League source told http://cleveland.com that Pryor was getting set to meet with #Bears today but is signing with #Browns instead

Hope he wrecks the league. If true, welcome aboard. Soooo, he and Bowe are almost in a dead heat then for production, right?

Who goes?

I guess at this point in time, whats the harm?

SuperBowl!

UGGGGHHHHH we could've BEEN signed this dude.

Can't hurt at all...

McCown to IR would be my guess

ehh.... for what??

#2 QB ofcorse, davis starts.

lol, why not.

#2 QB over Johnny

Fills 2 holes, really.
If Josh goes to IR, we have a 3rd string emergency QB.

It seems as if the rest of our WRs have concussions.

I'm anxious to see a bubble screen or something for him.

personally, i would've signed him and that kid Lintz or whatever after the preseason.

let's say hypothetically, Bowe actually produced(lol).

i'd STILL sign those two. they knew bowe and turbin we're recovering from injuries. you sign these guys, then cut them loose once bowe and turbin were healthy, IF they weren't producing.

i'm not saying our season would've changed. not at all.

but if Pryor produces, that's a hole we don't need to fill at the WR spot.

that's all i'm saying. i dunno if these last few games is enough to know or not if we need to draft a WR in the second round.

cause IMO, its either Goff or Bosa with our first pick.

I'm having totally unreasonable thoughts of Pryor becoming an effective WR and having Josh Gordon back next year. We could go from having the smallest WRs in the league to some of the largest (I think TB still wins with VJax and Evans).

L M A O.

As they showed Dwayne Bowe standing around, all but retired on the sideline, I thought to myself, "we cut Pryor why, again?" And here they go and sign him. Good. I don't love Terrelle Pryor but my god, how much more obvious can it be that we have exactly one half-ways decent WR and a TE who thank goodness came out of nowhere to have a nice year.

I don't think it was out of nowhere.... he's simply a solid TE who got lost in the shadow and (misplaced) hype of Cameron.

Clusterintercourse.

Hahaha ha-ha! We're saved!

We were just biding our time in making this move.

Why only a one year deal?

Now if Pryor somehow performs great he will be a free agent this off-season.

oh noes! We'll again have to fight off all of the nobody that was trying to sign him away from us.



The only reason he is even getting any looks right now is that it is REALLY late in the season and teams are REALLY banged up.

If we sign Pryor, does he take McCown's spot (IR) or do we cut Bowe? I see no reason keeping Bowe on the roster at this point. He's not contributing...

Even still.

I have been against having Pryor on the roster more than anyone. There is like a 1% chance of him being good. But we should have protected our own interests.

Which is virtually 1% better than what Bowe presents...

True.

I swear I can hear the twilight zone theme and the thread title in Rod Serling's voice...

anyway, I'm with swish. Shoulda kept this guy around.

McCown is done for the season, so that opens the spot we need. We don't need to do anything else.

Bowe probably will not get released during the season, at all. As a vested veteran, we're on the hook for his money anyway, so we're going to keep him and use him as a body.

I have to say that I think this is wrong and he should be released so we can at least bring in somebody that wants to try to play the game, but that would cost us more money for a mistake that is already too pricey at a point in the season where it really just doesn't matter any more.... there's very little to gain from doing it.

At this point we should be playing every inexperienced guy we have.

Once Bitonio is back, move Erving to center and Mack to the bench.

Pryor over should get plenty of snaps.

If Gilbert is not too concussed, then he should play every defensive snap.

Manziel at QB.

Bibbs should be playing a ton.

Campbell over Whitner.

Cooper should be playing.

Desir over Trammon Williams.

Etc, etc.

If Pettine doesn't want to play the young guys, fire him now and hire an interim coach who will.

about time.

But in the long run does $9m hurt someone like Haslam? We have to pay the guy anyway, I agree we should just let him go and bring in someone who wants to at least try.

The $9 million is already gone no matter what.

I really don't understand how Bowe has lasted this long.

Marlon Moore is playing over him.

The whole team is just one big missed message.

I should point out that my post assumes McCown is going to IR; he is not on IR - yet.

So... I don't know what our roster count was at before signing Pryor, but if we were at 53, then there is likely another roster move still coming later today.

Seriously.... it needs to be Bowe.

My guess is Manziel starts the rest of the year, and Pryor is getting a tryout at the same time as offering a big target for Manziel.

If he can catch one bubble screen and break 1 tackle, he will officially pass Bowe's production this year.

Easy now dudes.....Pryor said he's decided to try Field Goal Kicking.

Thank you... I needed the laugh.

He's an average TE with a high usage rate. I'm not even sure if I'd call him "Good" yet. Trent Richardson did the exact same thing.

I've said it before and I'll repeat it now... he's basically a Steve Heiden clone. Nothing super-flashy... he's just solid.

On a team without many other options, he stands out because he just does his job even though there's nobody to draw attention away from him. If nothing else, THAT says a lot, I think.
