Does Burfict play special teams? I'm asking because I don't know. Last year Burfict played six total special team snaps. In 2014 he played four total special team snaps. In 2013 he played sixty-six special team snaps. In 2012 he played seventy-two special teams snaps. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/snapcounts

Burfict also can't cover anybody.
(Burfict was also a known headcase who was out of shape coming out of college.) Yet some people bitched and moaned because we didn't draft him, and some people now bitch because we drafted Scooby 
I AM ALWAYS RIGHT... except when I am wrong.

Both are different types of players IMO. Burfict would have went day 1/2 if it werent for character issues.

j/c...
Scooby made the only INT that was mentioned in Hue's presser...supposedly he had his coverage blanketed and Kessler still tried to hit his target which Scooby didn't just break it up but INT'd it.
Means nothing in the long run except possibly some here who say HE CAN'T EVER be considered a 3 down LB because of coverage could very well be WRONG. Talk is cheap lets see how this kid learns and produces.
Fact is he was the 14th draft pick for us - he has a long road ahead. First things first, he has to kick butt on ST if he wants to stick!

Ricky Stanzi, QB? Info? I missed this one and he was mentioned in presser with Hue (?).
How does he fit this group?
PS Found some of his info for past NFL. Anybody got insight. Liked that he is local-ish to Cleveland.

He's been with five teams, guy is like, 29. He's either the next Kurt Warner or the next Ricky Stanzi.

Hue basically admitted he's just a camp arm a few days ago ... he'll be released without question
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Jeudy is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Tillman is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Ford are split in the backfield as Flacco takes the snap ... Here we go."

Oh yeah, maybe it's a situation they bring him in to throw to the receivers, pay him a few bucks and if he wants to, he gets a foot in the door to be an option or if he wants to coach down the road.

I would love to this guy to Cleveland-----Zach Mettenberger waived by Titans
A two-year starter in college, the 6-foot-5-inch, 224-pound right-hander possesses the toughness, competitiveness and arm strength to succeed at the pro level.

I would have questions about a guy who couldn't beat out Matt Cassell to be the back-up.... maybe they just wanted experience in their back-up?

If not we will need to make room on the roster as we sign the rest of our draft picks. Not that I see a problem there.

A two-year starter in college, the 6-foot-5-inch, 224-pound right-hander possesses the toughness, competitiveness and arm strength to succeed at the pro level. Ugh. No .... please! This is a guy who was made by the fact that he could just throw the ball in the general direction of Odell Beckham Jr and Landry Jones, and they would reel it in. He wasn't especially accurate, but as long as it got near them, it was good. (He wasn't inaccurate all the time, but his receivers made many really good to spectacular catches on numerous occasions) The guy makes me look fast by comparison, he seem to have little feel in the pocket, and has a long, slow delivery. No thanks.

According to multiple sources including Browns staff writer Andrew Gribble and ProFootballTalk, the Browns have claimed kicker Jaden Oberkrom of TCU. I like this signing. He can kick.

Yes claimed him off waivers, originally signed as UDFA by Jaguars.
Jags waived him to add Jeff Linkenbach to their OL depth.

If we got him I might puke. Hey Tony: Should Hue take a shot at [Zach] Mettenberger? He fits the mold needed to be an AFC North QB. -- Rob, Columbus, Ohio Hey Rob: Mettenberger has AFC North size (6-foot-5, 236) and a strong arm. But he has no mobility, as he plays the position in cement shoes, and thus is a sack/fumble waiting to happen. I’ll pass, thanks. hmm...yea I'll wish him on our division rivals instead
I bet you're wondering the samething I did, why O' why didn't I take the...blue pill

Reserve/Retired– The retired list is what players are placed upon if they choose to retire rather than honor their contracts. This is more procedural than anything else. The player does not count towards the roster nor do they carry any cap charges as contracts are treated just as if the player was cut for salary cap purposes with prorated bonus money accelerating and being included as “dead money”. Teams do maintain the rights to players on the retired list.
