In particular this comment: " According to overthecap.com, Vernon’s $15 million contract is guaranteed on June 1. They can cut him before that and not pay him a dime. I went to OTC.com and did something I'd never done before, clicked on the drop menu (under the "Dead Money & Cap Savings" header) that defaults to "Cut (Pre-June 1)." Turns out there are 5 more options in the menu. I clicked on "Cut (Post-June 1)" and nothing changed... for Vernon anyway. Other players partial guarantees kicked in, but nada for Olivier. My guess is that his $15+mm would become guaranteed if he sustains a football injury. (Click on any other option and his salary figure turns "what-I-assume-is" red since turning green would make no sense ) So no rush to restructure or cut him... might even let him "test the market" (it worked with Higgie). But no way do I let him set foot in our facility unless we've already decided to keep him at any cost. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the biggest danger to a playoff team in Cleveland is Jimmy's inability to leave the staff in place for more than 15 minutes. Let alone five years.

" The Browns went into the off-season with a realistic view that they can’t fix everything on the roster." Plus Terry discovered his earlier Vernon salary mistake... " Earlier in the week, I wrote the Browns had to make a decision on Vernon’s $15 million contract by June 1. That’s wrong. They have until a week before the regular season opens to cut him without having to pay him." Not sure where the "week before" comes from, but feels "righter". I still think that if he were hurt prior to that then his contract may become fully guaranteed, but apparently that depends upon his individual contract's language. Only instance where an injury guarantee is automatic appears to be in the case of a team exercising a 1st-round draftee's 5th-year option... and that doesn't apply to Vernon, a 3rd-round pick entering his 9th season.

Tour2ma Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Quote 5. There are four key linebackers for three spots: Goodson, Wilson, Takitaki and Phillips. But it’s possible the Browns will use rookie safety Grant Delpit or veteran safety Karl Joseph near the line of scrimmage. That means they’d need only two linebackers. Feels to me like the underlined is the most likely scenario... at least it does as long as Delpit, Joseph and Sandejo are all healthy.

And he still ain't right according to Mayock's opinion after cutting him loose .. but am excited again to watch a lot of Kevin Johnson coming out of Wake Forest.. Greedy or Money Mitch will need to show up to work to keep their CB2 & or slot corner1 positions... If i could find 10lbs to add to KJ's frame? I'd turn KJ loose at free Safety..Johnson has always impressed me by taking some no wasted steps in tackling angles.. as always, it should be a huge factor as to whom can avoid the injuries at the wrong time... and Wills has the cleanest bill of health (by far) of any players we added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Under the hmmmm department........ Vernon has to be aware Jadeveon Clowney has not been a hot item on the free-agent market. I heard he’s still looking for a rich multiyear deal. Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has the same agent as Clowney (Bus Cook). The Browns are working on a long-term extension for Garrett, and that makes it easy for them to be aware of the status of Clowney. Vernon missed six games last season because of injuries. He seemed hobbled in at least two others. In 2017 (four missed games) and 2018 (five missed games), he had high ankle sprains. Vernon is 29, which isn’t extremely old for a defensive end. In his first five NFL seasons, he didn’t miss a game. In the last three, he’s missed 15........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations Terry. https://www.cleveland.com/sports/2020/04/plain-dealer-sports-columnist-terry-pluto-wins-national-headliner-award.html Plain Dealer sports columnist Terry Pluto wins National Headliner Award Plain Dealer sports columnist Terry Pluto, a Cleveland native, has covered sports for 43 years and also writes a regular Faith & You column. (Gus Chan / The Plain Dealer) The Plain Dealer By Plain Dealer staff CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Plain Dealer’s Terry Pluto was named Best Sports Columnist in the 86th National Headliner Awards announced Friday. “Terry Pluto writes with passion and authority and, best of all, a point of view. He isn’t afraid to call out team ownership, coaches and players, which is what a columnist should do. A strong voice in a sea of chatter,’’ judges wrote in comments about Pluto’s entries. Tim Cowlishaw of the Dallas Morning News placed second and Jeff Seidel of the Detroit Free Press was third. Pluto’s Headliner entry included the back story on how the Cleveland Cavaliers became interested in hiring Coach John Beilein (“It started at a wedding”), a column from the Browns-Steelers game that ended in a brawl (“Will they finally get the message that something is wrong?”) and the Browns finishing the season with a loss and unmet expectations. (“Season finally over, change must be coming”). Pluto has won numerous Ohio and national writing and reporting awards in a 43-year career. He also has worked at the Akron Beacon Journal, Baltimore Evening Sun and two other papers. He is in his 13th year of his second stay at The Plain Dealer. Pluto is a member of the Press Club of Cleveland’s Hall of Fame and in 2008 was its first recipient of the Chuck Heaton Award, given to the journalist who “best exemplifies the sensitivity and humility that, along with his journalism heart, were traits exhibited by Chuck Heaton during his exemplary career as a sports writer at The Plain Dealer.’’ Pluto, a graduate of Benedictine High School and Cleveland State, also writes a regular “Faith & You” column for The Plain Dealer and has authored more than 30 books about sports, religion and other topics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Terry's article in a nutshell: Q: What does this have to do with the Browns? A: The 49ers tend to do running back by committee. They believe you can find them most anywhere. Mostert is an example. It’s not where you spend big money. Q: What about David Njoku wanting to be traded? A: When it comes to the Browns’ tight end, just like I wrote last week ... you gotta be kidding! He hasn’t been productive enough to make that demand, although it’s a free country when it comes to these matters. We’ll see what the Browns do.

mjp28 Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 It appears that the BROWNS have their one bookend DE and can now build around that. I loved Terry's quote on the deal: ......He would be less likely to sign an extension and far more tempted to play out the 2021 season and hit the open market... And yes, the Browns would look stupid again – especially because Garrett has a sincere interest in staying with the team....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 I liked this little tidbit: "How about this? Garrett is the only player selected in the top five of the 2017 draft who merited his fifth-year option being picked up by the team. So there were a lot of draft mistakes looming in 2017."
