Jed Wills "Business Decision"

Also, if someone has a link that has more info than MKC's TMZ-headline style article, that may help.

He can't leave town soon enough

Just read the article on Jed. I have to say I was humbled by his honesty and humility

j/c:

I just got my new Browns "Factory of Sadness" T-shirt on Amazon. The shirt that says it all for all of us diehard Browns fans.

To be fair, he didn’t say he was a healthy self-scratch. Guys make decisions about playing and their own subjective injury status all the time. He’s hardly alone on any team as far as that goes. But it’s definitely a poor choice of words and makes it appear he isn’t mentally tough and willing to play through stuff the way other guys are. You need a tough SOB at LT and he’s not that.

I agree with you. The article is low on usable info and could just be more muckraking like MKC likes to do... but it does fit a narrative that's been building around Wills for a while now.

I'm not quite as down on the guy as some on here. I'd like to see the LT spot get locked down and him battle with Conklin and maybe even DJones for RT.

I hope they make a Business decision and De-Activate him for the rest of the year. Dont know if his $$ is guaranteed but not active on gameday usually means a different paycheck. A Berry needs to start his homework on Oline coach/Scheme and what KS really wants to do. We need Oline man real bad. This is the worst Oline we have trotted out for a long time. Dont know if Joe T has any input But they might inquire.

Wills would get the same pay next week as he did last week. You might be thinking of PS players getting promoted to the roster for game days.

You are 100% correct. If possible I would be fine with sending him. It is a business decision. For a guy to not play as much as he has and when he has played it has been very poor with mental errors and holding calls. For Andrew Berry it should be lesson learned, if you want a Left tackle, You better draft a real one and not a project. Winning franchises don't blow 1st RD draft picks and then trade away 3.

j/c…

I always thought he played well for us last year as a depth piece and wasn't sure why we didn't bring him back.

Jed Wills is going to get the inactive treatment a little while longer.

You think this week? This soon after he was signed in a short week? I would think they would want him to get another full week of practice under his belt first at least. But then you never know.

I seem to remember players had to be on roster 3 days prior to playing for a new team, though that might have been just during the covids time.

Slide Bitonio over to LT in a pinch. I'll be surprised if Wills is active this game. Possibly moving forward.

I'd never play Wills again honestly

Wills. Another Browns #1 pick that didn't work out. It's quite a long list.

Tugging on that thread a little bit...

The story on Wills during that draft was that he was a RT that could potentially slide over since he blocked for a lefty. I don't remember hearing ANYTHING regarding potential want-to issues. I don't think this was Justin Gilbert 2.0

I know this isn't the best look right now, but I thought this was top shelf material.

At the very least... a little levity for the board.

If anyone would know about weight problems and food addictions it's probably the 400+ pound man talking in the video.



Thanks for that. The epitome of pot met kettle.

I'd rather play at 1 on Sunday anyways - TNF on the road sucks

Yeah, but you're losing national exposure. It's a kick in the nuts for the players.

You know the decision was made before last night's game. I wonder if they regret it after last night's game. Let's hope so!

If we had a season of nothing but 1PM Sunday I'd be happy.

Me too.

You really don't care. We know, Jed. We see it on the field over and over.

Don't really mean to pile on, but that might be more tone deaf than what he said about the business decision. He could be solid if he actually played like he wasn't just waiting for a whistle to blow, the clock to hit zero, and/or a paycheck to show up.

With JW as It stands now, I feel we can move the ball on anyone. Give JW another good WR, a better LT and an improved running game and he will be even better. Of course, I do acknowledge the INT's but what choice do we have right now. The medicine may taste a little bad, but the end result is better health for the O so to speak.

That is awesome. I need to pick up a can and have eggs for dinner soon.

kudos to Spam .. that's amazing

Spam 'n Eggs FTW.

Got a can as a gag/ white elephant gift last week, I was like "hell yeah, it's been a minute".

If I may suggest try their bacon flavor. It doesn't taste quite like bacon but it goes great with eggs.

I agree 100%. My issue is that the 'powers-that-be' had to know that way back in OTAs...the players as well. What they did was inexcusable and worthy of being fired for it. Whose bacon were they trying to save? Jimmy's? Calling the difference in play and effectiveness like 'night-and-day' is a gross understatement.

SKi kept saying DW 'gives us the best chance to win'. If he meant that, he should be fired immediately. If he didn't mean that, why did he continue to do/say that?

Every time I try and cut these guys some slack, that ^ pops into my head immediately.
