Agreed, Robo should sign later today or tomorrow - sometime Thursday at the absolute latest. The numbers should be pretty clearly defined for them at this point.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

Actually, we only have one more pick left unsigned,,, I'm betting his dad is saying, get your butt to camp boy... so I'd suspect he'll be here by Friday..
I may be mistaken, but if Robo signs and shows up this week, would that be the first time since the Browns returned that we had everyone in camp from the Get Go..... I mean of Official Full Squad Camp that is..

No. There was that guy that called himself the best WR in the draft.
"Travis freakin' Wilson."

Alphonso Smith, the pick after Robo, signed earlier this week.
Rey signed with the Bengals today (taken 2 picks after Robo).
Patrick Chung signed earlier this week (taken 2 ahead of Robo).
So, I don't really know what the holdup is with him.

I really don't want to get into this, but the hate for Braylon has nothing to do with Michigan. He is a Brown, not a wolverine. No one cares where he played at.

DeepThreat, I'm pretty sure he was kidding about the whole Braylon/Michigan thing.

I didnt hear one thing about where Edwards came from when he was playing at Pro bowl level. Then last year, the first time Ive heard anything about Meechigan, was from Braylon himself.

Comments like these make me wish the Browns would just trade Braylon so you Michigan fans would shut up

I guess you didn’t see that part where I said it was a freaking JOKE!!!!!!!! God you people really need to get over the Michigan crap already! College ball is just that college, pro ball is different! I for one am happy to have Robiskie on the team, I could care less that he helped kick the crap out of Michigan numerous times! He is a Brown now, so I will support him and hope he pans out!
Braylon was never given a fair shot from a lot of this fan base due to the fact that he is high profile, pretty boy, from Michigan! And all you have to do is read the posts, or go to a few games to see that people hate him. Several times I have sat in the pound and heard people boo him and yell “go back to Michigan” at him, but when he catches a TD, or a gets a nice gain those same morons are wanting to slap hands and cheer him on! Get over yourselves already! He is the best Offensive weapon we have, we need to support him! He is in a contract year and will play lights out, and if he doesn’t, if he proves that 07 was a fluke we cut or trade him, no big deal!
When a poster can’t even spell Michigan the right way that proves that they too are part of the crowd that is anti-Michigan! Seriously this is why I haven’t posted here for a long time, and the minute I try to joke around, and post again I get jumped on yet again! This board needs to wake up and realize that we are all BROWNS FANS!
Do you need the definition of the word joke?

You need to take your own advice. BRAYLON STUNK THIS YEAR or you could just say it was the fans fault he dropped the ball

Good because I've tried the same thing for Braylon.

What about Brady Quinn? You do know that OSU fans also hate notre dame? Heck most of the country hates Notre dame!

No get over YOURSELF, Braylon had 1 good year because DA had a fluke year. I hope he can prove me wrong but I highly doubt I will ever see the pro bowl Braylon again.

Again take your own advice we are ALL browns fans so there is no sense to "hate" on Braylon.

Tubby, if you were joking, then stop defending it... 
I live here in NE ohio... I know of NOBODY that would say a thing about what school BE comes from if he did his job.
About the only comment you would get is,, hey,,, he's not bad for a Michigan guy, then the person saying it would slap ya on the back and everybody would laugh it off.
The problem with BE isn't that he comes from Michigan. it's that he's got a big mouth and an attitude problem along with an inconsistent performance history... And because of those things, Yeah, he gets razed for being from Michigan.. but he doesn't get razed for JUST being from Michigan..
If he doesn't produce, I could care less what college he comes from. Conversely, if he produces, I could also care less what college he comes from...
College for these guys is over.. it's time to put up or shut up in the Pros...

per www.KFFL.comRams | Laurinaitis agrees to terms Comment (0) Tweet me! Wed, 29 Jul 2009 12:20:09 -0700 Jim Thomas, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports the St. Louis Rams have agreed to terms with second-round draft choice LB James Laurinaitis on a four-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed. Seems to me that Robo is pretty much slotted.

I wonder what's going on with Robiskie. He seems like a good kid who would be focused on football only. After reading several interviews from his dad it sounded like Brian would be among the first to sign.

And I don't see any Browns fans rooting against Jamal Lewis (the former Raven - which are hated more than any college).

Cowboys released WR Travis Wilson. Wilson, the Browns' third-round pick in 2006, injured his knee during OTAs and likely needed surgery. He was probably never going to make the roster.

About Robiskie? I wouldn't be surprised if it's the case.
This is merely speculation on my part but I remember the Kellen Winslow debacle. IIRC, Winslow's dad made it clear that Kellen should "take as much as he can from the league before the league takes it from you."
It must have something to do with former players and their experiences with the CBA or something to that effect.

Exactly, and I realize that. But he's already slotted where he is. This deal should be done by now.
Still, I think it will get done before full camp opens.

Just becuase he's slotted in a spot dosent mean he HAS to sign for that, he's pushing the button, waiting for the Browns to toss in another 250 grand or something, I agree with ya it should be done,

I see that Darrius Heyward-Bey has signed. Maybe we can use his numbers to get Robo into camp.

We gotta keep in mind that not one WR picked ahead of Massaquoi in the whole draft has been signed yet.
I'm thinking that if we see that Kenny Britt or Hakeem Nicks have signed, Robo shouldn't be too far behind.
