Matt Roth wants out of Cleveland

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on May 17, 2010 11:29 AM ET

Browns outside linebacker Matt Roth is hoping his stay in Cleveland is a short one.

Six months after Roth essentially forced his way out of Miami and the Browns claimed him off waivers, Roth asked Cleveland to trade him Monday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The unsigned restricted free agent wants a multi-year contract extension, and the two sides aren't close to reaching one. Roth had four sacks in seven games in Cleveland last year. He's expected to start this season.

We mentioned Sunday that the Browns have discussed lowering the tender offer for their restricted free agents if the players don't show up by June 15. It appears the standoff with Roth could take a while.

Let the stare down begin. I think that Roth will play this season under his current contract and if he produces, he will get paid. We shall see.

Accept the contract thats offered - or - sit out the season and receive nothing....

If he sits out I believe he will also be a restricted free agent next year....

He has no leverage in this fight.............

They start holding out of regular camp, then you need to start to be concerned.

I believe Roth WILL prove that & I hope it happens here in Northeast Ohio.

NED has yet to explain his/hers, but i took it as "irrelevant to the Browns future success" as well. i just hate assuming, and often with clarification people find they are in agreement...or they might just be passive aggressive. who knows, people are funny. 😎

we are as deep as i've seen at RB and LB, and added competition everywhere. i just imagine losing Wimbley, Jackson, and a Roth this time last year. there's no way. huge strides since then, but Roth is a nice piece i want to stick around.

I think I may understand this post & I agree with it. The irrelevance is that we are talking about players who are either unproven over the long haul or (as with Vickers) a one dimensional player. I'm not bad mouthing Vickers, I'm just saying that his offensive contributions have, to date, been blocking. These guys were not top picks & have not established enough of a track record of excellence to hold the Team "hostage" for the big bucks & long term deals until they better establish themselves.

If the current FO sees fit not to pay what they want, I'm good with that. We needed change in Cleveland & we're seeing it. That can't be a real bad thing.

Roth holding out is pretty relevant to my offseason. i guess you just post to be included and start caring in August then?

Rosenhaus is easily my least favorite person in pro football.

Maybe that explains part of the hold out ?

Use to guys would come in here and hang up their cleats so to speak and not perform to their expectations because they knew nobody was pushing them.

The new guys in charge, Hecktard and Holmgren are not marshmallows that can be pushed around.

I like the kind of straight forward language I am hearing from Heckert. I think this franchise is getting the right foundations for the long term going on and not bowing to player power. This is what will make us a solid prospect for growth, not having a revolving door of staff and "star" players chasing the dollar. I hope we keep Roth, I love an angry LB, but it's all about Cleveland and not individuals.

I fully agree, i have went from skeptical and unsure of "hecktard" to absolutely lovin the guy..straight talk and honest assessment to both the fans and players (when possible) is important and heckert delivers...we are finally barking up the right tree and my confidence in this regime and the browns future is very high..😉
