  • I wonder if the decision to let Kirksey go, has any effect on Schobert? With the added amount of money be used to potentially just tag Joe for one year...no right or wrong answer, just a thought

    It would kind of suck for Joe.. But if my interest is in winning.. Then you do what ya gotta do!

  • Looks like Captain Kirk  just got his red shirt.

    For those of you not steeped in Star Trek lore....the joke is that it was always the guys wearing the red shirts who would bite the dust on like a landing party.

    We are not going to "fill all the holes" in one off-season.

    This sentence should be part of the new uniform design.... Maybe replace "Browns" down the pants? Or wrap around the jersey sleeve? 

    No. I got it. Pick a kool font and it could finally be our helmet logos... but on both sides so everyone can always read it -  none of that hillbilly one sided stuff.

    I understand it is time to replace him, contract-wise and performance-wise (due to injuries) ...

    But don't let the door hit you on the way out??

    This guy has bled brown and orange for us. One of the few good players that had to struggle through 1-31 and gave everything he had.

    A leader, a fighter, and a guy who outplayed his draft status (rare during this Browns era).

    He goes down as one of my favorite players. Good luck to him, Browns forever!

    We might even want that hot pink font to say "LEFT" on 1 side and "RIGHT" on the other.  Let's not get too carried away with everyone being able to read it or understand it though. 

  • I don't understand how or why this thread in any way represents a contested opinion.. kirksey hasn't been above average in years, let alone performing up to his elite-level contract.

    his cap in 2020 is over 9M when his performance will justify under 1m.. seriously it's flat-out insane that cutting this guy is even a question.

    His cap last year was 8.2M.. his "earned salary" on OTC [what salary is justified based on performance] was 201k.

    If you wonder why we're suddenly up against the cap when just a few yrs ago we had gobs of space.. hint: don't give a backup top-10-starter money.

    Suck what?

    I had very few qualms with Kirksey’s play when healthy.

  • You guys are not understanding the nature of his statement.

    Kirksey tweeted, Blessing in disguise.  So, in response, Don't let the door hit ya.

    Kirksey could've come out with a classier tweet, no?

    Like what ? Thank you for firings me ? His comment was just self motivation after getting fired. Nothing wrong with that.

  • Hooray.. Mike Pettine gets his man..

  • .. and he got him at a discount to his prior contract...

    He's only a bargain if he stays healthy.... Now watch him play all 16 games this year....

    IMO, you couldn't let Schobert AND Kirskey go. We literally created more holes on defense at linebacker and safety due to not re-signing people. Those are two very important positions, right? And you can't fill them both in the draft.

    Kirksey gone.  (but lost to injury all year)

    Schobert...seems to be gone

    Burris....gone

    Murray.....gone

    Randall......FA....could be gone.

  • FA Linebackers still out there:

    DeVondre Campbell....Falcons

    Blake Martinez.....Packers

    Corey Littleton...Rams

    Dante Fowler....Rams

    Can any of these be adequate replacements for SChobert and Kirksey?

    Kirksey has been gone for two seasons.

    I am not asking that.  I am asking for two guys to replace two.  

    And, as many have said, we haven't had Kirko as a productive member of this team for like 2 years, so, no, it is really just someone to replace Schobert.   Mack Wilson essentially replaced Kirksey last year.

    Right now, on the depth chart......it is Takitaki taki-ing over for Joe.
