    If he was willing to take a discount, he would have already done it. You know it had to be offered already.

     I fear that's the case. But there's always a chance that the fishing isn't all that good as a free agent and the 2 sides can come together in some way to allow him to save face.

    I think we have eyes on the draft here, but I hope you are right.

     I wish we wouldn't have had to eat so much of the contract by cutting OBJ

     I really don't think hes necessary.

    Totally agree. We did far better without him since it caused Baker to become a real QB searching for all receivers.

    Might that be a reason why the cut was so late in coming? Other possible suitors having already spent their big FA $, thus the possibility of his return by accepting the offer from the Browns?

    If we didn't have OBJ, we would be needing someone just like him....and  Baker would probably be looking for that guy.   So, I see a non-issue there.

    The Browns waited until today, three months since their season ended, to release Sheldon Richardson. $12 million salary in "contract" turns to dust, most teams done spending. Cold business.

    Shocking news... and not just because we just really downgraded our DT rotation. The above tweet nails it.

    This is the type of move UFAs remember when it comes time to pick an employer.

    That said.... a resign at a lower price tag would not shock me. I can't help but believe we were trying to restructure SR's contract and he wasn't interested in doing so.

    Now? Even if he carries a grudge, if his choice to get paid only 60 or 70% of what he was slated to make or "retire" then we could see him return.

  • “As a coach, I want to keep everybody, [but] there are some salary cap constraints that I think everybody understands and they are hard decisions,’' he said. “Sheldon in particular played really productive football for us. He played through injuries, and he took great pride in getting to the playoffs for the first time in his career. He was a big part of that. I hope there’s a scenario [where he can come back]..."

    .......... some of us do too coach.
