DeBartolo didn't exactly get it right away.  During his growing pains, he fired more people in his organization than Donald Trump.  It takes a while to get the right help you can trust and empower.

    Honey Badger or Thomas next??

    Come Wednesday it only cost money..So you would think another "trade" would involve a player still attached to a team.Involving draft picks before just cutting him loose.Thats a lot of dudes.. from L.Bell to Dontari Poe..Poe was on the radio yesterday..quoted "he'd still play for a football guy like Dorsey." but were pretty solid up front..Maybe a DE if were missing out on Bradley Chubb? After Chubb & Marcus Davenport at DE, this draft class is no better than Orchard or Naz imo

    I don't think those would be the guys.     I  think it will be something minor, like a late round pick for a backup OG.

    He is FA, no?

    I am not familiar with him....pretty good?

  • Just sent Gordon and a 2nd to the Texans for Clowney.

    Not sure how I feel about that.

    Looks like that trade was Shelton. Have to wonder if we'll go after Dontari. Chubb just got way more desirable in the draft.

    I got baited.

  • Maybe I'm just getting old and can't remember correctly, but I don't remember having all of these trades before FA opened and the new season officially began?

    Never. There is supposed to be a tampering period before FA but it seems people were “tampering” more than a month ago.

    Logic beat me to it.  🙂 Is the league looking the other way about "tampering" all of a sudden? A bunch of guys who have gotten "traded" were still under contract with their original teams- a supposed no-no until the new league year starts on the 14th.

    Maybe not as solid without Shelton? I can expand on this post.Dontari Poe was on Jim Miller & Pat Kerwins sirius NFL radio show yesterday.This was right after the Jarvis Landry signing. And just before the Tyrod signing.Pat told Poe "that it sounds like your old GM John Dorsey is rolling up his sleeves again now in Cleveland." Poe responded "that is what Dorsey does, I'd still play football for that guy". Poe did make it clear he & his agent are open to playing anywhere & "were going to compete"

    Shelton not a great fit in the 4-3.   More of a 3-4 NT.    I guess that is why that move made.

    Yep....but the one fix he had no authority to do was to pick his own HC.   But I think that will be something he will be allowed to address come some point in the season where Dorsey will see that no amount of personell upgrades will make up for Hue's poor coaching.  But....maybe it will work out, now that Haley is here as OC....and Hue's effect on this team will be minimalized.

    Well, as the article said- if McCarron was Hue's guy, Dorsey told him to frack off over that idea. 

    In a mild adios to Sashi he did do a few (and far too few) good things but not nearly enough to make up for the massive blunders. The botched McCarron deal- which in hindsight was a good thing giving up WAY too much for AJ, and bringing in Zeitler and Tretter. 

    And we do have a few playmakers- Garrett was a no brainer- a monkey suffering from Alzheimer's could have got that one right, and Bringing in Collins.
