Louisville Slugger Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Do you think we can get the asking price to go down by taking on Fitzgeralds contract? A change of scenery may do him some good and even if he sucks we cut him and we still get Peterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBrown Posted October 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Larry fitz is a very short term fix to a long term problem. We’re not in a position to give up any trade assets for him. Peterson is different he’s 28 an elite player at a premium position in his prime. I’m sure we’ll be calling. Does he only want to go to a “contender” though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Ward and Peterson would be a tantalizing combination... But it doesn’t seem like something Dorsey would do.

Does he only want to go to a “contender” though? What makes you think the Browns are not a contender in the AFCN? Steelers are 3-2-1, Ravens and Bengals are 4-3, Browns are 2-4-1. By my reckoning that means they are only 1.5 games out of the division lead, with 4 more division games to go. Plus, they actually own the best division record to this point. IF they got a Peterson....it would mean they WOULD in my opinion be a contender, as one of our biggest problems is the need for a shut down corner. And if you look long term, it looks even better for the Browns. Fair to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I am wrong....but didn't Bert Bell go on to become the Commissioner of the NFL? He did...see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Bell Now, that would be a perfect job for Hue.....Not Commish...but some job in the NFL office as a coffee fetcher.

Dutch Oven Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 It's interesting how LondonBrown never thought the Browns record in 2016 and 2017 should be used against Sashi Brown, but with Hue its perfectly fine. Very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterson wants a trade because he wants to win a Championship... now... so that kinda eliminates us. Nevertheless, he has like 2.5 years left on his deal. He would have to go wherever he is traded to. I think he really just want New Orleans, because it is home....and because they have a fair chance at getting to the Super Bowl. As for eliminating the Browns.....maybe for 2018, but FYI, with the right people, i.e. QB particularly, coaches in place, a quick turnaround is highly possible. Patriots went from 5-11 to Super Bowl Champs with BB/TB Rams went from 4-12 to Super Bowl Champs with Vermeil/Warner Look at the Rams just two years ago..and where McKay/Goff have them now. They were awful 2 years ago. Browns went from 5-11 in 1984 to 8-8 in 1985 to 12-4 in 1986 with the right coach/QB combo. Could this happen with Browns? I believe so. (but not with this coach....hell....give me Jeff Fisher instead) Edit: and think what the Browns had at DB back then: Dixon/Minnifield. Peterson/Ward? Could surpass that duo.

Would the Cards take a lesser deal, just to make him happy? Our first round pick will be way better than the Saints should Dorsey think it's worth giving up that much.
