Kenny Britt signing with the Browns
-
it's not a terrible signing.
Andre Rison was not a terrible signing - until the games started, when it was clear that he just wanted to collect a paycheck and loaf around.
Walrus was not a terrible GM selection - until his first day of work, when it was clear that he just wanted to collect a paycheck and loaf around.
The same will be true of Britt. Of course it's good if he replicates the same effort as in his FA year.. but he won't.

And how do you know that Pryor will put in the same effort next year that he put in this year? By your logic, teams should never sign a FA because some players in the past haven't lived up to their contract.

I honestly don't know enough about Britt and his personality to comment... But Pryor certainly doesn't strike me as a guy who would rest on his laurels after a contract. He seems like the kinda guy who would go out and prove that he's worth the investment.

I do, and he has a marked history of loafing and under preforming. That's what worries me as noted in my other comment-the dude balled out to get a big contract and will go right back to his normal ways again. His history clearly makes that a valid concern to consider.

That might be so. Or he could've truly turned a new leaf as it were. Regardless, I'm not too concerned about it if only due to our current cap situation. He's a gamble we can afford.

The guy who disappeared in nearly half the games last season? 6 games last season with less than 5 catches and he wants $12 million per season? That aint gonna get it done

Trust me. I don't like $12M/yr either. I just don't believe that's what it would take to get it done. Let Washington give him that contract if that's what he gets.

Rumor has it that the Browns still have the highest offer on the table for Pryor. Apparently his "market" is NOT what he thought it would be! Shocker! I think the browns get a bad rap for the way they do FA, but this is twice now Schwartz and potentially pryor where guys believe their market to be higher than it actually is going to be. No way he gets $12 mil/yr. Britt is a perfect comp to him and he only is getting $8. Have you seen some of the stupid WR money being thrown around? Robert woods with $15 guaranteed, Garcon with $16 mil in the FIRST YEAR! Kenny stills $20 mil guaranteed. it's stupid money. The browns paid market price. I still think there is a chance they bring him back

TP is in WSH right now... after losing both Jackson and Gaucon they should be desperate enough to at least match us...

I don't either, but I know someone who does.... and it's not UnsymPathetic... it would be Gregg Williams.

OSU homers are quite amusing. Thinking 8 figures on a WR convert with 1 OK year is good move.
The OSU homer bullshit is getting old. Britt is a JAG. Career scattered with behavior problems and ONE season of 1000 yards in 8 seasons. You've seen his ceiling. Pryor as a "rookie" receiver hit the 1000. You haven't seen close to his ceiling. This is a fact whether he's from OSU or fucking Mars!OSU homers are quite amusing.

I guess 31 other teams agree with the Browns right now...........

Interesting that we would sign a receiver that going to be 29 at the beginning on next season for 4 years.
-
in 104 career games, Britt has averaged: 3 receptions on 5.4 targets, 47 yds .28 TDs and 2.1 first down receptions per game.

INÂ DORSEY I TRUST

Well Pryor did put up the same numbers as Britt and one has been a receiver for 10+ years the other 1 yearHow good is Terrelle Pryor, really?

Your concern was duly noted on NFLN. Yeah, maybe Williams was asked by the FO- Well, what do you think about this guy? Going to Pro Football reference, other than his contract year- darn mediocre. It will eventually come out how much of his contract is guaranteed. It's certainly not a cap-busting figure.

Britt is vastly underrated. As far as raw talent goes, the dude was up there with ANY WR in the league around 2010 (remember when he caught 7 catches for 225yds and 3 TDs?). before he got injured (ACL and MCL) a few years ago. He's a freak. Yes him and Pryor both have attitude and personality problems, but I saw the Rams play live last year and the kid was the only spark on that offense, and the only WR to score a TD that game. He'd be a great 2, and coaches and people in the locker room love him. He's definitely more skilled than any of the rookies we drafted last year, and maybe Coleman can learn a thing or two from him.
I think Pryor expects 10-14million per year, and i'm not sure we're gonna bite that. I wish we would've franchise tagged him, but if anything us signing Britt should help TP's desire to stay with us.
and christ fellas, aren't you happy we're spending? FFS at least we're trying. Let Britt play before y'all hate on him.

I don't know enough about the rest to comment but this I agree with.
Also Greg Williams must be a factor here, he will know exactly how he behaved last year and beyond
