I'm out of the country for work (cue the MB jokes lol), but I thought I saw the Browns signed Miles Austin and someone else yesterday (Earl Bennett maybe)?? Internet is spotty, so I probably won't be able to read any response until I'm back anyway lol.

Makes sense to me. Gives the player/team the opportunity to find the best fit.

Michael Silver hits the nail on the head regarding the lunacy of muzzling Johnny Football. He cites the growth and development of Russell Wilson.

Lol, Russell Wilson has absolutely nothing in common aside from being a rookie (then and now) and being a QB. Stupid comparison.

Christ, it's not about muzzling, it's about making him earn his position.

This deal about texting Loggains is a little disturbing if that's how it went down. After all the evaluations, you gonna pick the guy because he sent a text? I changed my tune on Farmer being genius. He was far luckier than being shrewd. Jerry Jones will be vilified in a couple of years for passing on Elvis. Romo is in the twilight of his career. I have my doubts about the Sammy Wadkins trade too. I expect Buffalo to make the playoffs this year with the 2 Clemson superstars.

I've spent some time looking at the picks today. Mostly the later round guys. Damn, on paper Ray Farmer appears to be a genius. Every one of these guys will contribute a large amount this season. I know they went in with 10 picks, and only ended up with 6, but who gives a damn. What % of those late round guys ever become starters (or even make the team) anyways? I wouldn't be shocked if West starts over Tate. At the very least he will be splitting carries. I think Buster Skrine would be a damn good nickelback, but I'm not sure he will even earn that spot over Desir. Would be interesting to see Desir go to FS, but from what I've read, that hasn't came up. Bitonio will be a great asset to the O-line. I'm not sure what Kirksey's ceiling is, but he does appear to add a lot of flexibility to the LB corps. Will probably play outside, but can play inside if needed and is good in pass coverage. Maybe a 3rd down LB?

Depth, talent, and a ton of potential and flexibility added in the offseason. Not to mention the nice FA additions pre and post draft. Really can't find anything to complain about. Well, besides fucking Josh Gordon.

I know it's hard to follow 2 teams, but Kirksey will play ILBer. Bitonio will pwn.

I don't see him playing on the inside regularly unless its during passing situations, but we will see. He played all LB positions at Iowa.Cute avatar, btw.

Can't wait for the first exhibition game. Because of the designated second string quarterback, Haslem will be able to sell the advertisements for 4 times what he paid last year. The ratings will be off the charts.

Did anyone see the hilarious twitter replies to Greg Little tweeting about circling the date on the Calender when Oakland plays Cleveland?

I thought the best one was "Did you drop the pen in the process of circling the date?"

Thats good stuff right there.

CUtting him is the classic example of addition by subtraction. Steelers did that a few years ago with Sweed. Fucker couldnt catch a cold.

Did some reading up on the NFL drug policy. Gordon will be suspended 6 games tops. Book it.
