  • Ward and Peterson would be a tantalizing combination...

    But it doesn’t seem like something Dorsey would do. Maybe if we had a slightly better record..? idk

    He's not a short term fix though.  He would be a cornerstone of the defense for 5 years or more possibly.  

  • Larry fitz is a very short term fix to a long term problem. We’re not in a position to give up any trade assets for him. 

    Peterson is different he’s 28 an elite player at a premium position in his prime. I’m sure we’ll be calling. 

    Does he only want to go to a “contender” though?

    What makes you think the Browns are not a contender in the AFCN?  Steelers are 3-2-1, Ravens and Bengals are 4-3, Browns are 2-4-1.  By my reckoning that means they are only 1.5 games out of the division lead, with  4 more division games to go. Plus, they actually own the best division record to this point.

    IF they got a Peterson....it would mean they WOULD in my opinion be a contender, as one of our biggest problems is the need for a shut down corner.

    And if you look long term, it looks even better for the Browns.

    Fair to say?

    Hue Jackson is mainly why we aren’t a contender 

    I have zero problem with trading for Peterson I said it’s Larry Fitz who is not worth trading for.

    I agree.

    Apparently he wants to play for New Orleans according to the ESPN report just now.

    What makes him think he can dictate a trade like that? When will he be a free agent?

    (I guess he did attend  LSU, no?  And that is why he wants NOLA? He wants to be Dorothy?)

  • Pairing Peterson with Ward would be amazing. I doubt he'd want to come here though

    Facts don’t lie Gip, anyone expecting him to suddenly turn into a good HC is kidding themselves.

    Correct me if I am wrong....but didn't Bert Bell go on to become the Commissioner of the NFL?

    He did...see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Bell

    Now, that would be a perfect job for Hue.....Not Commish...but some job in the NFL office as a coffee fetcher.

    Let's face it. He wants to play for a team that has a shot at a SB win, not the woeful Browns with Huey Loser.

  • It's interesting how LondonBrown never thought the Browns record in 2016 and 2017 should be used against Sashi Brown, but with Hue its perfectly fine. 

    Very interesting. 

  • Take him in a heartbeat, him dictating or having a dream list? 2 shut down CB. Makes the front 7 even more efficient

    Did you quote the wrong guy? I didn’t say he was short term

  • Again does anybody know his contract status

  • Two years left

  • Cards GM has zero interest in trading Peterson.

    Peterson wants a trade because he wants to win a Championship... now... so that kinda eliminates us.

    Nevertheless, he has  like 2.5 years left on his deal.   He would have to go wherever he is traded to.

    I think he really just want New Orleans, because it is home....and because they have a fair chance at getting to the Super Bowl.

    As for eliminating the Browns.....maybe for 2018, but FYI, with the right people, i.e. QB particularly, coaches in place, a quick turnaround is highly possible. Patriots went from 5-11 to Super Bowl Champs with BB/TB  Rams went from 4-12 to Super Bowl Champs with Vermeil/Warner  Look at the Rams just two years ago..and where McKay/Goff have them now.  They were awful 2 years ago.   Browns went from  5-11 in 1984 to 8-8 in 1985 to 12-4 in 1986 with the right coach/QB combo.

    Could this happen with Browns?  I believe so.  (but not with this coach....hell....give me Jeff Fisher instead)

    Edit:  and think what the Browns had at DB back then: Dixon/Minnifield.    Peterson/Ward?  Could surpass that duo.

    Dixon/Minnifield are the couple of defenders that started all the dawg pound thing?

    Is that a question?   The answer is yes, they are.
