    Yep, letting Benjamin go is working out just peachy keen. Now how can we fuck up our OL?

    I want to be impressed by this FO before the day is out. Not starting out so hot.

    They may be hard liners on building through the draft. It could be ugly for a year or two. I am sure the fans will be patient....

    Waka! Waka! Waka!

    LOL! If you start out your draft by losing 3-4 of your better players in FA, I'd say they need to ask the NFL for back to back double slots for each round if they want to build a team that way. At least JM found a unique way to get away from this train wreck.

    Browns now have a new theme song if the day continues like this. Billy Joe and friends.

    Building through the draft has really worked in recent years hasn't it ....I mean Weeden, Gilbert and Manziel are shining lights that prove the draft makes a decent football team.

    We have nearly $50m in cap space for fucks sake

    If I put Corky in charge of making the picks, it really doesn't matter how many picks they had.

    Having qualified, smart people make the picks can build a good team.

    This is exactly what I heard on NFL HQ this morning about our FO. They are not keen on the draft and would rather get players from the draft. Despite what we heard from Hue. But I would've liked to have kept Benjamin, that does have me worried.

    I really hope there's at least one typo in there...

    the Browns don't need to get into a bidding war over

    one player. Jones wasn't all THAT.

    Be patient...let's see how it all works out.

    Stupid Farmer. Stupid Dwayne Bowe.

    Yes, but the Browns Board considered him!

    Think he'll at least send a card?

    I think he just got analyzed into a starting roll with Josh (smoke 'em if ya got 'em) Gordon. 😉

    If Benjamin goes....who the hell is going to return punts?

    Raheem Mostert came on late in the year & did well. Mostert was redone today. I really think they are leaning towards a Young WR in draft that can be used in KR/PR while building with other WR's. Trust in Gordon to get to end of contract? Get Marvin Jones on real paper Wednesday Sashi !!!!

    We always do this, a dude plays his ass off for us and we don't reward him. The one thing Cleveland could say is that we're loyal to our players that "play like a Brown". But we're not. So why again do kids want to come here and play out of college? They don't. All we get are high priced guys no one else wants to pay. Same old same old. Nothing changes. Good luck Goff or Wentz or whatever new scrub we bring in so we can cheer when he gets injured in a year or two. If either of those two guys would have to play next year they can't throw it. Ever. Just hand it off 40 times a game and just get us to the 2017 draft. Which is our SB>

    They tried to get Marvin Jones and Sanu but ended up with Casey Jones and Shamu

    Maybe then, Bowe isn't stupid, and won't be in the doghouse

    with Hue at the helm !

    FA isn't over yet.... btw and it sounds like Jones wanted to go

    to a winning team. whatever.

    And I thought I was the one who would be writing most of the miserable posts today....welcome to the club grab yourself a Pabst and handful of peanuts and watch FA unfold 🙂
