Duke Dumps his Agent

The Browns Board

  • So true story on Dukes former agent. In section 138 where my season tickets were  a few seasons ago Kristin Campbell and her man sat next to me for a game. The man had coached Duke in some club ball and was quite a bit more vocal than his wife. They were clear though they felt he was under utilized and wanted to get him out to a team that would play him more. They absolutely hated Cleveland and made it clear the only reason they were there was to see Duke. Based on the conversations of that day I have to wonder if she wasn’t driving the wedge as opposed to Duke himself. 

  • He has hired Drew Rosenhaus

    The man wants out.  You pretty much HAVE to trade him for what you can get or you're going to have a mal-content on your team.

    I’ve been a malcontent on my job off and on for 20 years ?. That said I still do my job so I can get payed. Being in sales getting paid or not is on me.

    Good luck to ya!! I lived that life for 25 years in the flooring business.. being promoted & moved around enough I stepped out..at times, I do miss it & may fall back on it, since the retirement plan is now work till ya all fall out...My first job at 16 was so easy..Putt-Putt- watching hot babes, bend to get ball out of the hole 🙂 Than scream at me "Hole in One"

  • with all the weapons we have on the team....i wonder if keeping hunt is the right call. I suspect thats why some of u are so adamant about keeping duke aroubd....xause of how many years josh burned us. But understand duke needs to look out for #1 first and foremost. He was already gonna be tge 2nd guy behind chubb...so i completely understand how dropping to 3rd on the depth chart isnt going to sit well with a guy who's proven he can produce. 

    Frankly id have zero prob if the browns released hunt and went with chubb/duke. No hard feelings against hunt....im just saying im good with going with a guy who isnt suspended for 8 games.

    if there was a sort of a gentlemans agreement thst if duke produces he stays at #2 even when hunt comes off suspension....but we all know thatbaint happenin. 

  • If he was dumb enough to hire Rosenhaus.. Then he deserve any bad turn that comes his way.. Dumbass!

    well yeah now it is....its too lste to go back to duke. Look Hunt may keep his ass clean and if he does so...dorsey looks golden grabbing him. If he doesnt, and we lost duke on thst gamble...not so much. I was as traumatized by josh as any browns fan.....so yeah im paranoid hunts a problem child. 

    but heres hoping im completely fucking wrong. Cause i still think duke abd chub would still be the best backfield in the NFL. If duke was just a depth guy this would be a non issue.....but we all know he isnt. He's not a heavy lifter but pair him with one and u have urself a dangerous backfield

  • cleve, i refuse to jump up & down over losing a 3rd down back that was no better than Isaiah Crowell once out of 3 seasons..Yes, Duke makes a good pair with Chubb, But Duke yet again, can't beat out Chubb..RB's like CJ Anderson are always training to take Rams to Super bowls..Watch Duke chip a pass rusher than watch Hunt flatten his. Am just going to sit back & enjoy The Dorse pulling Duke's puppet strings as Rosie house, once again promises the world ? to land his players 1 year deals..Crow knows & Pryor knows & Perriman knows.. This has now turned into a "do for me, like you did for Antonio Brown Mr. Drew" the steelqueers took a 5th rounder..Duke ain't AB and Dorse has a no give Duke away plan.. ?popcorn ready to add salt   

  • IF we trade him, even for a late rounder, the other team will most likely insist upon redoing his contract. If we cut him, good luck to he & Rosenhaus. After all, as Gumby noted, ol' Drew certainly got Pryor & Crow set for life, didn't he? LOL.

    Keeping him, IMO, is no longer an option.

  • I suppose l’m just spitballing here, but with the agent change Duke really has an opportunity to change the narrative a bit. Sure, he likely still wants out, but he can take a different angle here. 

    I’m sure Rosenhaus thinks he knows how to help players get what they want, and it’s reasonable to think the approach Duke was taking with his former agent wasn’t working, so safe bet that a different strategy is forthcoming.

    Instead of standing there talking about “trade me because l don’t feel wanted”, it could be more along the lines of “looking forward to the opportunity to show the NFL what l can do”, which imo is a more win-win approach.

    Duke is a nice player to have on your roster.. But , does he get you over the hump?.. Nope!!

    Am going to give some million-aire a advertising idea ?.. The phase "If you don't wear Brown & Orange? You don't Matter" needs to be made in a US Mailbox vinyl wrap ? them bastards will pop up everywhere in every State, including England & Spain...they can have my cut ? (but i want Baker kicked back as John Dorsey in one corner)

    no but neither does hunt. Its the combo with chubb that makes duke as well as hunt, such a promising backfield.

    Hunt is 5x's the back Duke is..Hence why Dontrell Hilliard went "Ahead" of duke..

    i wouldnt be comfortable with him being the feature back here. Id be asking for a carlos hyde type to do the heavy lifting. Does hunt catch well out of the backfield?

    Yes he does.  Quite well.

    All of our backfield participants can catch the ball.

    I do... judging by what has transpired.. Wake up from your nap already!.. 😛
