Nothing released yet. So it hasn’t happened.

Hang them! Wasn’t that how Hitler came into his absolute power? How soon we forget. We deserve the leaders we have. But yeah Biden.

Berry is very good at getting numbers to help with the cap.

Good signing.

Now it's time to focus on building an O - Line and a monster WR

You're not wrong, but my point is that you'd need an Andrew Luck type QB to have any type of success with this supporting cast, starting with the pass protectors. We really should get 2 starting OTs... but we gotta get at least 1 (LT) in this upcoming draft. I'm going to assume, even with the inevitable cap manipulation that's coming, we still won't have the space to make any splashy signings after retaining our FAs that we want to keep. Starter-caliber LTs aren't generally found too far outside the top half of the first round.

Not as far as I'm concerned but I'm guessing the answer you would get to that question may depend heavily on who you ask.

At this point in time it appears to many Republicans it may be considered a ring of honor if that counts.

Details of Alex Wright's contract extension with Cleveland Browns revealed

The Cleveland Browns worked out a new contract extension for one of their bright young spots on defense. These are the details.

The Cleveland Browns have been a stellar defensive team despite their 2-8 record.

A huge bright spot has been defensive end Alex Wright, who has three sacks and 17 total tackles this season.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Browns landed a three-year extension worth $33 million with Wright that includes $21 million guaranteed. The deal was negotiated by Wright's agents Drew Rosenhaus and Shawn O’Dare.

The Browns selected Wright with the No. 78 overall selection in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He was entering the last few games of his rookie contract, but Browns general manager Andrew Berry ensured that he would be with the organization moving forward.

Wright was a bit of a sleeper prospect coming out of UAB. But he received playing time right away as a rookie, compiling 13 total tackles in 2022.

In 2023, Wright popped off the page during Cleveland’s run to the NFL Playoffs. He had 16 total tackles and added five big sacks during his second season in the league. In 2024, Wright was placed on the injured reserve with torn triceps during Week 4 and finished the season with just one sack.

But in 2025, Wright assumed a bigger role in Jim Schwartz’s defense. He has started four games on the opposite side of Myles Garrett and already has three sacks with seven games remaining on Cleveland’s schedule.

Schwartz deploys defensive tackles rotationally. But whenever Wright is in the game, his presence is felt. When the Browns traded Joe Tyron-Shoyinka to the Chicago Bears at the NFL trade deadline for a late-round pick swap, it was evident that the team was comfortable with Wright in his increased role moving forward.

While anybody would look good playing alongside Garrett, the Browns have been seeking a long-term fit on the other side of their defensive line since he was drafted back in 2017.

Wright might not have the big name notoriety like Oliver Vernon or Jadeveon Clowney did, but his consistent production warranted this contract extension.

Still just 25 year-old, the Browns will have Wright locked up through his prime years in the NFL. He will be set to hit unrestricted free agency when he turns 28, which would give the Browns an opportunity to extend him again or move on if they believe that his best football is behind him.

In Schwartz’s defensive ecosystem headlined by Garrett, there is almost no debate that Cleveland is an environment that Wright can continue to thrive in with this new contract.

Per SI

"I only hire the best people." - Donald Trump

You mean to tell me the fake news media reported that!?

Kinda like his tax returns were under audit. lol Text book Trump.

I thought I was specific when I asked which 2020 rookie GM has proven better than Berry in your opinion.

In my opinion, drafting a project quarterback in the third round or later is simply a project. If you can obtain a backup caliber quarterback, you struck gold. If you cannot establish anything during their rookie contract and trade away to recoup the lost draft capital, it was a worthy pick.

To say the worst quarterback talent evaluator on a mid to late round player is mind-blowing. Percentages clearly indicate that the success rate at any position drafted in the mid to late rounds is in the single digits.

not operating well for me, either..mac

Way to go Brian.

