hoorta Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Total blow up of the roster. Let all the FAs walk. May as well let Joe Thomas go to the Broncos, and get ready for a 0-16 season. If Sashi has a plan- I'd like to know what the hell it is.... The little birdie says cheap, cheap, cheap. Maybe some VSOP Hennesy might calm me down. :angry: :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogicIsForSquares Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 I am super bummed that we lost the dynamic players who got the Browns to 3-13. If I were to guess, they are placing a higher value on the compensatory picks that will come of this than the players. This is a true rebuild.

One Post Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 It's not a good free agent year. Ya their are some top tier players that were available but look who they went to. Jags? Giants? Raiders? Prff. They're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. There's crazy money out there this year for a down year meaning some bonehead contracts will happen. I say make plenty of moves for depth on the lines. Also if you want to go out and get a wr go for Wallace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownPile Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Reminiscent of the 90-91 Indians. Blew up team to put money into farm system. End result worked, but those were some tough seasons to live through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 My opinion... if a player wants to play other teams against the Browns in negotiations, then those players won't get a patsy in that process. Bitonio, Joe Thomas....are the kind of guys who don't play that crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always just pout about it or accept that this is an actual rebuild where the front office seems focused on building through the draft. The old strategy of being a retirement plan for aging players doesn't seem to jive with the new front office. Hell, even with them blowing up the franchise they will likely still win more than 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old strategy of being a retirement plan for aging players doesn't seem to jive with the new front office. Hell, even with them blowing up the franchise they will likely still win more than 3 games. Aging players? Go look at the ages of the guys who walked. I'm sooooo excited we re-signed that key Special teams ace Tank Carder. NOT! I guess the bright side of this is with all the departures, the Browns have to have the most Cap space in the NFL- plus a bunch of compensatory picks coming. (we just traded Mack for a likely comp 3rd). We might even be under that Cap floor- which to my mind means we're going to be stuck overpaying for second tier garbage. Hey Ghoolie, maybe if we pay Joe Thomas $20 million- that will take care of that problem, LOL. Unless we pick up a few FA OL, drafting Goff or Wentz is suicidal- shades of '99 with Couch. Corgnac- next some single malt Laphroig to ease the pain and realization, we're diving for the basement. Sashi- you screwed to pooch day one. Got anything better up your sleeve?

More a reference to Dansby, Whitner, Bowe, Williams, Starks, McCown,etc. The only free agent who walked that I have concern about was Schwartz.
