IMO, any player that agrees to a contract with his team, and then at the last minute signs elsewhere for the same money is a scumbag.
The browns drafted him and put him on the map. They stuck with him although he missed many games. Screw him I hope Miami gets a little of his missed time, so they can see him for what he really is. A piss poor blocker, and a missing in action player. He has some talent, but he is not close to being a Gronk type player. IMO, there will be guys like him coming out at a dime a dozen.

Candlelight Cameron, can light it up when he is on fire but just a little blow is all it takes to put out his light.

Isn't this exactly why we never allowed twitter as a source before? It is often reported before being confirmed in the rush to be first.
 As long as you stick to Schefter, Clayton, etc.. Twitter is still right far more often than it is wrong. They are both pretty good about being clear about when something is fact, and when it's just something they heard. Somehow this one got all messed up, not a real good reason to completely disallow a pretty reliable source. For the record, there were entire news articles run based on Cameron back to the Browns.. they also would have been wrong but would have been allowed.

Panthers' Greg Olson is supposed to be a pretty good blocker - I know he's a good receiving TE.

My point remains the same. You don't have players like Jordan Cameron on your team because they are great blockers. You have them to catch passes.

Heath Miller used to be pretty good. He's up there in age now.

j/c I thought this was interesting. Reported by the Miami Herald: Cameron's deal was announced as two years and $15 million. But his cap charge is only $4.5 million this year while the 2016 number is $9.5 million. Furthermore, Cameron's $7.5 million 2016 base salary doesn't become fully guaranteed until the second day of the new league year. Unless he stays injury-free and produces at a high level, there's a good chance we'll be talking about Cameron as a cap casualty 11 months from now

At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

the real reason I was hoping we'd sign Cameron was so that we wouldn't feel forced to draft a TE with a high pick
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

That's one problem paying a guy like Suh that much money. The other problem, in this case anyway, is that you get a guy that has issues being an idiot on the field. I mean, it really looks as if he TRIES to injure people. he's heading for a longer suspension.

Pettine is wanting a hybrid, h-back/TE. I think that is why Jeff Heuerman is thought to be a good fit.

Cameron came from Californa, if he had a shot at getting out of the cold and playing for QB with some talent without losing money, he was gone...he got those things....don't miss him because he was hurt lots and next concussion, which will happen might finish his career....thanks for his efforts....glad he's gone....NOT FOR LONG....we need healthier TE....GO Browns!!!
