dawgpound3 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...s-on-the-block/ It reports that Seattle has put TJ houshmanzadeh on the block. Could this be the veteran presence the Browns need?? Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowe Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I would like this pickup only if the price is right. The guy is not bad but he is a tad bit overrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawgpound3 Posted September 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 TJ contract with Seattle, I believe, is mostly incentive based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I would like this pickup only if the price is right. The guy is not bad but he is a tad bit overrated The "price" I understand is 7 million dollars. Now, I usually hate to talk about player salaries because who really cares except their wives....but in this case that price would definite be an overreach as I see it.

Thaak Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 No, he's an overpaid diva who whines when he doesn't get the ball... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gips Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Yeah why not get him we wouldnt want to wait and get a WR that can run the 40 faster than 4.8 and still catch the ball on this team..the cleveland browns have a legendary definition of what speed is, uhhh look at him go holy cow a blazing 4.6 and he almost caught the pass! hehehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miktoxic Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 why is everyone so bent on acquiring these guys that their team has no interest in anymore? let our receivers develop and leave this bum alone. what are you going to do when you see all the cuts, list another ten guys that we 'need'?

slowburn Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 What the heck.......WtH is 7 million in the grand scheme of things:: Consider: 1. legit downfield threat willing to bang 2. excellent hands 3. experiemced as a go to guy with his all pro QB 4. Knows what it take to win ball games 5. Overall down to earth guy with minimal if any outside habits/influences 6. Adds downfield breakaway threat to the needy Browns 7. Let him pisss and moan all he wants as long as he is contributing What the hell is their to think about.... Sign him now and give him Robiskies parking spot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4Browns Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Billionaire owner and an uncapped year. If mangini and holmgren think he could help then why the hell not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzadeliveryguy Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Trading for and over paying an overrated, aging #2 WR when there are younger players that have a chance to develop into nice players in a season where the playoffs seem out of reach may be the dumbest idea possible.

Squintz Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I could give a shit less how much he gets paid if he can come in, produce and help the young WRs get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgTracker Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Two years ago I would have been all for this. Whos your momma took a ton of pressure off chad and all he did was catch passes for 1st downs. He was usually double covered when making them. But, I'm not sure he has that much left which is why seattle is trading him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoorta Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Billionaire owner and an uncapped year. If mangini and holmgren think he could help then why the hell not? Because the guy's 33 years old, getting franchise money- which he's not worth- and Seattle's not going to give him away free. & help with what? Like maybe one more win, and take reps from Robo and Massaquoi? Veteran presence? We have Ingram, assuming he doesn't get cut- and he's probably playing for vet minimum.

Earl34 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 I'm sorry but Houshmanzadeh is NOT a "legitimate downfield threat". He's a possession receiver and that's about it. I don't think he really adds anything to the receiving corps. If we add a WR it needs to be someone with deep threat ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerb4 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 I wouldnt mind us picking him up. look at it this way, if we have a good year and can potentially make a playoff push wouldnt it be nice to have a pretty good vet. reciever to help us out? we have ingram(thats if he survives the cut) but housh is a definate upgrade. i like our young wr's and would like to see them progress, but if we got a shot we need all the help we can get.

WRREBEL Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Guys first off as you know he was released. The second point though contract would be league mininum. Seatle has to pay the difference of what ever a team pays him to make his 7 mill dolla contract. So any team that picks him up will be league minium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawgpound3 Posted September 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Especially if Robo is a dud and doesn't shape up. We can cut him, sign Housh, cut our losses and draft a better WR down the line. But MoMass, Housh, Stuckey, Cribbs and Engram would be viable. Browns may go after Michael Clayton, who just got released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they aren't going to cut Robiskie after the great offseason he's had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawgTracker Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 He could help the team this year but it would probably be at the expense of a rookie with raw ability. I think he goes to an almost sure playoff team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLEVELandMILIDH Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Why is everybody obsessed with developing young players. These undrafted and late round pics you want to develop more than likely wont cut it. Everybody wanted to develop Alex Hall, Beau Bell, Martin Rucker etc. etc are they even in the league anymore....... Why not get a capable guy that can contribute until we use a early round pick to fill the position or somebody develops how there supposed to. Guys that people talk about developing wont get playing time anyway, so who exactly would these proven vets be taking playing time from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't talking about guys like Alex Hall, Martin Rucker, Carlton Mitchell, et. al. We are talking about guys like Massaquoi, Robiskie, and Stuckey. And nothing ruins good team chemistry, which the Browns seem to have, more than a locker room Cancer, which Housh is from all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
