Great perspective... I've always been a fan of being in the elements for football. It's just the way I was raised. I prefer outdoor stadiums. However, if a new domed stadium attracts the talent necessary to win a Super Bowl. Do it. Right now. Everyday of the week and twice on Sundays. It's where the game is heading...

Go Tribe! I wasn't expecting this. I just hope it's consistent and not a flash in the pan.

The gray facemasks are classic. I was happy when they brought them back in the mid to late 2000s. It's unfortunate those teams were so bad.

The best Browns teams in my lifetime all had white facemasks. If we can rekindle some of that magical run of the mid to late 80s, I'd be a-okay.

I'm with you there. SoFi in LA cost around $5B to build. Allegiant in Las Vegas cost around $2B and that would have been pre-COVID pricing.

Just think about all the guaranteed money we're all leaving on the table by not putting up numbers...

Good back and forth in the 4-5 exchanges here. This is what analytics brings us. It's all about timing the pendulum and, now, with the fuzzy math GMs can create with contracts, it's going to pad the blow of failure even more. Missing on a transaction used to seem like such a nail in the coffin now. Now, teams shrug it off, willingly eat the money and jump in line to throw the dice again. Those analytics have moved to the league offices as well. The NFL knows it has pretty well tapped out it's true, traditional customer base. It needed new horizons and willingly hitches itself to the wagons of Taylor Swift and sports gambling. GMs want/need each because the money will just keep getting bigger and bigger. Maybe that makes the math less fuzzy, my guess is that it will only make the math more fuzzy.

It's cool. I like Vrabel's confidence. I don't expect him to be part of the Browns more than one season. I'll just enjoy it while he's in Cleveland.

$8.7M...

Andrew Berry is building this team to give DW the best possible opportunity to win. Berry may not admit this publicly, he is also taking away any excuse DW could make.

"But wait.....there's more...."

Good thing we kept the DL. Now need some LB.

I 100% agree that the Bengal game was a disaster. It killed four solid weeks of momentum.

It's safe to say that Flacco won't be coming back. I hated him as a Raven, enjoyed him as a Brown. November and December were my most enjoyable moments, as a fan, since 1994. I trust Berry, he must believe it was a flash in the pan. In the moment, I hope it was as well. I'd hate to see him go somewhere and light it up. But I understand the move, the Front Office doesn't want the stadium chanting Flacco, the first time DW throws a pick.

Walker couldn't stay healthy and replicate the productivity he had with the Colts. Very happy with Za'Darius Smith coming back.

Similar in percentage to the Brock Osweiler numbers when he came to the Browns. Not what he was paid but what the Browns paid vs what the Broncos paid.

The Steelers are paying him $1.2M, the Broncos $38M for the 2024 season.

Correct.

Scrolling through some comments from Broncos fans. They're 50/50 on the trade. Half are sick they only got a 5th & a 6th for him. The other half are saying good riddance for no effort. Mark Schlereth was critical of Jeudy. Denver is a tough situation. I think the change of scenery will do him well. I'll take a guy that averages 14.5 yards a catch any day of the week.

Jerry Jeudy Contract

I found something similar reading that went into a little further detail.

If anyone is looking for a guy to not play QB, I'll gladly offer my services and for a fraction of the price.

Funny you mention Justin Fields, because the Justin Fields to the Browns articles were flying yesterday.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Touche, @Korsou Dawg. You got me!
