I would take LaFell over Dez ... JMHO

Apparently, so would his former teammates.

keep it. Too many Bungles on this team already.

IMO, Dez Bryant has been done for two years now. I'd pass.

Excellent points. With Gordan out right now, the more I think about Dez, the more I would like to Just Do It. Sign him and let's put up at least 30 points a game. We know what Landry is. I think Coleman might surprise us. Callaway looks dangerous. We finally have a QB who has touch and accuracy. It's going to be good. Njoku Sheeeesh! Look out!
Go Browns!

Njoku's drops in camp have me slightly concerned. He's had a couple bad days with drops, and has to be more consistent.

Orange is the new black..not Panther..lol.. I agree..why keep bringing in players from a losing team to think your going to win..wth ?

same here .. it's why i hate drafting guys who can't catch consistently: it rarely improves

Agreed.

With Coleman out of the picture...WR is still a need, specially since you can never depend on Josh Gordon.

Now I hate Dez's antics on the sidelines and his arrogance...But fact is he looking for a prove it deal...So its probable a 1 year deal...

Now I wouldnt hate having Dez for one year, at least to patch up our core until its hopefully improved next year in FA/draft. He will help a lot in red zone as that has always been his flair. He is a hard worker, could teach the young guys a hting or two...Dez however "Dez" run his mouth a ton, as long as it's channeled at the opposition and not at coaches...That's the catch 22 with Dez.

Lafell and Maclin remain other options...I love Maclin's hands and route running (plus the guy is great on and off the field, never an issue) However I saw him pulled from at least 4-5 Ravens games last year...Heck left twice in one game when playing our Browns (Took a lot of big hits, and his body is becoming soft) Lafell is a solid WR, nothing special but does everything just well enough.

Sign Dez today, we NEED some help at a very thin WR position. We have Landry and a whole lot of questions to go with him. Either that or sign a couple veterans after first cuts. Hope they can get up to speed in this offense fast! Camp is fast approaching its end. Would be nice to have our WR position in place early enough to get the new guy(s) some reps in camp with our new QB and new OC!

I really like Maclin.

There was another thread.......maybe the Jarvis Landry thread.........and we were ranking hands. Maclin was on my list.

I like WRs who can catch!

I like the idea of signing Maclin over Bryant.

At this stage in his career he could be a better 3rd option than Coleman. He's only 30 and is the same type of receiver build wise as Coleman.

Does melting down on the sideline count as dumb?

What other WRs are available in FA right now?

I really think that the team wants to look at the guys we have here right now.

Yup. I think the Coleman trade pretty much announces that we don't feel like we're thin at WR. It says that we feel strongly enough about the guys in camp (and Gordon) that we're ok with letting go of one of our most likely to be counted upon WR's.

By all accounts, Higgins is lighting it up and so is Landry. I haven't heard much about Ratley or Callaway in camp, but I'd say that both are a lock to make the team, as is Gordon. Add in guys like CJ Board & Janis making some noise and I think the team is quite comfortable with trading Coleman without needing to make any rash or drastic moves to backfill.

I think you have Callaway and Janis backwards.

Callaway was running with the 1's the other day, and Coleman threw a hissy fit. Janis just came to camp after missing a lot of time due to injury.

Dez is smart enough to actually show up and play. Unlike the much lauded Josh Gordon who is the dumbest player in the league by MILES.

So your rule only applies to Josh Gordon?

I agree Vers...Maclin will come at probably half the price, and none the sideline drama...Would be the ideal veteran for our young guys...Maclin is very professional...hopefully he is letting his body heal, as he took some God awful hits last year...Maclin is normally the WR you use to take the top off...However Baltimore had a one trick pony named Mike Wallace for that, so used Maclin short and underneath often last year...He got punished for it...I would love Maclin no doubt about it...Odd as Maclin has nearly 7k receiving yards in his career, Bryant has 7.4k yards...though Maclin missed an entire year due to ACL, then again Dez came out a year later so that evens it out. Dez has a much bigger TD total in his career (73 tds compared to Maclins 49)

I think Maclin is alot less problematic..Both are older, both have a tendency of being banged up...Dez just has alot ot antics and attitude, which I'm sure scares coaches away.

I just think we will have issues if we roll out with whom we currently have...I advocate a veteran signing, and Maclin is the most ideal of all.

Agreed.

I sure wish you would post more.

I heard on the radio that he totally redeemed himself with some really nice catches. Maybe he should catch 200-300 balls after practice until he eliminates the drops...

Now that Coleman is gone, Dez is sounding very good right now!

So is Sponge Bob Square Pants.

I think I would understand the response better if I knew how many holes in ones you've had.

I still don't want Dez. I would not be opposed to Maclin as mentioned above.

maclin over Dez. But a vet to replace Coleman, soon I hope.

Can we just get a WR that doesn't have any on or off-field concerns for once?

Pssssst ... VICE GRIPS says hello ....

Dorsey cut Maclin via voicemail. Don't think he is on the radar, but I could be wrong.

Well now that we are down yet another wide receiver what do you think? We actually need Maclin AND Dez because Callaway followed meatheads example and will almost certainly be suspended. Since he failed the test at the combine I believe he was already in the program. Four games is almost a certainty and it could be more than that... But hey, Cleveland is the team where you can get suspended more times than one can count and the franchise and fans will love you all the more...

I see the slot WR position in Dukes future... he just became a full time WR.

Mike Furrey lol jk

No....

Learn something new... I didn't know that.

We don't need more meatheads....Callaway/Gordon are plenty....Higgins needs to step up....Just saying, the Browns are in the entertainment business- we sure know how to get the spotlight- Hard Knocks, Hard Times- being a fan, Hard Failure- our drafting history....ain't it grand being a Browns fan.

JMHO, Callaway doesn't get suspended, he denied stuff AND some of what he says has some credibility- however, club should fine him for not reporting incident- get him help. Military had buddy system...he shouldn't have been out a 3am , hire a buddy....GO Browns!!!

I saw Vegas has the Browns as the favorite to sign him still

we still have the most cap space, that's why


More likely than not, I'd say that Dez Bryant is retired from the NFL.
He just doesn't know it, yet.
