I agreed with your post earlier today. The third WR is a big deal because of injuries. This is a good re-signing.

I am shocked ..... but really happy to see him back. Welcome back 'Wood. Hope we see you walking the red carpet again real soon.

How can you ignore such loyalty. I know it's a business, but if he plays like he did in 2018, the team should reward him with a better deal next year.

Great move. Regardless of what you think of Hollywood, quality depth just got much better no matter how much he plays.
That whole "go to" discussion got out of hand, sadly and mostly just semantics. Dude had an immediate rapport with Baker and always seemed to be where he needed to be. Great production from his targets, always a weapon - because once a defense forgets about him he'll make them pay. Sometimes we downplay team chemistry, but chemistry between a WR and his QB is very important. I'm glad he's back and I'm sure our QB is as well...

Really like this move. Hollywood bet on himself. Watch out. I see a big year ahead for him.

I don't know about anyone else, but I find that second part really hard to believe. You're telling me the dude shut down competing offers and waited through the good part of FA and then the draft just so Cleveland could give him a sub-million 1-year deal? I HIGHLY doubt it.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

That whole "go to" discussion got out of hand, sadly and mostly just semantics. It most certainly did. Something weird happened last year with Higgins and not sure if we will ever know. In 2018, he was one of, it not THE, most efficient WR in terms of targets to receptions. I'm not sure what the new scheme will do for Higgins on-field snaps, but I have to assume we'll see more of him in 2020 as opposed to 2019.

But too be fair....Berry was partly responsible for why they were in the first place, so them coming back isn't all that surprising.
Still it was obvious they had talent.

A better OL will help a LOT of people, but Baker's issues last year were Baker's (and Freddie's) fault. Higgins finally being let out of 'time out' really won't make much of a difference there.
Still happy for the guy. The light seemed to come on for him in 2018, and I love watching guys seem like they're not going to make it in the league, and then the light turns on. Easy to root for.

This is good news!
If absolutely nothing else, he will be pushing guys and there will be work getting done by everyone to try to lock down that #3 spot.

That's great and all, but bringing Higgins back won't magically cure Baker's issues from last year. I'm happy that we got Higgins back. I hope he is productive. I don't see where or why anyone would suggest that Higgins is going to "cure" Baker? Baker's issues - be they inaccuracy or scrambling from clean(ish) pockets or not processing psot snap - are all on him.... Was that a suggestion made by someone or are you preempting the discussion?
The more things change the more they stay the same.

I’ve been one of the few who’ve been still holding out hope with Higgins. I’ve refused to believe he would be gone unless he got a big pay day, which he clearly wasn’t going to get.
This makes our team much better IMO. Little things like this are important
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

The team responds to Higgins. They love his celebrations and if you watch them at camp/practice he’s one they gravitate toward.
More than willing to throw out last year’s weird nonsense & give him that fresh start.
#Browns now have a nice set of options/skill-sets at WR3.

Another interesting fact (that’s pretty unbelievable if true) ... Higgins is the FIRST browns drafted WR to reach his 2nd contract with us
michael bode
@mgbode_WFNY
Replying to
@MikeBCSN
Yes. He's the FIRST ONE in the Browns expansion era that started in 1999. There are kids who are of legal drinking age born in this era, yet Higgins is the first second contract WR signed.
That can’t be true, can it?

[quote=oobernoober] Was that a suggestion made by someone or are you preempting the discussion? Honestly, probably more of the latter... Just me giving a bunch of side-eye at that QB rating stat for Baker-Higgins from 2018.