Trump says he would be 'OK' launching strikes in Mexico to fight drug smuggling

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has repeatedly said U.S. military action in the country without her permission won't happen.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump opened the door Monday to launching U.S. strikes in Mexico, a move that would be a dramatic escalation of his administration’s fight against drug cartels.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump answered a question about potentially striking Mexico or sending American troops or other personnel into the country by saying it would be “OK with me."

“Would I launch strikes in Mexico to stop drugs? OK with me, whatever we have to do to stop drugs. Mexico is — look, I looked at Mexico City over the weekend. There’s some big problems over there,” Trump said after he was asked whether he was considering such action.

Asked whether he would conduct strikes only with Mexico’s permission, Trump said he “wouldn’t answer that question.” He added that he has been speaking with the country, adding that Mexico knows “how I stand.”

“We’ve stopped the waterways, but we know every route. We know every route, we know the addresses of every drug lord,” Trump said. “We know their address, we know their front door. We know everything about every one of them. They’re killing our people. That’s like a war. Would I do it? I’d be proud to.”

The Mexican Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

NBC News reported this month that the Trump administration has begun planning for a new campaign in which the United States would send American troops and intelligence officers to Mexico to target drug cartels. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has repeatedly said U.S. military action in Mexico without her permission will not happen.

In the middle of answering the question about Mexico, Trump pivoted to talk about Colombia, saying he would be "proud" to dismantle cocaine factories in the country.

“We have nobody coming into our southern border, but we know exactly how they get their things here. How they get the drugs here. Fentanyl, cocaine,” Trump said. “Colombia is — has cocaine factories, where they make cocaine. Would I knock out those factories? I would be proud to do it, personally.”

The Colombian Embassy in Washington did not immediately provide a comment on Trump's remarks.

The Trump administration has launched nearly two dozen strikes on boats allegedly carrying narcotics in the region and near Venezuela, killing more than 80 people, including Colombian citizens.

The strikes led leftist Colombian President Gustavo Petro to denounce the Trump' administration’s actions and to a subsequent diplomatic rift between Petro and Trump. Trump has called Petro a “drug leader,” and the United States took the unusual move of sanctioning him.

Trump said Sunday he was considering talks with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro amid the U.S. decision to ramp up pressure in the region, including by designating the Cartel de los Soles, which the administration alleges is run by Maduro, as a foreign terrorist organization.

Asked Monday in the Oval Office whether he would rule out troops on the ground in Venezuela, Trump said no.

"I don't rule out anything. We just have to take care of Venezuela," he said.

Makes you wonder if Pardons are worth the paper they are printed on.

True. A woman in my community here had a heart transplant when she was 13. She’s 28 now and her heart is shutting down and there’s nothing that can be done , so I’ve heard.

I’d forgotten Kenny Easley over the years but reading that story about his career, he was a stud.

My thoughts all day have been with Bernie Kosar.

Courage and grace he is a testimonial for being positive.

All day I have been checking on his liver transplant which took place at 5:00 AM.

He has been fighting for his life for quite some time.

Finally:

“Hey, I’m out and I’m feeling good,” Kosar said in a video from his hospital bed. “Just ready to enjoy the rest of the week and the rest of our lives. You matter.”

"Keep it going Bernie you matter."

Somehow he seems to think that most Americans can live and at the same time "sacrifice for a few years to put $40-50K down."

I don't know what to tell you.

I saw that.

He had a remarkable long life. No need for sadness, only celebration.

Nope, I didn't switch parties in 2008. What I did was vote for a candidate of the party I was not part of. I've done that all my life. I've always voted for the candidate not the party,

But you go ahead and think you know stuff that simply are wrong about.

For the record I became a Democrat in 2016...

Oh, and yea, I was complaining about Insurance... YOu would have too if you were self employed back then like I was. I have to pick up the tab for the wife and I and it was nutty expensive..... So yeah, I complained.

Then have your wife order it.

Trumps entire game plan is to outlast Carroll... Not sure he can. But SCOTUS needs to recuse itself from all cases involving Trump... They have demonstrated Bias at about every turn.

Nope-not even close
