I don't get the uproar over Joe's supposed comments? We already knew that Dorsey didn't offer him a contract during the season. MKC reported that months ago and it was what set people off about how Dorsey was dropping the ball.

Eric Reid might be a fit. I think Berry and Woods could handle his political views. For all his negatives, Haslam seems to be fairly progressive socially/pc-wise.

Plus there are the LSU ties with OBJ and Landry. They were only a draft apart.

That's when everyone claimed he was so good. All that changed.

j/c...

Riiiiiiight.

Changes like the weather. I have a compete wardrobe close at my disposal especially designed just to post on this board.

We are all well aware of your changing ways.

After reading that I put on my rain coat.

j/c...

I have read your post for many, many years. There have been times I have agreed with the positions you've taken. At other times I have have not agreed but I understood and respected your reasoning. I don't make a habit of inserting myself in these trivial squabbles and I will probably regret doing it in this case.

The above remarks by Barry happened at a particular time in a particular place. It was at a Combine press conference. It was widely reported that during the Combine that a meeting took place between the Browns and Schobert's representation. This makes your statement glaringly untrue.

Please don't argue that the timing of the statement was made before Barry met with Schobert's agent. We simply don't know, unless you have documented proof of when the meeting took place relative to the press conference remarks.

Even a single meeting could be enough to jumpstart stalled negotiations. That did not happen. There was an attempt made to find common ground. It was not successful. Case closed. Move on.

I don't know much about the guy but he is coming from the team where our HC last came from.

*** Goes right to PFF ***

Eww.

That's a bit more than I was expecting for a 32 year old player. Good for him.

As always, the terms are the devil in the details. The contract is only approx half guaranteed. It could be a deal with an out after 2 seasons.

Right. I was talking about the guaranteed money. I didn't expect that much. I was thinking more like one year, $10 million.

I’m all for Kline if we can make it work

Why? He is not very good.

LOL it's funny how teams are "reporting" their free agent "agrreing to terms"

The views expressed or reported in this article are not confirmed by any member of the Cleveland Browns.

He went to Kent State and he won a Super Bowl. We gotta get this guy!!

So Kline was ranked T41st as an OG last year by PFF - a source many including you have referenced multiple times.

The Browns OL was pretty decent last year - and much maligned according to some - how does Kline compare to our OG's last year? I'd be interested to know if he is considered an improvement ... also whether he'd come to Cleveland and be expected to start or add depth.

I live in Tennessee and can't help but watch the Titans on a regular basis. I root for them if it doesn't impact the Browns in some way.

He is a very good player.

I'd be happy with our FA haul if we finished out with the following two signings and built the rest of the roster through the draft.

1. S Anthony Harris
2. WR Breshad Perriman

OT Cam Fleming to the #Giants on a one-year deal, source says.

Was hoping to ink Cam Fleming as our swing tackle...solid signing for the Giants

Marcedes Lewis is still in the league?!?!?!?!

Pretty much just a blocker nowadays...man I still remember when he was a Jag, and would always run so awkwardly with him being so tall...I think he came into the league with Maurice Jones Drew...light years ago it seems

I used to go to a lot of UCLA games when he was college. It seems like so long ago (it was so long ago).

I dont know anything about Kline, but Vikings fans on Twitter are pissed. Most were saying they cut their 2nd best OL.

He didn't grade out too well last year.

I think he could be a solid depth signing.

I remember him KILLING us a time or two with the Jags (but that’s par for the course with TE’s lol)

I know Derek and his family, so I would love to see him playing for the Browns.

He was on SiriusXM NFL channel talking about the CBA recently. I think the Pat Kirwin show or something.

Seemed like a really good guy

j/c:

I get that he may have connections, but before that matters, he needs to be GOOD.
