I copy & pasted a couple of Twitter posts that I saw on another site if it makes you happy. I didn't go to Twitter, copy one, and then say "oooh, better copy them both...TWO is better than ONE" going back to copy the other. I just copied the batch I saw.

I would gladly welcome Vickers back and cut Mareric. Dude can't stay healthy. Still a dumb draft pick.

Marecic isn't a bad pick for a 4th rounder. Not to mention he is costing the Browns less than half of what Vickers would cost.

Not to mention he was a rookie this past season. LOL at making up your mind on a FB after his rookie season. Glad COA is not the GM of the Browns.

Gives the browns half of what Vickers brought too.

He actually played in more games (14) than I thought he did. He should get better this year. I think he'll be fine, long as he stays on the field and avoids concussions.

He will definitely improve and actually has excellent hands out of the backfield which is a nice safety valve for a QB. Also, Vickers is one of the better FB's in the league, so being a rookie with limited NFL experience and knowledge and even being compared to Vickers is a compliment :)

Sorry to disappoint but there was one one tweet to cut & paste this time...

Adam Caplan ‏ @ caplannfl There might be some surprise releases in the next few hours if some veterans don't agree to paycuts.

He didn't display the hands this past season. Had 5 catches and probably 3 drops.

Yeah, he did have a few drops. Heard Hardesty was tutoring him.

Sounds like the Browns may not be a player for Matt Flynn. Apparently wants as much, if not more, than Aaron Rodgers.

Sounds like they've gone six to midnight on Tannehill.

Agents for Nakamura, Laurent Robinson & Levi Brown expect to hear from the Browns.

It also sounds like they are just going to lay back and wiat regarding WR's and maybe a veteran QB to pursue.

I just don't get the tanninghill thing. I really don't. He used to be a WR for christ sake.

Well, he can simply go fuck himself then.


Still hoping for Manning to go to the Cards, and Kolb to come to the Browns.

Think Bob Lamonte (agent for all of our front office)....it sounds like "good old boy/cronyism' to me. Not a fan of Tannehill but he was coached by Mike Sherman who knows this system. Holmgren & Sherman are "buds' and...you know the rest.

Still a lot of talk about getting HasselGOAT if the Titans end up with Peyton. Would be a nice stop gap...but they def need to draft somebody.

I just posted in the Manning thread....Lane Adkins from the OBR spoke with a former NFL QB (didn't give a name) who spoke with Manning today and it's sounding like Miami? Flynn's expectations are ridiculous, if true.

Hopefully that isn't true. Not too sure why Manning would want to play Brady twice. Im sure Goodell would love it though.
