Hoodums19 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 What the actual fuck. You cut a decent producing veteran that couldve mentored Njoku, and who had a pro bowl worthy season 2 years ago. They have some explaining to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoodums19 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Also, you're telling me NO TEAM is looking for a tight end that has expierience, can block decently, has size, and can catch? Getting nothing back for him is disgraceful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFBF Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 It's being looked at as a favor to him in that it gives him more time to hook up with a Team versus waiting until Training Camp. Makes sense, though I still hate to see him go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunate we couldnt get anything for him It's better for him to cut him now rather than ride him through pre-season and then cut. At least he has a chance to sign with and impress someone else for a few months. ^ ^ great minds think alike JAFBF :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoorta Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Jeez he's not Gronkowski. Still rebuilding, relax Know what? I'm tired of this crap. He's not Gronk, But at a projected $3.8 million, he wasn't getting paid like him either. Same deal as Pryor. Moneyball to the extreme. And to those who haven't figured out the direction this team is headed. Let me give you what I remember of Sashi's quote. "We still have a lot of holes to fill". Translation: "were going to suck (again) for Sam (Darnold). Our goal this year is to improve- from 1-15 to 3-13. This will be another year where Haslam is going to be questioning his decision if he put the right guys in place. Sashi must be 100% confident he's got 5 years to get the Browns in order, or he wouldn't be pushing picks into 2018. London- I'm glad I didn't totally commit to the England trip, because I'm not flying over there and spend big bucks, only to watch the Browns get embarrassed. Hey I like that one. "Suck for Sam". Something I can get behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runyon27 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I don't understand the rush to cut Barnidge. I think its obvious his time was winding down, but I probably would have kept him through this season to give me an experienced guy who can help mentor the other guys and phase him out. I don't see the advantage to cutting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 This smacks of the old: "he's not one of our guys" bullshit. Is every player that was not selected specifically by this front office get show the door because they were not "our guy". I agree, its like: he is to be all of 32 this year, so lets get rid of him because he is that old. What can DeValve do that Barnidge can't? Other than be a choice of this front office?

I think its obvious his time was winding down, but I probably would have kept him through this season to give me an experienced guy who can help mentor the other guys and phase him out. I don't see the advantage to cutting him. It's simple really-a 32 year old TE wasn't worth playing over the young TE core we have to play for the future on a rebuilding team. He wasn't going to be on the team next year so keeping a guy on a maybe 4-5 win team getting reps over future players isn't some wild idea. They did him a professional solid instead of dragging him along too. It's the NFL, it happens all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FALCON7 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Njoku is a Hybrid, not a typical TE, seems like they would have been on the field a lot together... Not a fan of this move at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoeticG Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Great job Gary, it was an honor to watch you play, you made so amazing grabs for us! Thank you and best of luck! That said, we still only won a handful of games. I know it's not all on GB but this move opens up the TE position for DeVo and NoJok to reck the defense. They are both big and fast and can make plays. Get ready, this is gonna be fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyceRolls Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 They save 2.1 mil in cap space next year. Barnidge had more than 2.1 mil worth of production left imo, but what do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
