    FIFY... 😉

  • Quick Andrew Berry ...... POUNCE

     

    The #Raiders cut QB DeShone Kizer, source said.
  • Zombo said:

    Kizer is only QB in history with more than 10 starts never to win a game (he is 0-15).

    Hope he gets another start someday.

    When you come right down to it he was thrown into an impossible situation.  Not enough college experience and put in a questionable starting NFL lineup and he got killed.

    I just hope for his sake he saved a few bucks from his BROWNS $2.4M guaranteed salary.

    DeShone Kizer signed a 4 year, $4,948,416 contract with the Cleveland Browns, including a $1,738,848 signing bonus, $2,428,776 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,237,104. In 2020, Kizer will earn a base salary of $1,139,784, while carrying a cap hit of $1,139,784.

  • Browns waive DE/LB Travon Young with Injury Designation... Rams did the same in 2019..

  • Browns cut four players, reducing their roster to 80

    https://www.beaconjournal.com/sports/20200731/browns-cut-four-players-reducing-their-roster-to-80

    Linebacker Jermaine Grace and defensive tackle Justin Zimmer were waived by the Browns on Friday along with two undrafted rookies — wide receiver Tony Brown and defensive end George Obinna.

    The moves announced by the team reduced the roster to 80 players.

  • Browns add former Tarheel and 2nd round pick..  CB M.J. Steward.. fresh off waivers from TB. https://rotoworld.com/football/nfl/player/12124/mj-stewart 

    From what i can remember of Stewart at Carolina? This kid will not shy away from tackling. Has 4.50 40 speed, but shifty with 6.90 3-cone..  

  • Browns Sign Guard Micheal Dunn  https://cleveland.com/browns/2020/08/browns-sign-guard-michael-dunn.html   

    feeling of a camp body here? but the former Terp, has not given up on himself..He finds work & enjoys playing the game clearly..line'em up!  

    TE-Nate Wieting was cut to make room at 80

  • Am perplexed about a couple of Browns' moves recently. First, with the most cap space in the league and in losing several players this year from the OL, which received, deservedly, a lot of attention this off-season, why are they signing undrafted players instead of going after some players with NFL experience to back-up? With the anticipation that this year you will be using back-up players more due to Covid-19, doesn't it make sense to protect Baker with not only starters with good experience but back-ups?

    To make room for the latest OL guy (Fair) they waived Jameson Houston (Cb), whom they signed as an undrafted player this spring and even gave him a $60,000 bonus.  That money isn't going to break the bank but it's rather strange that they thought enough of him in the spring to give him 60K and then after a week or so of having him in Berea they cut him. what's going on with their talent evaluation that a new guy is thought of highly enough to put out a few dollars cash for him and then in just several days of seeing him, not even in a full practice,  they cut him?

    No indictments here. Just a couple of data points that popped into my head, and was wondering what others thought.

    Maybe in their evaluation process they learned that the CB wasn't going to make the grade. You know, that does happen.  They even often have to cut players they actually have drafted.  That probably takes longer, but it does happen.

  • Browns add C Casey Dunn from Saints PS last season..Dunn also played in Washington with Bill Callahan as his OL coach..Newly added Guard Jovahn Fair was released...

    I looked him up.  Was all-american in the OVC at Jacksonville State in Alabama.  It's a solid program.  Looks like he graduated early and then went to Auburn for Grad school and started 9-10 games for Auburn.   If you can start for a school like Auburn, you have to be pretty darn good.  Just like OSU, they don't have a big problem recruiting good players, and the SEC is as good as it gets in the college ranks.  You are playing against many of the best players in the country week after week, team after team.

  • one open spot left of 80.. Filled by DT Ricky Walker..This fine* Virginia Tech Hokie went undrafted to Dallas, to it's final cut-downs in 2019..Walker than played in the XFL as a TB Viper.. ?(ya see what we get for talking snakes?)

    Our defensive Super Bowl hopes maybe fading fast😉

  • C Casey Dunn moved to IR with foot.. *LB Malcolm Smith* added...Former SB MVP at the Hawks... Bless'em ya Berry ?

  • Browns place S Grant Delpit on IR...odd twist..Browns claim Dolphins 5th round 2019 rookie *DE Curtis Weaver*-Boise State..Weaver was headed to Dolphins IR with a foot injury.. Berry Claimed.. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/08/25/browns-claim-curtis-weaver-off-waivers/  

    from reading dolphins site.. foot may take 10-12 weeks to heal?  Weaver looks to be in the running as a Vernon replacement...?

  • When does the roster have to be set for the beginning of the season?

    Next Saturday 4pm? deadline

  • Offensive Players Cut

    • QB Garrett Gilbert - There is no need for three quarterbacks on the main roster, with the new rule that four players can be protected on the practice squad. Expect Gilbert to land there.
    • QB Kevin Davidson
    • RB Dontrell Hilliard - It appears that D’Ernest Johnson won the third running back job on the main roster. Reports say the Browns would like to keep Hilliard on the practice squad.
    • RB Benny LeMay
    • FB Johnny Stanton
    • WR Damion Ratley - The former 6th round pick saw some action last year, but an injury hampered him early in camp with a new coaching staff. Veteran Rashard Higgins won the No. 3 receiving job over him.
    • WR Taywan Taylor
    • WR Ja’Marcus Bradley
    • OL Willie Wright
    • OT Brady Aiello - Because Aiello was just signed on Friday, one would think that he has a decent chance to make the practice squad now.
    • OT Alex Taylor (injured)
    • OG Michael Dunn
    • C Jon Toth
