Thanks for the correction.
Now, do you wanna go correct all the BS from other posters who are defending the FO like they are their first born? LOL... But that is the point, right. With regard to the Pryor signing, the FO does not need to be defended. And Pryor doesn't need to be villain-ized. . . . But they are , all because of one poster and their ridiculous posts .

Seems like BS to me. He would have gone back and signed with the team who offered 11 mil. Of course it does. It's not a completely positive article about the Browns. It's gotta be fake. So you believe that Pryor was offered a multi year deal at $11 per year - making him a top 10-12 paid WR in the NFL .... and he turned it down for $6 million with a chance to earn an additional $2 million if everything goes just right. . . . If you don't think that sounds like BS please be specific. Coz I have already come out and said I think that is complete and total fabrication.

To be clear, I have not criticized the FO at all. And, I am not criticizing them now. I just think that some people are very narrow-minded when it comes to evaluating specific situations.
I really don't know what happened, thus I haven't said much on the topic, other than to point out the absurdity from mac and the absurdity from the polar side.......like being "grossed out" by Pryor. LOL
Now, I have an opinion as to what may have happened........but have been reluctant to share it because I really don't know. But, since you asked:
I think the Browns made the offer that has been widely reported. I think Pryor's camp thought they could get more. I think that led to the Browns signing Britt, which led to them not be willing to give Pryor that original contract offer. I think Pryor's reps might have contacted the Browns again, but it was already too late. Thus, Pryor signed w/the 'Skins on a one-year "show me" deal.
I am not blaming either side. It's business and stuff happens.
I do wish that an agreement between the two parties could have been reached because I think the Browns are a better team w/Pryor than w/out him. But, I'm not going to play the blame game.

Reasonable scenario. As you say, we don't know what exactly transpired but your theory is sounds likely.

JMHO, the "news" data makes no sense- offered 11m, multiple years yadh,yadh...a thinking man would ALSO factor in possible injury-he just had finger surgery, his body is getting beat on hard- especially if he learns to run the whole route tree-he should have taken the large deal. He wanted to test FA waters and did...Our FO placed a value on TP not to TP's value, then replaced him at/near their number and got more experienced wr-win on their part-more experience/same numbers...Pryor signs one year deal BETTING his families future on better year AND no serious injuries- for possible BIG payday...both parties made decisions and I see no problem with any of them....lastly, he's off the team and we had a plan/ time will tell which plan was best...as always....GO Browns!!!!

Just my opinion - I think 99% of posters agree with that narrative. I think posters and what gets written gets skewed because people start presenting their posts in a way to foil or counter Mac.

I mentioned this once already, but go back and read that again. The way I read that is those multi-year offers were for a total of 10M and 11M, not 10/11M per year. I do not see where that states those are annual amounts. So, I could see him preferring a 1 yr/8M deal over a 2 year 10M deal.
