Hillis And Browns
-
With contract discussions between the Cleveland Browns and Peyton Hillis still ongoing, reports are now circulating that the team has offered the running back a three-year contract extension that would be worth $16.5 million, with $3 million guaranteed.
WOIO’s Tony Zarella, sports director of Cleveland’s 19 Action News, is reporting that the Browns’ offer is very similar to that of linebacker Chris Gocong, who signed a three-year extension a little over one month ago. The version offered to Hillis would pay the running back $4 million in the first year, $4.5 in the second and $5 million in the third with a signing bonus of $3 million that would be fully guaranteed.

Didn't he want somewhere in the vicinity of 5 yr/$40 million? I'm too lazy to look it up, but I thought I remembered reading that.
If that's the case, Hillis won't be back next year after getting this offer.
IMO, good riddance. It's too hard for a player to concentrate with an agent in his ear.

It looks pretty good to me.
The reality is 7 mil is guaranteed. Unless something terrible happens he will get that first years salary, and if something really terrible happened, knowing how the Lerners have operated in the past, it wouldn't surprise me if we paid the contract in full.

Take it or get the fck out. We need players who want to help the team and not ME ME ME. Hillis used to be humble but it doesn't seem so any more.
He'd be a fool not to take it. I can't see that many teams offering much more for a 1 year wonder so far.

I love hillis but i understand the business side as well and hillis simply has not done enough to prove he is worth more than a 3 year contract worth 15m..
If he wants more than that this boneheaded regime needs to trade him instead of letting him walk..
I would add a 3 yr/15m contract would need to be laden with some heavy incentives to even bigger payouts though..

He should fire his douchebag agent and take the offer. It's job security while he plays for his next contract.
Browns could throw some escalators in there for production.

Every player on the Browns should be given an escalator of $2 million if they make the playoffs and win at least one game. $5 million if they win the Super Bowl.

Hillis is embroiled in another controversy after allegedly failing to show up for a promoted appearance at the Cleveland Boys and Girls Club on Monday night.
Former Browns lineman LeCharles Bentley, who is on the club's board, secured a commitment from Hillis' brother and business agent to appear at a Halloween party at the club on Broadway, said a source. A press release promoting Hillis' appearance was distributed to media on Friday.
More than 40 boys and girls, some of whom were bused in from other clubs, were on hand, another source said.
Hillis was also scheduled to appear on Bentley's Internet radio show.
On Monday night, Bentley wrote on his Twitter account: "Peyton Hillis looking for 10mil guaranteed from Browns and can't show up to kids charity event? #ManPlease."
The issue became a topic on the sports radio talk show circuit all day on Tuesday.
Bentley declined to comment on Tuesday. A text message to Hillis' agent asking for comment was not returned.
Browns spokesman Neal Gulkis had no comment and pointed out, via email, that the appearance was scheduled and promoted "independently of the Browns and our Community Outreach Department."
The Madden curse is real. The first time in the Madden curse history it's fooked someone's brain up.

I am starting to come around in thinking this too. Now I am not sure Hillis' intelligence, but I am sure his fag agent is pulling on his ego strings.

His head will soon be too big to fit inside a regulation sized helmet

Man. Wow. Hillis is losing some major points with me now after reading this. He's turning into a prick.

I am starting to really not like the guy.
-
I'm starting to wonder if he just wants out of Cleveland, to go to a team with a solid oline. @@
But, missing that Boys and Girls Club? I want to know who is agent is, so I can despise him, too.
Let him go, then, and draft a great one next draft. I can't make Hillis any excuses now. That was a dirtbag move.
I also wonder why Hillis dumped two other agents before, and went ...with this one.....
...wait a minute, it's coming to me....
-
He also missed a radio talk show that he said he would be at on the same night. Why the xxxx would you hire your brother as your business manager. That is a stupid move. I guarantee he has zero experience in that area.
-
What happened to this guy? What is he thinking playing games like this. He has really hurting himself if he thinks these stunts will help him get what he wants from the Browns or anyone else for that matter. Other teams will not be willing to give big money to a RB who takes himself out of games and misses multiple games because of a strain.
-
-
he needs a Browns Board douchebag award.
-
I think he'd be much better off going out and playing for what he think he's worth. Address the contract in the off season rather it's with the Browns or not. Either way he's making himself look bad by pulling this stuff he's putting down. He's killing whatever marketability he has with every team not just the Browns.

@WillBurge Peyton Hillis said hes sorry about the charity event & said there was a miscommunication between him & his management #Browns
I would have to assume this is the reason, because he not only missed the charity even but a radio show in the same night. That's why you don't hire family for your management positions.
