tiamat63 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 6'4 receiver worth a look in camp and pre-season. If he's one of our 5 best... ya never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jiggins7919 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 It was a bizarre scenario, and one that left Browns fans completely confused and especially angry, considering the whole Kenny Britt disaster. And the funny thing was, everyone KNEW it was bad advice from his agent. We knew Pryor wanted to stay here, he'd said as much, multiple times. What I cannot understand is how everyone can know it's bad advice except for the player. Still, I'd love to bring him in for competition. Pryor is a completely different player than anyone on our roster, and I believe comparisons to Derrick Willies are a bit premature at this point. Pryor isn't exactly an experienced WR per say, but a 1000 yard season is nothing to scoff at, and the guy made some plays for us. Additionally, he was terrific catching the ball and running with it, and Mayfield is extremely accurate and shines delivering the ball to people in stride. It's something to consider, and it's also important to remember that Pryor excels at high-pointing the ball, something we don't have other than Njoku.

Zombo Not that I want Pryor, but Willies has all of 3 career receptions. Then again, Pryor has pretty much fallen off the face of the earth since playing for the Browns.

Orion Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Him and his agent thought he should be paid as one of the very best receivers in the game. Nobody else agreed. He screwed up. Which lead to us screwing up and signing Britt. Thanks a lot Pryor. - He was always a 15 yard unsportsman-like penalty waiting to happen anyway.

Z What's the issue with Pryor contending against a youngster? I'm still not seeing the issue here. You implied Pryor can't catch, I clearly proved you wrong and now you go full hyperbole. I would have little issue with Terrelle coming back and working to earn a spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't say he couldnt catch, saying we've got more reliable options that are younger and in the system. If I'm John Dorsey I'm gonna keep drafting young prospects and developing them for those bottom of the roster spots. Pryor just failed with 3 teams. He had a big year with us when he was the only option. Career wise hes only 55% or lower catch rate and only 7 TDs in four seasons as a receiver. Not a model teammate. He has been given plenty of opportunities, no room for him on our roster anymore we are moving up and moving ahead with guys Dorsey is bringing aboard.

I used Willies as an example because he has the height, he was catching everything in camp last year and he's young with potential to progress up, where as Pryor's career is trending down. And he's 6th ... I've got 5 more guys I like for that roster spot better too ... and that is predraft, pre free agency. Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 pryor's arrogance does NOT FIT the TEAM that the Browns have built. Not interested. There will be several ex-Browns who will be wishing they'd stayed with the Browns - who are probably/certainly going to the playoffs next year...after winning the division.

CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 He decided to bet on his potential when he should’ve played it safe and taken the 32 mil deal. If he stayed he’d have guaranteed money and a franchise QB. Who knows though..Dorsey probably would’ve traded him for a 4th anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevfan4life Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 id bring him in let him compete. As long as he understands he's part of a receiving corp. He's not the #1 option just cause he walked into camp. If the staff feels he still has that ego about him, which I doubt cause he hasn't really done well anywhere else...than cut him. Give him a chance tho. He could be extremely valuable and come at a very very good price. Of course if there's a "stud" WR available at 17 when we pick, than yeah..pass cause that WR room will be too full. But if not, I'd rather bring him in than Odell Beckham if that was even on the table. The reason is I don't think Odell would do well in Cleveland when things got rough again. Odell is just not a clevleand guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsympathetic Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Dislike. Those bottom of the roster WR's have to play ST, which Pryor's ego wouldn't let him do. Corey Coleman also is on the street... and for the same reason I don't want to see him in Berea either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: anyone over the age of 15 using the phrase butt hurt always struck me as.... just creepy. But that's your business. To recap. Pryor can catch and has demonstrated so. You however believe the combination of attitude, age, bad blood and some potential in the pups is worth a more meaningful look without Pryor's presence. There, that wasn't so hard.

Been there, done that. Move along now. We don't know if there may be some stud WR that the Browns may want to pick up in FA or in the draft. I suspect they will look at several options.....but signing Pryor is about the remotest of those options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
