    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.

    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?

    I agree.

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

    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

    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.

    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?

    But he's under contract, as was pointed out. Would the Cards take a lesser deal, just to make him happy? Our first round pick will be way better than the Saints should Dorsey think it's worth giving up that much.

    What would the Cards want for him?   As a defensive back.....he is probably as good at is position as Khalil Mack is at his....and they got TWO first round picks for him.

    I suspect the Cardinals could say:   that (the Mack deal)  set the market price.

    Two firsts is too much. Will the Cards want to go to full rebuild mode like the Raiders? Stay tuned.

    Sort of...

    Dixon was the Daddy dawg. Started barking to psych himself up and then took it into the games celebrating plays, etc.

    Hanford posed for a poster titled "Dogs of the Defense". IIRC he was in a white suit with 3 or 4 Afghans on leashes. Wish I could show it to you, but it never shows up in google searches.

    From there came the Dawg Pound in old Municipal Stadium's bleachers...

    NFL Films does a series of "Top Ten" this and thats. One episode was "Top Ten Cornerback Tandems". Dixon-Minniefield were #2 only behind Oakland's Mike Haynes and Lester Hayes.

    Here's the clip on our duo. At the 3:24 mark there's a stat comment that is one of the most remarkable things I've ever heard:

    "In 1987 only seven passes were thrown in the direction of Hanford Dixon."

    Nonetheless the risk is another Bowe or Britt just looking for a last good contract without producing.
