    We move up just 14 spots near the end of the draft....and they get what was our best CB?  

    WTF?  If that is a "football guy" move....  explain how so?   If we got their 6th round pick....with no swap of picks...I could possibly see that.   If this were in the first, 2d,3rd round...maybe.     But this seems like extraordinarily weak compensation.     (but sure...better than an out right release).

    I guess I missed it....What is that all about?    And which boss?   Dorsey.....yea...I can see where that would get you in trouble.  Hue?  I would think not...it should be open season on criticizing Hue.

    Dorsey said the last FO didn't get real players and goofball decided to say he was offended.  He should have shut up and cashed his check.  But his feelings and stuff.

    Sounds like Jackson made some comments that irked McCourty, and others. Duke Johnson, he of the potential contract extension, seems to agree per this article.

    I dunno. I’d be pissed too if my bosses were throwing me under the bus to save their own asses, especially when they contributed to the suck fest too.

    I have no problem with McCourty being POed about the comments.   If there were a few guys that were "real players".....McCourty was one of them.  

    Jamar Taylor? Not so much.

    I think that should be the offending factor.  The ones that didn't get that should be gone.

    lol... Yeah... trade his butt to the Pats... make him play with his brother... that'll show him.

    If there's any truth to this being a factor, then this is far worse than I ever thought it would be.

    More like cutting the cancer away.  Poor guy.  So sad.  It's even far worse than the far worse you thought it would be in some other reality.

    He played VERY well and this move is beyond Shmucking stupid. The FO started out with a bit of a bang with trades and since then has progressively Sheet the bed to the point of outright negligent.

    I don't know about all that but regarding THIS move, it's puzzling. 

    Basically they just released a productive guy who didn't break the bank.

    Does this mean we're drafting Minkah Fitzpatrick.

    I think the Browns would love to bookend Garrett with Chubb at the other DE spot.... Or maybe a trade down could happen to go after a LT? 

    I'd be quite fine with Fitzpatrick though
