Well I just got my season ticket invoice....Browns raised my seats $200 to $1804 (from $1604). Of course, the $4 is for "processing" the order. Maybe they're paying Landry with the increases ?
Yup, we also got our invoice today... 10% price increase.... Keeping up with inflation.
The pay up or else keeps getting earlier and earlier. The installment plans keep getting worse by the year too... Used to be 5 pay, now it's apparently down to 2 payments. Or... Nah, I'm not making payments for the 2023 season starting in September of 2022.
Looking at the blurb from WKYC, they're not dinging folks up in the nosebleeds nearly as bad as us denizens in the 100 level. They didn't publicly announce it, but I'm willing to bet the premium in between the 30s, 100 level seats are approaching $200 a ticket, if they're not already there. Not so long ago, that was Club Seat prices. For sure, those prices will keep the riffraff out of the preferred seating.

Yes, I'm in the 1st row of 536, so I didn't get hit as hard as the lower bowl. My thing is, the prices increased $300 on mine for 2021, so that's $500 increase in just two seasons (I have a pair of seats).
To be fair (& it's hard given the economy, pandemic stuff we all went through) the Browns didn't jack up prices for quite a few seasons, probably because of a 38-122 record from 2008-2017. But please don't do it again anytime soon.
One of my friends who moved here from Austin, Tx may have had a point. He told me our fan base is still snakebit from the 1995 move, and we are basically hostages to the team & NFL now. He also said Haslam could increase tickets $1000/season & we'd still pay it. Maybe he's right...just a different perspective on things.

Ouch! You have my empathy.

They need to dump Hooper and keep Njoku if they can.
Clowney just strikes me as one of those guys that if you pay up for a multi year deal he sits back and takes it easy.
I suspect we're stuck with Hooper 2022. $11 million dead cap hit.
Why has his (and others) OBJ, Landry's production gone south? Hmmm Baker?
Yes, and Landry wants to stay. I'm all for that, with a restructured contract.

I'm not sure if you watched Hooper much, but that guy dropped more passes that hit him in both hands than anybody I've ever seen.
Berry's worst signing by far.

I want to retain Walker and Ronnie Harrison this year. played well last season

Walker played tentative last year. Looked like he was shot out of a cannon at times for the Colts but consistently a step behind for us and I thought below average in pass coverage.
Ronnie Harrison it could be argued pretty easily was our worst starter on defense last year. It was the stupid plays and penalties he made and the plays he didn’t make…one in particular there was a key 4th down play in the Charger game they are backed up in their own territory and the Chargers go for it…watch his run fill on the play.

I had a feeling feeling his numbers were going down, i was wrong his numbers are WAY DOWN from his glory years of 2018, 2019. And when guys get stone hands their targets go way down too. You can't trust them any more.
