Terrelle Pryor hasn't re-signed yet! Or any other kind of signed. All I gotta say is the Redskins front office looks like five times the mess ours does today.

Well this is bad news. The Redskins will probably at least come close to matching our offer, and with a better QB situation I would go there if I were him.
Sucks.....they should have Transitioned him before it got to this point. Better QB? Who? Seems like they have no idea who their QB will be. Cousins is either there one more year or gone to SF this year. Either way they have an unstable QB situation too. This comes down to $$$$ I love Pryor. He played very well for us last year. But I sure as hell don't want to see them break the bank for the guy. He played ONE year as a WR. He's a really good #2 but he isn't a top five #1 and we should not pay him like he is.

Amen Brother, I also like Pryor BUT his value isnt what HE thinks it is. To be honest, Kenny Britt was as good as Pryor last year in a similar situation. Britt is a more accomplished receiver at this point, but Pryor has more upside. Either way Pryor aint a #1, and should not be paid as such.

I just realized that Washington might throw a bunch of money at Pryor to try and distract everyone from the dumpster that is on fire at their team facility.

Going into free agency I said if we didn't sign Pryor it would be a failure. Then we signed Britt (which I am still on the fence about). And Tretter. And Zeitler. And re-signed Bitonio. And made the Osweiler trade. The good far outweighs the bad.
I feel the same and I am just slightly below being on the fence for Britt unless we also sign Pryor and then I am ecstatic.

I feel the bridge has been burned between the Browns and Pryor. He said all the right things to the media and then expected to fleece us for $15m/yr. We called his bluff and now he'll take his talents elsewhere, even if the Redskins pay him less. Oh well.

Tea leaves say we're going to lose Pryor. I'll wait for the contract details to see if a FO skewering is needed. If this does happen, our WR group has gotten worse. Britt only softens the blow.
Even with that (if it does happen), our team has become way better today than they were yesterday.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

For my sake, in regards to reading any thread mac is in for the next year, I hope he signs for less.

New thought, it's so funny it's almost worth it.
Pryor signs with Washington.
We then trade for Cousins.

We have the ammo for it. Given the price for Jimmy G, I'd at least make the phone call to Washington for him.

Brock and a pick for Kirk? It wouldn't hurt to make the offer. It might make Bill rethink his price for Jimmy G as well.

If I'm the Browns and our initial offer is the BEST action he's gotten. I tell Pryor and his people you've got ONE HOUR to sign it or its GONE.
You said you want to be in Cleveland. We want you. Ball up dude or you're history.
You've been a QB your entire life. You're TRYING to be a WR at the highest level. You've been doing this for 10 lousy ass months. You're LUCKY we've offered what we have.

I'd do Brock and 2 or 3 2nd rounders for Cousins. He'd be our best QB in decades, and should slide right into Hue's offense.
I admit that I didn't like Cousins when he came to the NFL, but he did what so many other QBs don't do, and he really attacked his weaknesses. He could turn the ball over like nobody's business in his 1st couple of years, but then figured out how to eliminate most of the big mistakes.

The ONE thing that will change this is Washington firing the GM today and Pryor visiting tomorrow. Snyder's an idiot that will give a NEW to the position WR 12M. Noone else wants to. Good riddance.

So answer me this....why has TP not signed a big contract yet? Possibly because he seeks better, or possible because he isn't getting a better offer?

Why? We made him a good faith offer, that was ell below whet he wanted. Now he is out getting a taste of the reality of the NFL. If he wants to come back now, give him his deal, and keep the depth going. If it was a fair deal even after we signed Britt, then it's a fair deal today. It's not like we're running out of cap soace any day soon.
The front office has, I believe, earned some respect around the NFL. Don't cost yourself any of that by playing games that players, agents, and frankly, fans hate. It you can bring him back on the deal you left on the table for him, just do it.

He had it over a week ago. We let him find his value on the open market. Our offer is the best. I've said my peace. Screw Pryor. He don't wanna be here. He'll be in Washington tomorrow. Hope he stays there. Snyder will give him a crazy deal.

I hope we resign TP, but we've already made the highest offer and he's off to Washington were Dan Snyder will overpay him if he likes him enough. Do we still get a chance to match the offer and will we?
I want him here as much as anyone, but if Snyder offers him a crazy deal we should let him go. Kills me to say that, but the ball is in his court and it seems our offer was fair after all.

I don't really understand why he didn't sign with us like earlier this afternoon. Must not want to be here. Where is the loyalty for the team and coach that essentially resurrected your career?

It's his first (and could be his last) Free Agency. Some guys never even get to experience this much before their career is over. If Dan Snyder wants to fly him to D.C. and show him around, why not enjoy the experience a little? Go, check things out, have some fun.... and then come back home and sign the larger deal and play for the coach that gave you all of your breaks in this league so far.

Kenny took your money.
And, he'd like to thank Drew for making it all possible.
(Once I heard who his agent was, everything changed. I had a gut feeling it was not going to end well.)

And now hearing that he is going to Washington where they love to throw money at players that don't fit, even more so. We might still have a chance at him if Washington makes an offer $10 mil or below, but Washington just loves to make headlines by breaking the bank.

If that leaves a spot open for him to come back to then fine, but if they move on and find someone else Pryor is SOL. That's just business. Signing Britt may have been that move on move... I don't know. But if it was then Pryor will have to find another team.

The impression I'm getting from this FO between these 2 seasons is that, like it or not, this train is moving. Disagree with the conductor, the route, or who gets on board, but it's not slowing down for anyone. I'm totally fine with Pryor looking around. But he has to realize that until he does there is a hole at WR for us. Yes he had a good year for us, but it wasn't so spectacular that this FO should pass up opportunities to sign talent they like (Britt) in hopes Pyror inks a deal with us.

Nothing expected on #Redskins front with WR Terrelle Pryor tonight. We'll see what develops Friday morning. https://twitter.com/MasterTes/status/840041691021234177I know this is weird coming from a Browns fan, but how can anyone sign with Washington after the last several days?
