  • Hopefully he doesn't pull a Martavis Bryant after returning -- even without the suspension he's at best our #4. When he returns he might be our 5th..

    It's like Josh Gordon all over again. My God, how is that even possible?

  • They test for alcohol too. Just ask Gordon. He got busted for a beer. Last I heard, it’s legal. Pot may have a ways to go yet

  • this reads more like..1) Callaway admits messing up "driving back" 2.) around the time Monkin reported Cab as "out of shape"..Callaway & Browns knew at that point of pending suspension from nfl..3) Cab was forced by browns to tell his teammates yesterday, before nfl announced.. 

  • And some thought Gordon was irreplaceable...

  • Just cut ties with Callaway now , Dorsey took a chance and gave him an opportunity with his past history . Antonio didn’t respect Dorsey enough considering the opportunity he was given

    It would definitely set a precedent that professionalism is expected by the Browns organization, that this isn't the same Browns team that gives Josh Gordon chance after chance. 

  • Honestly we don't need him, or that kind of baggage hanging around the locker room. The dorse should take the next few weeks and try to trade him. Someone will take him.

    Hollywood Higgins next man up.   Weed ain't shit either

    Hollywood already took Callaway's spot.      Agreed on the latter.

    As of right now, just as bad as results as PEDs. And now he's gonna be randomly tested for drugs the rest of his career, and he's shown he can't stay off the weed, so his career could be over. 

    Depends on the next CBA, where weed will absolutely be addressed.

    I agree.  I don't think it will be on the list of banned substances.

  • If there is any good in this is it opens a roster spot for Guiseppi if he keeps looking good.  At least a 4 game opening.  At that point we will be better able to decide on who sticks and who is gone once Calloway comes back.  I doubt we will cut him.

  • From the reports and articles I’ve read, he’s on very thin ice with this FO. If he screws up again, he’ll be heading to Foxboro

    Kitchens and Dorsey are both pissed about this.

    "thin ice" is going to be more like "walked to the edge of the plank off a pirate ship and toes over the edge".

    Kitchens and Dorsey won't put up with it.

    haven't heard about "it wasn't my weed" whatever.

    I like this article on it:

    https://dawgpounddaily.com/2019/08/10/callaway-gives-cleveland-browns-the-adversity-they-wanted/

    btw, how does Calloway get a 4 game suspension, but Tyreek Hill gets no suspension?

    very strange.

    I think for Callaway it’s considered a second offense with his pee test fail before the combine. I don’t think he ever got tested after his traffic incident before last season, or if he was he tested ok.

    "thin ice" is going to be more like "walked to the edge of the plank off a pirate ship in a storm and toes over the edge".

    If Calloway fails again later on, and gets suspended again...

    I would hate to have cut D. J. Montgomery.

    The Browns have a LOT of serious decisions to make.

  • We're not going to mess around with him. It breaks my heart, but this kid will either be cut or traded in the coming weeks. I honestly don't WANT to lose him, but we're simply not going to tolerate bullshit anymore. I heart aches for people struggling with drugs, and I don't need to go into how I hate the NFL's stance on pot, but rules are rules. We don't want distractions, and Callaway is one. I hope he figures it out, I really do.

    I wonder if his bags are packed.....yet?

  • The thing with Callaway is he has a pattern of poor decisions. This isn't a drug problem he can't control, this is yet another self-destructive life choice, like passing bad checks or committing fraud or whatever he did during college that had nothing to do with weed. I know I'm shocked that throwing over a million dollars at a kid who was kicked off the Florida Gators somehow didn't make him grow up. 

    Damn shame, the Browns could use him, even with the talent in the WR room.

    True but you don't want someone who ends up on some list poisoning your team......uh-oh he's already there.
