    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 🙂

    I would just point out that its a double edged sword....are we assuming the Browns arent trying?.....you know, these players have a lot of say in the matter and, even if we make very valid offers, they could still choose to go elsewhere.....

    Its not Sashis fault we have a shitty team and shitty weather....so, without any "real" info, lets not assume they arent even trying...

    The other option is to make some more Dwayne Bowe deals and WAY over pay for shit.....would that be better???

    Loyalty?.....HA!.....most of todays players go for the $$$ and wins.....its a business, not a love fest....

    Add Mike Silver to those who say about the Harvard guys "not so sure they are NFL street smart"- 2 minutes ago on NFL Network

    Casserly pretty much says they missed the boat on not realizing that FA the first couple of years is important in building a team.

    The whole crew is down on how this is working out for "baseball guys".

    Edit: I hate to say it but they pretty much ended it by laughing about the Browns FO along the lines of a Bob Marley song.

    We offered Marvin Jones a very low ball contract offer.....not really in for him.......Dwayne Bowe it is then

    and who else? Look I like JT but he's not playning a flashy position. A LT no matter how good he is isn't going to sell a lot of jerseys. We need to retain some of these players like Cribbs even if they fall off slightly cause it shows other players that the Browns don't toss you the minute you lose 1/100000th off your 40. If a player falls off too much that's one thing, but we need to keep some players for the sake of continuity and teaching.

    Watched the same segment, didn't get the same "lolbrowns" feeling at all.

    Silver seemed interested in seeing our FO work out, Casserly was saying we need to dabble more in FA than previous regimes. As a matter of fact, they made it a point to state this regime isn't like our last, because the transition to the segment was from a Manziel story.

    It's 10:50 AM. Free agency isn't even open. And you guys are already down on this FO?

    You know, we signed Dansby, Bowe, Bryant, Tramon, Mack & Whitner to huge contracts and, really, all I heard was that we overpaid for crap....(except maybe Mack, who clearly didnt want to be here).....

    And, now, we stick to our guns and dont overpay 2nd tier players like Benji or Jones and what?....were cheap or stupid?

    Jones signed for $8 million.....should we have offered him 10????....Maybe pay Benji $8 million to return some punts?

    Well, with that we could revive the Geauga Lake Sea World.

    At the end of the day if we are a far worse team than at the beginning of the day then yes, we screwed the pooch. Right now outlook not so good.
