#Browns have released DT Perrion Winfrey after he reportedly threatened a woman with a gun Tuesday night. Details coming soon.


he had a heck of a career here

Ravens will sign him all but guaranteeing his Gold Jacket.

he could get another shot somewhere, but he was literally nothing but problems from the moment he was drafted and barked

What a dolt...

So many Browns fans bought into his stupid barking hype
Video after he got drafted.

That original draft press conference w/ Nathan Zegura was cringy.

And Berry's draft busts continues

Official

yeah there was a lot of smoke about his off the field stuff prior to the draft

They did.....as did other teams. Which is why he fell to the fourth round.

The available veteran interior lineman search begins.

Matt Ioannidis is still available, I think.

Ioannidis would be great

I'd suggest continuing to concentrate your analytics outrage towards earlier round guys like Wills, Delpit, Newsome, and JOK than day three draft picks.

Just a passing comment from Jason Lloyd.....who I consider one of the best here in town.


I read this as there were other issues on top of this that may have not been public or as serious, but part of a larger picture re: Winfrey.

Does this really surprise anyone that Winfrey has finally been cut?

Why did Perrion Winfrey fall so far in the 2022 draft?
"Teams were worried he could have positive tests and suspensions in the pros. They also did not like his inconsistent play where he was a huge liability against the run and really struggled as a run defender in college. Between his makeup and inconsistent play, Winfrey's slide was not surprising to team sources." (walterfootball.com)

Clearly a swing and miss by the Browns.

I'm guessing the next missed draft pick on the cut room floor will be Schwartz.

Smoke about off field stuff seems to be a new requirement.

After the latest news I agree on cutting PW. We don't need any added distractions. I feel he has talent but it's not worth the trouble. Unfortunately, it's a position we are trying to strengthen. We'll have to look for another player or 2 at DT.

I'm so shocked by this.

cue tweet about Anthony Schwartz next

This is the part I find rather troubling. Are you saying that a constant disruption and such behavior is somehow acceptable based on how much talent you have? That character only matters depending on how talented you are?

Sadly, as much as it pains me to admit it, I think you're right so please don't take this as some attack. I just find it troubling that this is the way it seems to be. And I am interested to try and have someone explain to me why you can excuse terrible character on the part of one player and have a double standard with other players. It certainly portrays a huge double standard and the appearance that when push comes to shove, the top brass makes examples of lesser players in an attempt to BS people into believing that character actually matters to them while embracing and excusing those with more talent. So it's not really about what you did, but who you are.

I wouldn't call it a swing and miss. It was taking a flyer. A gamble on a long shot.

I bought a few tickets on tonights Powerball. If I don't win, I wouldn't call it a swing and a miss.

It is quite inspiring to think that the Browns would draw the line in the sand on chasing a woman with a gun (or bruising another's wrist) after openly accepting the sexual assault on 23 women by another player. My suggestion to Winfrey is to immediately try to come to some kind of financial settlement with the women and everything will be water under the bridge.

I wouldn't say it makes it acceptable. It does give people a few more chances.

The bottom line is the kid is just a thug from the hood. Has been and never tried to change that.

It is what it is. We gave him a chance and he screwed it up. No big surprise.

Couldn't get thru the silly season, ie no adult guidance. Made nearly $900,000 last year--wonder how much he's owed this year.....can't be much- sad he thought he'd made it.....another bust from the hood.

Pit I'm not taking your response as an attack not at all. However, your response did make ne think about it a little more. If PW was an all pro for us the last few years I don't believe he would have been cut. As a matter of fact, I don't think we as fans would want to see him cut. There have been instances on other teams, 2 in our division, where very important players got in some serious trouble and nothing happened. So yes, I believe there is a double standard for more talented players as opposed to those with less talent in any sport not just the NFL and yes, it is troubling.

Thanks for the honest and candid response.

j/c:

Just an idiot we’ll soon forget about. Had a great opportunity to, at worst, build a nice little nest egg for his future, instead he blows it.
See ya.

ten cent brain syndrome

It's sad. Some of us wish we had the talent of these athletes and the opportunity to make the money that goes with it.

I think Hurst is a sleeper. This guy was good when he played, just hurt too much. Maybe he is healthy now, if so, he is pretty good

Some guys think they are all that, only to find they are not.

I do hope that the Browns start looking at character more. We had that other DL, who went to jail ......and an assortment of guys who are talented, but will never make it in life, let alone the NFL.

The Browns should have cut him after the domestic violence incident back in April.

Winfrey screwing up....again, is the least surprising news this offseason.

There's a room vacancy now at The Greenbrier!

Ed and Peggy Gallek on the case....

well he didn't last long...

That is the only question. He has only played 2 games the last 2 season, so he should be good, but you never know.

We have some money. I don't think we can rest on what we have. Too many caution flags.
