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.

after Friday's reinjury of his hammy i think he should seriously consider taking this offer. he is still young and has fairly low miles. and, it's a fair offer after only one year of solid production...although if Gocong is worth18 MIL, Hillis is too.
as mentioned, maybe some escalators will get his pen to paper.

From NFL dot com: "The Plain Dealer reported Saturday, citing league sources, that the Browns are preparing to move on without RB Peyton Hillis after this season."
Hillis' erratic behavior:
“People you talk to who are close to Peyton Hillis and knew him in Denver say his behavior in the locker room in Cleveland is similar to what happened in Denver — one of the reasons why Denver wanted to trade him. It was inconsistent, always off the wall a little bit. I think ultimately Cleveland is seeing that, and that’s why they’re backing out of doing a deal right now.”
My take:
To compete with the Steelers, the Browns should learn some lessons from them first.
1. No contract negotiations during the season of play.
I dunno when the Steelers adopted this rule, but it seems to go back a long time, and it seems to have served them well.
All deals are done before opening day and no contract talks are allowed until the season is over, and the Steelers season always seems to extend several weeks beyond the Browns season for some reason, I dunno why. But maybe one of the reasons is that there are never any contract-talk distractions.

If I was the Browns, I would rescind all offers and be ready to draft two RB's next year something we have never done with conviction for many years and try to get an offensive gamer from one, futher I would draft two WRS as well hoping for the same results
Hillis is done, a one demensional player with limited skills and now exposed as a self absorbed greedy not so smart person
or we can do our MO draft two OL guys and two DL guys and hope we can get a TD next year
Ghoolie said, I get it, we both get it, when is the Herd gonna stop eating cow pies
