The Browns, once again, have a great opportunity for a new low... "The kick" can live in infamy as the Browns lose on a last second field goal by a kicker they cut three days before.
If this happens, I may just have to accept our eternal fate and turn in my fan card lol.
Remember how everyone keeps saying every year "it can't get any worse". We keep forgetting about all these scenarios that we haven't even fathomed. The odds of this one happening are high. It's the Browns. Seibert kicks go ahead FG with :53 to go. Baker leads a hurry up drive to give Parkey a shot at the GW 32 yard FG with 3 seconds left on the clock. Parkey blasts one off the right upright. No good. Bengals win. The double whammy.

They better get really close to the uprights so Seibert has a chance to make.
I look forward to Jojo Natson being able to return a kickoff or two this week if Seibert is playing.

I'll go with this... if and only if the play that leads to our FG attempt is the infamous Baker-shovel-pass-back-to-himself and it results in a huge completion to put us in range. You have to take the fans to the pinnacle of "dark days are behind us" before you bring the hammer smashing down.

I think it's as much about them being curious about what our special teams are doing after the fake punt attempt as it is about his ability to kick.

He may be better than Barkley.
Barkley is very underwhelming to me, especially as a runner.

Tale of irony. Corey Coleman was released by the Giants. Then Damion Ratley was signed.
A Browns draft bust replaced by former Browns bum.
Daniel Jones has a trainwreck of a offense around.him. Honestly, was Ratley all that bad..

Just sticking this in here as we talk about replacements. Who goes in for Jo Jo Natson? Not sure about who might be wanted/ needed or moved up. I was hoping to see more of him. (Apologies Damonshot; not hijacking your stuff. I just read this and hoped somebody might know.)

Donavan Peoples-Jones should be the next man up. At least as a backup WR, kick returner, but The decision has not been made yet about punt returner.

That is why I asked. Seems to me that we had stacked a number of hats on him for a number of things. I hope Peoples-Jones can step up and be a star. I might still be shopping. Thanks!

D'Ernest is the backup Punt Returner, but the #3 Kick Returner.
Peoples-Jones is the backup Kick Returner, but the #3 Punt returner.
Natson was the starter at both spots.
We will likely see both D'Ernest and DPJ regularly, now.

For as good as he is, and for a position that's not the easiest to fill in the NFL... for 2 teams to go, "nah, thanks" is saying something.
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.

Especially since it's safe to assume he knows he needs to "slow his roll" and endear himself to any suitors at this point.

Wow, seriously... it was almost a foregone conclusion that he was signing with them. He must have walked in and punched the receptionist.

Maybe they don’t think he can get up to speed for this week but want to get him in the building. We’ll see if he gets promoted next week.

We’ve signed Ryan Switzer (WR - Steelers) to the practice squad ... I kinda like it
