Bishop Sharkey is out there. I am thinking we are OK with Crow, Duke, Mozart and maybe Watson though.

We agree once again. He just got beat out in a team with great backs. And he's only 23.

Sharkey sounds fishy. Shankey a bad FG kicker. He's name is Sankey & for years I called him Stankey

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns appear to have solved their punting problem after trading three-time Pro Bowler Andy Lee to the Panthers last week.The Browns have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with former Broncos punter Britton Colquitt, who was released by Denver last week.Mike Klis of Denver's 9News first reported the news.Colquitt, 31, spent the past six seasons with the Broncos, where he became the best punter in franchise history.It means new punters Kasey Redfern and Mike Palardy, who both shanked punts last week, are on the way out.Colquitt was due to make $3.25 million this year, and the Broncos had asked him to take a payout. He refused.Colquitt helped the Broncos get to the Super Bowl by placing four punts inside the 20 in the AFC Championship Game.In other Browns news, the team has waived first-year tight end Connor Hamlett, who had an excellent camp.Hamlet was essentially beat out by fourth-round tight end Seth DeValve, who missed much of training camp with a knee injury, but showed promise when he returned.Hue Jackson made it clear that the draft picks this year would have an edge over players who weren't drafted by the club.A source said the Browns might keep only three tight ends in Gary Barnidge, Randall Telfer and DeValve. -

TGZ is already in the house?
Texans waived WR Cecil Short III. Medium sized WR who had a great year with JAX. Caught in a bit of a numbers game going into his 2nd year with HOU, but could be a question of injury toll though. And certainly not an area where we need bodies....

Any of the recent cuts interest anyone? I imagine Sashi will be sifting through the cuts to try to fill the gaps.

What's up with Center John Sullivan getting cut in Minnesota? Is he injured or was it a salary cap thing?
Last time I remember an allegedly washed up Center coming here it was Hank Fraley giving us an incredibly pleasant surprise. That guy was still able able to pull around end from his Center position in his 30s which was as unique as it was excellent.

we did turn a seventh into a fourth- but we're still minus that seventh, if I understand the trade correctly. Hehe, maybe Sashi and Depo can turn that fourth pick into 6 seventh round picks.

We dumped Peggy Lee and a 7th rounder for a 4th rounder and then picked up Denver's all-time leading punter in the middle of his career for free.
It was fricking brilliant.

True Z,
The punting trade sounds more and more brilliant everyday.
I guess Lee was a bit soft.

The "in" thing right now is to mope about cuts to a team that wasn't going to do shit anyway. Rebuilding is the name of the game.

I'll give them credit for being lucky- and being aware that Colquitt was still out there. If some other team had beat us to the punch- we would have had shit punting (and our incredibly valuable 2018 low 4th round pick). Um, that's worth about 55 points on the draft value chart. However, the shit punting would have blended right in with the rest of the shit on the team.
FWIW, it's probably unheard of for a team to have 14 draft picks- and have every one of them make the final roster. It's either they had the best draft of all time, or Sashi and Depo are so arrogant they're refusing to admit they made even ONE mistake in the draft. The other possibility is (and I'd refuse to believe it) the overall talent on the Browns before they took over was worse than the 0-16 Lions. So think about that for a minute.PS- I'll also give them credit for clearing out a lot of future cap room, remains to be seen how they use it.
