because his "top" wr is childish, but we did sign a 1000 yd wr..oh and he had more TD's

Tons of ammo to move for our preferred QB, either in this draft, or someone else's backup.

We could use 1 and 12, and maybe trade into the 20s in the 1st using 2 of those future 2nds and a lower pick or 2. We could load up in this draft and still have future assets to use.

Alshon Jeffery signed with Philly for a 1 year 14 million dollar deal

No, I didn't say that.

However, you've been griping non stop about the Browns not tossing him whatever he wants.

Has he signed anywhere mac? If not, quit griping - that means the Browns are still in it for him.

Might the Browns lose him? Yup.

And I might win the lottery tonight.

Here's a thought - instead of griping about not having signed Pryor yet, how about we wait and see what happens with Pryor?

Teams already have reached out to Browns to inquire about Brock Osweiler's availability, per team sources.

WOW !!!! That'd be amazing.

Getting anything better than a 6th and this move would be amazing.

Yep.

I wonder how Sashi is "looking" today to his detractors?

I gotta admit, today has been entertaining. Every time I check my phone I'm pumping my fist, or in the Osweiler case, laughing.

Here's for going into next season with the quarterbacks we have and going all in for our guy in the draft next year.

The Browns reportedly just spent more than $100M to completely retool their O-line

The Browns entered the 2017 NFL offseason with a pile of money (north of $100 million in cap space) and not much talent on the roster. Cleveland has taken immediate steps to curb the latter by using the former, unleashing a firehose of money in the direction of some quality offensive linemen.

No one is going to guarantee that spending in free agency equates to quality spending, but the Browns’ moves -- signing guard Kevin Zeitler and interior lineman JC Tretter while giving guard Joel Bitonio a huge extension -- certainly appears like Cleveland is trending upward in the trenches.

The Zeitler deal is a massive one, with Cleveland making the young free agent, who was surprisingly not retained by the Bengals this offseason, the highest-paid guard in NFL history. According to CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora, the Browns handed Zeitler a deal that will average $12 million per year ($60 million over five years).

Earlier in the day, the Browns also re-upped on Bitino, giving him a five-year extension that keeps him under contract through 2022.

And just to slap a big, old cherry on top of the situation, the Browns also inked Tretter, the former Packers center. The terms on Tretter have yet to be reported, but the important lesson here is that the Browns are doing the smart thing and investing in the offensive line. Tretter is a massive upgrade over Cameron Erving, who looks like a bust early in his career (as with many first-round picks).

Now the Browns have an offensive line of Joe Thomas, Zeitler, Tretter, Bitino and whoever you want to slap at right tackle.

They have invested in an area that is difficult to acquire and develop through the draft. That’s called a market inefficiency, which is sometimes known as Moneyball, which is not really a nerdy baseball thing but actually an economic thing. And the Browns are wisely taking advantage of it.

The additional protection for young quarterbacks will provide a benefit, and the Browns’ running game should immediately improve.

This looks like a set of pretty smart and swift moves to open free agency by the Browns front office. It feels somewhat like a “Twilight Zone” situation, but is certainly optimistic, especially when you consider the possibilities of what they could add in the draft.

FA is not over yet.

Sashi can still dump, renegotiate, or trade Brock keeping the extra draft pick next year.

You have yet to explain whether Pryor wants to stay in Cleveland? Is Pryor more concern about the money? I have stated a few times is Pryor putting up a front. It is obvious other teams are not beating down his door.

No, I didn't say that. Pull your panties out of your butt, it's apparently affecting what little reading comprehension you have.


HERE is what I DID say:

Man, just stop.

Nah, mac doesn't think that way.

Since Pryor hasn't been re-signed by the Browns at this point, this whole free agency thing is totally screwed, we can't attract free agents, the front office sucks, may as well jump from a plane without a parachute into a lion's den that has a great white shark filled moat around it.

I feel your pain at our lack of success but I believe we had a good day today. It's pointless criticising something you have no control over my friend, genuinely. I really hope we (Browns) have turned a corner and when I finally get to see them in London this year we are on the cusp of something.

Hope is your friend. It's mine.

if sushi doesn't get Pryor signed...I don't give a damn what he does, he will be a failure as a GM.

Have you even responded to the report that our offer is the most money available to him?

Apparently you don't. I just quoted it. I NEVER said Pryor signed anywhere. Never, not once. If I did, find it and quote it. Or, don't waste your time looking, cause you won't find it.

I don't wear panties. I don't whine like a little baby.

You KNOW I'm fond of Sashi?

Dude, you just blew yourself up. Your integrity as a poster is now sitting underneath the Titanic.

I feel like this is a parody account at this point. No one actually believes this.

mac is The Onion.

Dodge.
Duck.
Dip.
Dive.

What Im thinking.

1. Garrett
12. Hooker
33. Howard
52. Best CB available

Are they thinking Erving at Rt. Tackle? How is Shon doing?

Thanks to Depo for being a man and taking a bullet for Hue at the beginning of the season -- waterbottlegate. It showed some good, long overdue, leadership. Now get Jimmy, Sashi, and whoever to convince Hue that he and Saunders need to get a smart, young guy in and start developing him into a top Offensive Coordinator.

On to the draft.

Cleveland Browns‏Verified account @Browns 2h2 hours ago

OFFICIAL: We've signed OL @JoelBitonio to a 5-year contract extension


https://twitter.com/Browns/status/839936513219641344

That doesn't matter to mac. It's Pryor, or screw the whole season.

Wait, you are unsure where Arch's panties should be? Really? That's just freakin scary

I've always measured the GM's success by how well the team plays with the players that GM has acquired. Regardless of how they were acquired.

So if in 2-3 years this team some how ends up in the playoffs W/O having to sign Pryor then Sashi and co. failed?

We need to hire a football man!

Holy crap.

that's sad

Bill Polian over the last several weeks:

Randy Moss shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame
Terrell Owens shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame
Had a first round grade on Tom Brady
Above video

Time to put him in a home.

Poor bill he must think he is Bill. Time for him to be let go because your right guys he is just sad to watch anymore.

very good start to the new season. With Britt signing, Pryor will most likely be gone. but I do like that we hit the O-line hard today.

What the he'll is he saying?
