On a sidenote, they are not Browns, but I'll be pimping Alama-Francis and Ilaoa as much as possible. The Browns got a guy from Hawaii, just not the right one!!

i agree with that statement 100% Nasti Nate will be a force to recon with... he reminds me a lot of a young Jerome Betis... in fact... for your viewing pleasure...

Well, this is a start. Hopefully it starts to snowball through tomorrow. I really want Wright and Thomas to get in there.

Well, glad to hear at least SOME news on our rookies. Hopefully there's a flurry of activity for us soon.
I am unfamiliar with this feeling of optimism

Makes sense that he would be in camp in time; now that Chase Pittman also has signed and the two will be competing for a either a backup or PS position on the team. JMHO

I like Pittman. I think he will surprise people and play more than a minor role.

I'm glad he signed ON TIME so we can see how he does in pads... i have a feeling though that only Pittman will actually make the team... i've been wrong before though... can't wait til camp starts... my guy is gonna tear it up.. naw.. not Purcell.. im talking about the RB from Wake Forest...

I like him now too since I found out he is kinda in my extended family.  I still think he will end up on the PS. He Tab, not to rub it in (that's exactly what I'm doing ) but he is here to plat DE and not LB. He is suppose to be 285.

You think? What do you see in him?
I know that the LSU line did an awesome job last season, but I don't know how much of that was his doing and he really needs to gain some weight.

Yes, I now do remember that's what the intentions were. But, he's going to have to add some bulk and I hope he does have that quickness that he showed in college. I stand corrected, thank you.

I can't see Syndric Steptoe holding out. Brandon McDonald also should be inking the dotted line along with Steptoe on either Monday or Tuesday.
Then it's the top 3 to go, with Wright and Thomas most likely to be signed next and BQ the last and most difficult because I think his agent will try to force the Browns to consider his potential and that the draft of demand and supply was not conducive to his position until it was really Miami's turn on the clock. I'm sure they will reach a slotted median position amount where both parties can save face and be contented.
So far, Brady's performance in the mini camps has not enhanced his so-called "promise of potential" so that the Browns are being squeezed to give in to any excessive demands by Brady's agent. JMHO

I was talking to Eotab.

OOOhhhhh, don't rub it in, I was secretly wanting him all the way, man he looked good. In fact, a lot of people on the board were also pimping him but, Savage is going to wait until next year to pick our new RB.
We don't have to play the Eagles this year do we?
Westbrook/Ilaoa? that could be deadly.
