Not gonna complain about that, now if he can stay on the field for an entire season that would be an added bonus.

daaaaaaaang that's a lot of dough.

Well, glad to have him back.

Shocked he's back, but I like it. It's a short term deal that lets us see if he can maintain his health and stay on the field.

Cameron is a very good receiving threat. He may not be a great blocker, but this team needs weapons, and JC is just that if he can stay healthy.

Seems like he didn't have a market elsewhere ... it's pretty much about what I'd offer him as well

We'll see if he has incentives or if all $15 mill are guaranteed

I'll be surprised if this is true.... definitely going to wait for confirmation before thinking much of anything of it.

"But, but we have to spend $35M this year!!" j/k

Actually, I think it is a bunch of money too. I think the Browns got a little nervous with the allegedly already existing offer sheet from Buffalo and the rumors of the Dolphins trying to sign Clay long-term.....jumped on the sure thing.

Hopefully he can stay healthy and I would not rule out another TE in the draft.

Not trying to be a Negative Nancy, I'm very happy to have him back... but - I hope there are incentives in that contract that would be mindful of his health.

I hope Josh McCown or whoever the Hell we'll have back there is also mindful of his health and don't launch the ball when he's in heavy traffic and open to destructive hits. Hoyer was not.

I'm surprised, but happy to see it. Don't think the Browns were going to be able to sign Clay, and not many other TE options out there.

Now if we can sign Cameron Jordan, this will be great. I'm okay with the signing until he misses most of training camp with concussion-like symptoms and the same hold true four weeks into the season. But, one can dream....

As many bad moves this FO has made or should I say hasn't made, this is a good move. They have to spend that money somewhere and Cameron can be a stud when healthy. Just a crying same we have absolutely nobody to throw him the rock.

You better go to a different thread and start bashing the FO again..

Get all that positive stink off of ya..

I had more faith in Gordon not getting popped for being stupid this time last year than I do in Cameron staying healthy right now.

Fingers crossed...

Well, one thing for sure.........the tone of the posters sure has changed since we kept him.

He may have gotten injured while attempting to sign his name on the Miami contract.

Somebody needs to block for him. Take that a few ways. Welcome back.

This is who I thought we signed when I first read the title.

Oh well, I'll be in the minority on this one. I didn't want him back. I wasn't happy with the amount of time he spent in the trainers room. Here's to hoping that was only a problem in 2014.

I'm just glad you don't call me "osu" anymore.. *shudders*

He is one more concussion away from being done in the NFL. Hope he can stay healthy

The money isn't ridiculous, maybe Vernon Davis type of money, but the question becomes how many games will he play to earn that money?

Way too much for a one dimensional TE, who's had multiple concussions and is coming off a bad season. This was probably a standing offer from the Browns and his agent probably quickly told him that no other team would go over 5mil per.

Cameron now makes 500k less than Jimmy Graham and 1mil less than Gronk. Good for him.

Ouch.

I hope it has a protection clause in it, like if he misses so many games then the $$$ get bumped down.

Not true according to this:

The worst part about it: what kind of message does this send through the locker room?

Cameron played terribly last season and gets 7.5mil. He always was and is a "low effort" player.
Otoh, guys like Rubin, Skrine and Sheard, while also struggling, at least gave 100% all the time and overall had better seasons. Yet, those guys get shown the door and sign for much less elsewhere. What kind of message is that? Retaining and overpaying the "relaxed" surfer dude over guys who actually "played like a Brown" for their entire rookie contract.

Just further proof that these guys are absolutely clueless. Total disconnect to the locker room. They don't have a plan or it's really a bad one.

I can't even find him on there. Please elaborate.

At least get your numbers right, he's not making anywhere near Gronk or Graham money, more like Davis, Olsen or Whitten.

See above.

Man, I hate agreeing w/you.........LOL

....and, I really do want to give these guys a fair chance, but I am not getting their decisions.

I work all day and come on here really hoping for good news, and then I read these confounding moves.

I'm beginning to think Farmer is an idiot. I am not sure that he is and am willing to change my mind. I just want him to show me something...........anything......that would lead me to believe he has a clue.

And true according to this:

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/cap-hit/tight-end/

Could be that the annual AVG is different. Just looked it up. He's even higher up when you list per AVG salary:

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/tight-end/

4th highest TE salary tied with Olsen, just 1.5mil less than Gronk, 1.7 less than J.Thomas and 2.5 less than Graham.

Still those other 4 guys have played at the highest level for years. Cameron had one strong season surrounded by a lot of nothing and concussions. He's becoming the Braylon Edwards of TEs and we just paid him like a top 5 player at his position.

Per PFF he rated as the 3rd worst FA TE out of 35 or so. Browns are raiding the PFF scrub FAs, as Hartline and McCown were among the worst at their positions. So sad

So, this is false?



Not being snarky. Just asking. I appreciate the knowledge.

This is funny. Several hours ago people were moaning we didn't do enough to sign our players, now many are complaining we might have paid too much and hope there are incentives.

LOL....had the guy signed elsewhere people would have been bitching how we didn't want to spend money and let a good player walk.




And the beat goes on....and the beat goes on
