I kind of had a strong haunch last year (When we resigned Bitonio and Teller) that this was Tretters last year with us.

I expect he'll find a job in relatively short order.

Is anyone comfortable with Harris at center? That has to be the move, correct?
How does a league celebrating its 100th season only recognize the 53 most recent championships?

He's only taken 211 Oline snaps in 2 years and those snaps came in 3 games, in 2020 he filled in at RG for 2 games and struggled, last year he filled in 1 game at OC and played pretty good.

On the positive side, Tretter didn't practice much, so Harris got lots of work with Callahan. Drafting and developing to replace expensive, aging veterans is what teams that stay good do. Here's hoping we've done that developing.

moves like this just don't make sense to me... releasing a very good center making 8 million and franchise a guy who is the very definition of meh. not good. Oh hey deshaun, we got you a center thats barely played center at this level...welcome. We are in a bad cap situation

I don't know. They might want him to help teach Watson the offense, and/or fill in during the possible suspension. Sure. Keep a teacher they don't trust to play. For a QB that has very little chance of ever coming here in the first place.

First one in, last one out type of guy. I don’t think him picking up any offense would be a problem. I'm not worried about him picking it up. I'd prefer he get up to speed as quickly as possible, though, so everyone else on O isn't "held up," if that's the direction they go. Coaches are only allowed so much interaction with players during the off-season. Players can spend as much time with each other as they want. We could still end up cutting him. I think he has some guarantees kick in on the 19th. Still have a few days before they need to make a decision. Getting Watson could make them lean toward keeping him. Baker probably doesn't need help picking up things here and doesn't have a possible suspension looming, so if no Watson, Keenum could be gone. No need to do anything this instant.

The good thing about Watson is that he works with Quincy Avery in the off-season so he would be able to work on the offense then.

Tretter is no surprise.
They have been grooming Harris for two years. They may draft a center.

We’ve planned to release Tretter this offseason for the last two years. The drafting of Harris kinda showed that. Harris was serviceable the last few games we saw. Still don’t love losing Tretter.

gotta wonder how many FA's are waiting to see where Watson lands.

I don't really like this unless his injuries never fully recovered??? He wasn't great but he was solid and was good with the line calls - Harris looked good in his one start??? or was it two but he looked pretty good hope he can handle the job full time.
Defense wins championships. Watson play your butt off! Go Browns! CHRIST HAS RISEN! GM Strong! & Stay safe everyone!

Njoku/Bryant are sufficient. Hooper never was worth it here.

If this rumor is true, you have to wonder what the he!! the Browns are doing when they are going to release a guy that's going to cost them 11.250M for a player not to be on the team. I was unaware that the Browns are so flush with cap money. To date - 2022 dead cap $6,464,721 before they add in Hooper's dead cap for 2022 alone. That's $10,214,721 dead cap in 2022 and counting while 2023 is off to a rip roaring start with 7.5M as a beginning dead cap debt.
Hooper's Post 6/1 cap hit 2022 - Avoid paying him his $9.5M in base salary; total $3.75M cap hit 2023 - Avoid paying him his $9.5M in base salary; total $7.5M cap hit

I'm curious about the timing. I don't think we are losing a ton by shipping him. Just a bummer we are flushing so much money down the toilet in doing so.
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.

I think (guessing) that it is about allowing him to get a new contract now, today, when FA is beginning instead of holding onto him until June 1st because of some technicality. The league/NFLPA allows us to let him go and sign a new contract now, but it doesn't count for accounting purposes until after June 1. It's good for the players.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.
