Man, that sucks for Myles. 

Yep and I knew it was not anything of a "morals" nature. The guy is as clean cut a person as you'd ever want to meet in life. He's very involved in a lot of community activities and very close to family. Hope his family member is recovering.

Anyone know why Myles Garrett has missed the last three days of practice?

Haven't printed anything in ages (is that still a thing?), but I have mentioned the SB a couple of times. My fandom of the Browns comes with a desire to win. This is opposed to @nickers, who relishes to be all doom and gloom, and then say: "I told you so" when we don't win. God forbid we actually do win it all. He will be cowering in the corner, murmuring: "this wasn't supposed to happen." 

I just accept the reality that is the Clowns... They "NEVER" get it right...

When have the Browns acquired a top 5 QB in the past? 

And once again, who exactly on here has been "printing Super Bowl tickets" since Watson was traded for?

On paper... Remember how that has worked out in the past,,?

@korsou-dawg said:

While we agree on that, your previous comment referred to both Watson and the SB. The QB is the most impactful position to achieve the latter, so whether you like it or not, Watson is the best bet the Browns have had on winning it all. Possibly ever.

Coming back to the team part, that is the very reason I am still positive about the DW trade. Browns roster is pretty stacked all around. Both lines, running backs, secondary, receivers. Weakest position group is probably linebackers, even though JOK is hugely talented. This is on purpose though, as the moneyballers who run the Browns don't rate LB's. 

Given the aforementioned strength of the squad, and elite talent like Garrett, Chubb and Ward being in their prime, if you are ever going to take a swing at a trade for a Top 5 QB, now is the time!

Is there a team with 1a 1b type battle for their Center position that we can make a deal? 

I thought the Ravens with Linderbaum being drafted there? But they look to have no-one of interest behind him..

I'm starting to see the AB/Browns verse the angry NFL suits maybe becoming real...

* our last trades.. included draft picks with his former understudy at Minn.. Saints? AB has dealt with on a few times.. The Lions he's worked a QB(Blaugh) trade & some picks with..Bill's Patriots Mack Wilson for Wino..seems like forever ago..*

Today AB put OL E.Nkansah on IR... And worked out & signed a cut OL from Monday  https://brownswire.usatoday.com/2022/08/17/browns-waive-receiver-sign-a-non-center-offensive-lineman/

well..he's not tried to play Center with 7 teams...

AB's got to get real from cuts to 80 to 53...  Trade's with angry (GM's) and position battle losses should come shortly (we'd hope)

Comparing the impact of a C on a team's performance to a QB? You cannot be serious.

Love it how people print SB tickets soon as they hear Watson's name then realize shit.. It takes a whole team when you lose your starting then backup center lol...

Stefanski said “personal leave of absence” was the official reason given.

I'm pretty sure he's down in Carolina teaching Baker how to get the ball to McCaffrey while singing 50 ways to leave your lover cal.?

https://sports.yahoo.com/browns-rookie-ol-dawson-deaton-021442340.html

A seventh-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of Texas Tech, Deaton likely now looks ahead to 2023, after spending his entire rookie season rehabbing from the knee injury.

Last Day of Camp with fans.. https://www.brownszone.com/2022/08/16/training-camp-log-day-14-kevin-stefanski-says-fans-were-outstanding-during-camp/

Update on rookie DE I.Thomas 

#Browns rookie DE Isaiah Thomas has cast on right hand. Kevin Stefanski said he’d miss a few days.

.@YorkCade kicked his way into our Maurice Bassett Award (Top Rookie Camp award=28 of 30 FG's) 

A total of 69 puppies were adopted this year at the Browns Puppy Pound. ?

Day was an almost inevitable cut because he was NFI with a back injury and out all of camp.

Don't care if it Tretter or someone else, but we have a hole to plug at C. Time to use some of that cap space!

True, but I’m thinking of looking at it from Roger’s perspective.

I'll admit, them taking their sweet time announcing their new decision that has been in the bag from the second Goodell said "Uh, thanks but no thanks" to the six game original suspension is such sweet icing to this shit cake that's been baking since March 18th.  

@dutch-oven said:

That is an interesting angle regarding Tretter and the Browns. 

Then again, if the Browns want Watson to play, perhaps getting the NFLPA President is exactly who you want on your side? 

True, but I’m thinking of looking at it from Roger’s perspective.

At this point it’s all speculation, because I think Roger has already made up his mind.

 I’m sure the other NFL owners want to hang Haslam from the highest tree.
