    Hopefully it happens, but you think you might be getting ahead of yourself? Forget about arguing playoffs or even Super Bowl, as that has been talked about enough (and I can even partially see why), and you did qualify that. But what exactly has anyone seen to call tremendous coaching?

    just a huge hunch - after the first half? of the season under he who is gone...and the losses, and the inspired play and wins by Baker and the Guys after Kitchens and co took over - I'd say the difference was coaching. Especially with a new special teams coordinator....Just my goofy take on it all.

    Gerald McCoy’s visit with the Browns went ‘great’ and he could sign here after visiting Ravens Tuesday, source says

    CLEVELAND, Ohio — Gerald McCoy’s visit with the Browns went “great” and they tried to sign him before he left town Friday, but he’ll honor a commitment to visit the Ravens on Tuesday, a league source said.

    Talks between the Browns and McCoy’s agent, Ben Dogra, continue, and McCoy could end up signing with the Browns next week depending on how his trip to Baltimore goes. McCoy will return to Orlando to spend Memorial Day weekend with his family before heading to Baltimore on Tuesday. He could take one more visit after that, but the Browns and Ravens are currently the frontrunners."

     heading to Baltimore on Tuesday. He could take one more visit after that, 

    That's what great about this time of year..These writers all use un-known "Sources".. Hell, they were only another 11 teams listed for McCoy's services from all 32 teams ?.. From what i hear in NC..The Panthers still want that one more visit..McCoy's got family? doubt they'd leave TB? but i'd certainly take the streets of Lake Erie life, far before the streets of Baltimore.. 

  • fuck....ravens will throw more money at him even if they hsve to.sit him just to keep him awsy from us. Almost gusrantee this happens as the ravens will give him whatever ge wants just to keep him out of cleveland. Something im sure his agent is well aware of. 

    gah....let Blt be some guys sunset contract for once. I just hope the overpay bites them in the ass. He could have put up some old time numbers in cleveland playing with those other 2 DTs

    Ravens may sign him ...for a lot more than the Browns, because they have a much more dire need for him on their D Line.  See my thread on the AFCN position rankings.  The Ravens, in my opinion, rank last in the league along the DL.  They do not have the talent there that the Browns, Bengals or Steelers have.

    Am not there yet.. 1) the Ravens just dumped 16M in dead cap money to dump Flacco..They only have 14.7M left in cap space. They just drafted 2 decent DT's this draft that won't develope much with McCoy & Brandon Williams getting most the reps..They maybe more in a rotational mode at DT with a McCoy onboard, more than us? They'd be lucky to get McCoy done for 1 year with that cap.. Edit--nothing wrong with signing a Dawg on HumpDay..keep talking Dorse

    I'm not saying that they cant be, but certainly way too early to make that claim, especially as a pitch for a player.

  • highly doubt signs with browns-reason why here he be in a rotation there are teams who will start him not use him in a rotation!

    He's an older player.  Maybe he likes the idea of not having to play every single play.

    Dude played 9 years for a doormat team, who thanked him by releasing him. Once money is made, what's wrong with wanting a ring?

    Nothing...the problem is that he apparently is using ancient thinking that the Browns are not a team that could challenge for a title.

    Not true at all Gips!   He knows where Baker put his alma mater and how he jumper cabled this franchise to just 8 losses from an 0-16 record the year before as a rookie.  Anyway, if it was reported 10 teams were interested in you - would it be wise to just visit the 1st team that might not be willing to pay you nearly what others could and accept their very 1st offer?  

    On the radio here, the hosts like to remind fans that fail to appreciate McCoy's 6 Pro Bowl efforts on the field all he's done for the community off the field - exactly how long Suh remained without interest in free agency in comparison to how many teams are competing for McCoy at this time. 

    My guess is McCoy will visit a few teams interested in him and pick the best blend of money and post season opportunity.  That should make Cleveland a finalist IMO. However, I think our biggest challenge (besides Ratville) is him wanting to stay in Tampa's division so he can face them twice a year.  And I thought our fanbase used to be brutal toward the little feller Colt McCoy.  If you heard the Hatefields and Hatfields on the sports radio down here - they make it sound like this McCoy is Oklahoma's biggest bust since the Boz.  And that's the kind of sting that might land him in Carolina or New Orleans.  Although New Orleans doesn't have a whole lotta money left to pay a 31 year old DT somewhere between 11 and 13 million $ this year.

    I have trouble seeing that playing out.  Especially in regards to the long term outlook on the Dline.   Trading a cheap and effective player growing into his own in just a 3rd season?   I compare him favorably to Michael Brockers.   I also don't think the return on a potential trade would net us a player that has flashed at his spot like Larry has so far.

    Why would we trade Ogunjobi?.. He's younger than McCoy.. That makes absolutely no sense Tour...

    It makes sense when you're in the "win now" fever Dorsey has caught.   If he thinks he can bring in somebody as an upgrade to Tretter or Hubbard especially.    Jobi is a decent young bargaining chip.   But like I said earlier, my concern is the return on investment in such a trade.

    That would be the same to me as thinking Chubb becomes a bargaining chip when Hunt comes in. I love the idea of having such talented depth. Keep em all!!!!!!!!!

    I don't see that playing out at all. We love Ogunjobi and we want McCoy to help fill out our DL rotation. That's how I see it anyway. We also have to keep in mind that injuries happen all the time, and we got gashed by the run too many times last year. We're going to try and stack up our line as best as possible, and signing McCoy would enable us to rotate several QUALITY linemen in and out during the game. Nobody else would have anything like our lineup, and keeping linemen fresh could pay off big time. 

  • McCoy 2018 - AGE 31

    Games 14 Sacks 6 Solo tackles 17 Forced Fumble 0

    Ogunjobi 2018 AGE 24

    Games 16 Sacks 5.5 Solo tackles 33 Forced Fumble 1

    Nope. Not seeing it. You KEEP Ogunjobi.

    I hope not.   Ogunjobi had a really good year for us in 2018.   Plus, while upside continues to unfold with him - his first contract is very cap friendly.

    Signing Richardson upgraded the other DT spot. 

    IMO, adding McCoy where he is at today in terms of age + wear and tear means he can help us most rotating in with the 2 younger starters.  Keep em all fresh and they should all just get better IMO.   We needed more talent and depth at DT and the trio of Ogunjobi, Richardson and McCoy brings us that...

    im usually not lurching forward in my chair from ur posts tour.....but this one made me jump. Under no circumstsnces do we ship out Jobi. McCoy is very competent "depth" at this point....he's not going to be as productive anymore getting all the reps. The reason u bring him in is to make sure jobi and richardson are near 100% for the playoffs.

    Point being, sacrificing good players for players Dorsey feels might be good to great is something he is clearly willing to do.
