I just see his dad making noise haha. A circus.

Sitting absolutely makes sense, just hardly happens these days

Certainly could be a circus because of sitting behind Flacco.

Cousins doesn't excite me at all

You know The Browns only paid Flacco 4 million, That is back up money and i believe a huge bluff directed towards the falcons (as in we are not gonna give you what you want for Cousins) so I would AssuMe that the price will come way down after the draft or even after the 1st round, So do not be surprised if Cousins is starting for us week 0ne

So it's looks like we're taking Travis Hunter at #2, but will we take a QB at #33?

Dart, Milroe, and Tyler Shough all visited the Browns this week. All three will need time to develop and will not be week 1 or first half of the season starters. Dart is probably gone by #33, so unless we trade up it would be Milroe or Shough?

I wouldn't mind - #2 Travis Hunter, #33 Dart/Milroe/Shough, #67 Quinshon Judkins - I would love to have Chubb back but we need some RB depth even if we re-sign him, he just may never be the same and we need a running game.

Flacco with Dart/Milroe/Shough developing behind him - WR1 Hunter, WR2 Jeudy, WR3 Tillman, TE Njoku, RB Chubb/Judkins/Ford with a hopefully revamped and healthy o-line.

Wouldn't they have to cut or trade either Pickett or Flacco if Cousins is brought in?

We know they can't cut DW due to cap purposes. He will most likely be on IR, so that doesn't count towards the 53 man roster.

Pickett, Flacco, unknown rookie ( we think). That's how I see it anyway.

They can but most teams usually don't.

Well, since they seem to be allergic to LBs maybe you're right lol

Watson will be on a designation of some kind all year. So they can carry 3.

Right. Rather than carry 4 QB's. (Watson not included in this scenario)

...but they just traded for Pickett and gave Flacco 4 mil.

Sweet. Run it back.

Is this what excited Garrett? Lol.

I was thinking about this the other day ironically... "Why did Garrett sign back so willingly"... It can't be because of Flacco naturally.... There has to be a secret trade and sign deal set up with someone,,, It's about the only thing that makes it all make sense... ..

Well with Flacco we just screwed ourselves out of the tanking run for Longhorn.??

Good signing. I was not happy when we let him go last year. I think we would have won several more games than we did if we had Flacco.

Whatever QB we draft can sit and learn from Joe instead of being thrown in as a rookie (hopefully).

McShay was running through a scenario today where the Browns draft Hunter at #2 and then trade up into the middle of the first to get his teammate Sanders.

That would be a bold move, Cotton.

Had best invest heavily in fixing the Oline and running game now. But it's nice to see old Joe.

I hope we do shore up the line but Joe took far fewer sacks than Watson did behind our walking wounded line.

I think all the reasons he gave for staying were rehearsed for both he and the team. He stayed because he and his team figured out they had no leverage in my opinion.
