Pat Shurmer’s offense also doesn’t need a running back.

I don’t know anything about this guy other than his stat sheet. Anyone ever watch him play?

Murray and Burress don’t exactly scream “Superbowl”. Burress was struggling just to be on a roster earlier in the season, but played his way into a full time NFL backup job with his play. He may be a starter eventually.

Sheldrick Redwine and J.T. Hassell are the safetys on the roster. So maybe you could say we don’t have a single starting caliber safety on the roster.

What does this signing mean?

Here is what I think:

We needed a solid backup who could win if Baker gets hurt and also someone who knows Stefanski’s offense and can help Baker out. Now we also have the option of having Keenum go into a game if Baker is throwing interceptions like last year.

I like this signing a lot. It makes a lot of sense.…[Read more]

Id shock the world and trade up for Simmons.

You’re an idiot.

So Soup, I guess you don’t like this move either?

For me it will all depend on who he is replaced with. It isn’t like he was a stud though.

A 2nd round tender means that if another team signed him to an offer sheet, we have the right to match it and if we decide not to then we get a 2nd rounder in return.

Unless he gets a huge contract, I feel like we will keep him. We will have a very dynamic offense next year. I need to temper my excitement but I like what they are doing on…[Read more]

The Browns have a lot of money invested in the offensive line. I like this move. This will solidify the RT position for the next 4 years.

This move alone is going to help Chubb improve on what was a pretty amazing season.

No one can sit here and say The Browns cut players to save money. They cut players to spend money elsewhere.

Watch out for our offense this year. This is a good start. Having a sure handed TE is needed in Stefanski’s offense.

I guess the money we saved by cutting a few players is being spent and not for Haslem to just sit and save it. Now maybe there will be less complaining.

I saw a news item saying we were ‘interested’ earlier.

Kirksey just signed with the Packers. Good.

Was Berry in charge when the Browns were 1-31. Did Berry want Hue Jackson as head coach. What say did he actually have in the decisions on players drafted?
The only one I know for sure is he didn’t want Hue Jackson as head coach.
I will not blame him for the Browns dismal record when I don’t know exactly what voice he had.
The thing that will…[Read more]

Berry has said that the Browns plan to be very aggressive in free agency.

Ice, I never thought about it from that perspective. I am not sure it would play much of a part considering the vast majority of players will go where the money is. You never really know though.

The Browns have REPEATEDLY said analytics is just one more tool in the tool box and not the be all end all but some people refuse to accept that and make their own decisions based completely on a misunderstanding of how it will be used.

If its 4th and 1 from the 27, analytics will tell you throwing a ball into the end zone doesn’t have much of a…[Read more]

I was thinking more from a recruiting standpoint.

I don’t think him being the NFLPA President will have any bearing on how he plays.

Kirksey would have been gone regardless of who the GM was. He misses way too much playing time to be reliable.
I would expect the Browns to sign 2 LBs in free agency and draft one.
No team can fill every hole every year. You prioritize needs and do what you can.
If Kirksey had not had so many missed games I would be upset. He played in 7 games in…[Read more]
