I Don't care about the Ravens or Steelers or for that matter, any other team..

I'm like Freddie,, if they don't wear Brown and Orange, they just don't matter..

I hope Freddie and John and the team just look inside themselves,, don't worry about what anyone else does,, just be the best you can be. Leave everything out there on the field after each game...

with the talent this team has and the talent on the coaching staff, we should win a lot..

Me too.

I just went into town to do some things, and people were like Browns! Browns! Go Browns! lol

great time to be a browns fan!

Gotta trollya, Dawg... strictly for the laffz.
My nephew dropped this on my fb page:

j/c:

I’d say that Silver needs to grow up, but at this point in time, he’s a lost cause.

Man, the hopium out there is scary...

Zeitler is a big hole to fill...Corbett did not show much last season.
Peppers started to come around last year...now he's gone...Earl Thomas would have been the "coup de gra"...can you say cast off Eric Berry?

So two new holes to fill...

Didn't we have a thread about NOT needing anymore receivers? Wasn't it about 20 pages?

Yeah, Dorsey made some headlines with the move...but we seriously helped the Giants out of a bad cap situation...and we should not have relinquished the 4th for a 5th part of the Vernon deal.

Time will tell, hope the ego's can get along...and first time head coach Kitchens can handle it!

Go Browns!

You really should do some research before you say things like we helped the Giants out of a bad cap situation.

And, we get the 4th, they get the 5th.

not surprised. cowherd was popping off at the mouth today as well.

Oh boy..I hope he didn't argue with you

Are there still holes to fill? Yes, even Dorsey said he doesn't think the Browns are a Super Bowl Champion team yet. There is still work to do. But there is a lot of reason for optimism.

Most NFL analysts are saying the Browns are no longer a laughingstock but actual Division Championship contenders. I can't remember the last time anyone talked about the Browns like that.

Being a Brown's fan has made me cautiously optimistic so I know where you are coming from but my excitement for this team has increased about as much as their chance to win the SB.

On the local radio here in San Diego, just about every time I jump into the car to go somewhere, they are talking about the Browns. It's great!

SunDawg is from Arizona. Maybe the sun baked his brain.

Ok, never mind. We were supposed to get 132 in exchange for 155 but apparently this is what happened (I think):

Browns, Giants Alter Zeitler/Vernon Trade

March 13th, 2019 at 11:20am CST by Dallas Robinson

When the Browns and Giants agreed to swap guard Kevin Zeitler and defensive end Olivier Vernon earlier this week, the two clubs also decided to trade draft picks: Cleveland was set to give up a fifth-round pick (No. 155) to New York, while Big Blue send a fourth-round pick (No. 132) to the Browns. Now, following the deal that will send Odell Beckham Jr. to Cleveland, the two teams have agreed to revise the Zeitler/Brown trade.

The pick swap will no longer occur, according to Art Stapleton of NorthJersey.com (Twitter link). Instead, Zeitler will simply be traded straight up for Vernon, while OBJ will go to the Browns in a separate move. However, you can look at both swaps together as such: Beckham and Vernon for Zeitler, Peppers, No. 17 overall and No. 95 overall.

It’s unclear as to why the Giants and Browns have reached this agreement. The return for Beckham has been widely panned, so it’s possible the Giants asked for the Vernon/Zeitler pick swap to be eliminated as something of a face-saving move (although undoing a 23-spot drop in the draft probably isn’t worth all that much).

I could see a few more picks, but that sounds about right!

My thoughts are that now the real work begins for Dorsey. He over the course of the next few years will need to hit on the draft the FA window is about to close we have quite a few young studs that will need new contracts in the next few years along with Bake too.

That means Dorsey will have to fill out the roster via the draft and he will need to hit on serviceable players that we can get some good years and production out of. I want sustained success and the draft remains the key, IMO.

The FA we have signed along with the players we traded for will have to be replaced eventually and IMO again that can only be done via the draft.

To this point Dorsey has been near flawless and in order to have sustained success he will need to remain so. Oh and I have the utmost confidence he can continue to build on what we have, and he must.

The SB has to be the goal and with a few key picks he can fill out this roster and we can get to the big dance, maybe even this year. I think a team has to get to the playoffs once and almost always they lose the 1st go around from there they gain the experience needed to push thru and win it ALL.

I couldn't be more exited and hopeful. Cruise control is on with Dorsey in the FO.

"To this point Dorsey has been near flawless and in order to have sustained success he will need to remain so."

No he doesnt no GM is flawless. He just needs to hit on a high percentage.

Exactly.. every GM misses once in a while but if you have a strong team with a talented core, you can survive a miss once in a while..

When you desperately NEED every high draft pick to be great to drag you out of the basement... then every miss is magnified.

Did he grab his junk before he went to the dugout?

I'm not at all worried about OBJ becoming disruptive to our O if he starts acting like a diva.

Bake is in charge, he is the leader and only a moron wouldn't follow him.

One of the reasons I was hesitant about embracing the OBJ trade was that I wasn't sure we need him, as good as he is.

It’s spring training, he just scratched a little.

I know I always do.

He was adjusting his cup. He's going to dig out some curve balls, too. Always best to be prepared when hard objects are flying at you at over 75 mph

I took this from a different thread because I have been thinking about this probably more than I should.

Imagine lining up five wide with OBJ, Landry, Callaway, Higgins, and Njoku. How do you cover that?

Or take Higgins off the field and replace him with Chubb. You have to account for all the receivers. Chubb is going to be running against five man fronts.

Or take Chubb off the field and replace him with Hunt and then you have Hunt running against a five man front or with a linebacker on him or Njoku in coverage.

This offense is ridiculous.

we will see what the patriots do.

Baker Mayfield - The Mini-Movie

Best movie I've ever watched LOL Thanks Tulsa

Awesome stuff. Should have won the Oscar.

It's hard to believe that he's our guy. The misery from decades of frustration is so overwhelming, it is just hard to believe we just might have finally got it right.

Yes all of this is hard to believe. I had goosebumps watching that.

I feel like I died, and woke up in some weird alternate universe where the Browns are designed like Madden, and we destroy everybody.

Can you imagine what it is going to be like? Cleveland might have to shut down for a week if they made the Superbowl.

Just beat Pittsburgh twice, and I will be in heaven.

I really want to win a Super Bowl in the next ten years... not even for me but for my dad... dad's 71 and is a lifelong browns fan... he deserves a chance to see a winner...

I still am cautiously optimistic... hard to get too hyped... but I think this is going to be a special year if baker can stay healthy and focused
