DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Browns to sign Kenny Britt WR

"They won't pay anyone! They won't pay anyone!"

*They pay someone*

"They paid the wrong guy! They paid the wrong guy!"

Maybe Pryor was asking for unreasoanble amounts of money

he just barely broken 1,000 yards with only 4 TD. Thats not game breaking stats.

I said before i'd offer Pryor 6-7 mill per, which would be very generous offer. I think Pryor has gotten to enamored with his own press clippings...Pryor got flat out punked and Shut Down by Pacman Jones in a divisional game....

There is some good receivers coming out of the draft.

This also signals to me that Josh Gordon is going to get reinstated, and we have him on his rookie contract still for 2 years if im not mistaken....If Gordon does get re-instated, everyone will see what a true bonafide #1 stud receiver looks like, and its not Pryor.

Gordon caught like 1300 yards and double digit touchdowns with trash at QB...broke records for receiving yards in a single game....i mean...the disparity in talent between Gordon and Pryor is nuts...Gordon is bonafide #1 franchise receiver talent, Pryor is a good #2 probably at best. it is what it is.

Compared to what he made it had to be significant ... JMHO

I think its safe to say its at least what we are giving to Britt which is pretty close to fair market value for Pryor.

We've got a BUTTLOAD of cap room. Signing Pryor to a 8 or 9 mil deal is still very possible. Given the fact that there's no early news on Pryor, I think we can imply that no one is throwing insane-o top 5 money at him because HE"S NOT A TOP 5 WR.

I'm still worried that we lose him but I don't want to go stupid. I mean, when I saw the deal the Bears laid out for Mike Glennon I damn near died laughing.

Vince Young, Jake locker, Nick foles, case keenum, Jared Goff. Guys kessler is probably the best QB he'll catch from....

For real though on that note while he isn't a stud and Pryor is clearly more gifted he has been browns level unlucky on the qbs he's played with. I'd like to see what he could do with a real one. And no that was not an endorsement for kessler.

Do you think D. Jackson is worth that kind of money?

On April 12, 2011, Britt was arrested in New Jersey on three counts (including a felony) following an alleged car chase with police. The charges were later reduced.[11] On June 7, Britt pleaded guilty to careless driving and was fined.[12] On June 8, 2012, Britt was arrested in Hoboken, New Jersey, charged with resisting arrest.[13] In May 2014, a sex video briefly appeared on Britt's Instagram. The Rams announced they were looking into the incident.[14]

Top 5 money? No - but he's likely on the verge of it.

Here's a question Mac. Should we have paid Pryor 12+ Mil a year to stay? I want to keep him as well but has he done enough to get an open chequebook from us?

He hasn't signed anywhere yet so the Browns could come out of this looking smart. I mean, I understand the odds are against that because...well, we're the Browns...but it COULD happen.

I guess my point is that it's a liquid market.

Yeah it absolutely is...and its a competitive system that encourages overpaying.

I just don't want us rampantly overpaying for Pryor. Does he get a premium? Sure...why not...we have the room. Do we suddenly pay him 12+ a year? I hope not.

Honestly, I was hoping we'd franchise him for the year, let him prove his worth a little more and work out a 3 or 4 year deal.

For reference Kenny stills all so signed for 8 per. No homerism I'll take Britt all day.

I'm going to say that this deal was done because Pryor already has offers higher then what the Browns are willing to pay.

Ok,, they haven't signed him yet, and already everyone is going nuts... LOL This is a funny place

I forgot all about those issues.

To be fair, neither do you. I don't think the Britt money was the contract offered TP. Britt is getting basicall 8 mil a year if you simply do a even breakdown. I am sure a good deal in upfront to not impact later years all that much.

My guess is we went at Pryor with 38-40 mil over 4 years.

IMO, I'd rather not have Britt than sign him (especially to that deal)

He's a below average WR. He's gotta be laughing to the freaking bank this morning.

Plus, that shows we either: A. won't re-sign Pryor or B. think last year's rookie WRs suck

Ut-oh....

I think the contrary. The fact that there's been no early news about Pryor makes me think that teams are walking away from the number he's looking for.

BELOW AVERAGE?

Seriously, the self-loathing on this board is reaching new levels.

He really is below average IMO

We just signed Joel Bitonio to a monster ext. There is a post on here about it....

I want Pryor back as well, but by franchising him, you are setting a base price for the contract extension. The Steelers were interested in him and said, "not at the 10 + million asking price." So why is a bad deal for the Steelers a FANFRIGGENTASTIC deal for the Browns? I'm sure Pittsburg can use his talents as well, if not better than the Browns can.

As I said .. I want Pryor back, but not overpay through the nose as some people on here seem to want.

Consistently put up about 700 yards a year despite having little to work with at QB. Last year broke a 1000 with the RAMS. Has size to beat the press. Runs a 4.5 at 215.

Yep, he's trash.

If Britt is below average...what does that make Pryor?

Blurb at the end of the PD article on Britt say Pryor is asking for 15million...lmao, let someone else make that mistake

"A source told cleveland.com that Pryor was asking for elite receiver money, possibly even as much as $15 million a year."

Fair point....but my thought is that it gives the opportunity to have a bigger body of work to judge from. If he has another good, but not great season, he's now 29 and you can reasonably judge his development curve a bit better and make the appropriate offer. If he has a massive season, you pay the man top 5 money.

Franchise tag would have bought us time in a year that we easily could have afforded it.

Kenny Britt

6-foot-3, 223-pound, 28 years old, 4.5 sec 40 yd dash. 1000 yds receiving from poor QBs, avg 16 yds per reception.

This sounds like a replacement for Pryor to me.

To some it seems that if we don't over pay him to stay, setting the precedent for future negotiations to also over pay, means the front office failed and the owner should be run out of town.

He's the prettiest ugly girl at closing time, nothing more.

It's ALWAYS about money mac. IF you don't keep a consistent eye on it, you end up in cap hell. IF you don't think that, screw it...let's give EVERYONE top five money. C'mon now.

Yes, we gave Collins a great deal because he's got an established track record. Pryor doesn't have that yet. That's why I really thought we'd franchise him for a year to see how he developed in year 2.

I'd bet we certainly didn't low ball Pryor on the first offer either. I'm sure it was AT LEAST what we gave Britt.

If money wasn't an issue for Pryor he'd be signed. Him saying he wants to play in Cleveland is NO different than Britt. It's "Show me the money" and if you think otherwise your mistaken.

I want to see us sign TP as much as anyone but if we offer a fair deal and he turns it down that is not the FO fault. It has to be right for both sides. Signing him to a huge amount just to sign him is not fair to our FO or other players on the team.
