Or you could just answer my question? If you just bought a business, and you were unhappy with an employees performance, are you going to keep that employee around? Yes, or no?

Browns still going after Edelman hard.
The Bengals will match. I also see them locking down Burfict and AJ. Congtats to the Browns for at least makinng the Bungles com off the cash.

RT @AlbertBreer B/c of structure of Hawkins' now-signed offer sheet with Browns, I'm told Bengals rethought things, now unlikely to match

The best part is that I hit it right on the head and was right. Sucks to suck. How about you and Zwick go lick each other's assholes

Saw this. Not a fan of this guy. I'd rather have Edlemen over Hawkins

I wouldn't. You can replicate slot receiver skills (route running, catching in traffic, etc.) You can't replicate Hawkins' explosiveness.

I'd also rather have Edlemen.

Look, as long as this regime doesn't draft freaking Manziel with the #4 pick I'll be happy. So far, I've liked the moves they've made.

I'd take Hawkins over Edelman anyday. Edelman is a product of the system.

Right Hawkins only has 4 career touchdown catches, has missed 10 of his last 32 games, we have his speed in benjiman. Edlemen is a product of his system yup. Because he runs good routes, has great hands and only dropped 8 balls out of 157 targets. But Hawkins is way better

Benjamin isn't and won't ever be a slot reciever. He's a return specialist and that's all he'll ever be...so that point is moot on his speed.
Hawkins doesn't get the touches in cincy bc...
A. Green, Sanu, Gresham, and Jones get the first looks.
B. Dalton sucks.

If he's healthy and playing with Tom Brady, he gets the same numbers or better than Edelman.

I like Hawkins over Edelman, but would be happy landing either.

Oh and Hawkins only has 900 yards receiving over his three seasons and I think you missed the big point he has missed 10 out of his 32 games. Really reliable he iS

Well I'm glad you have a crystal ball and can tell who's playing and not in the future. Dumb

If he gets the targets, he'll produce. Or did you miss that point? Dude is explosive, shifty, and fearless. That's what I want in my slot guy.

Huh, I don't want Hawkins, I want Edelman. It's possible for guys to leave NE and still be good. Woodhead had a really nice year in SD, after leaving NE.

Right he has showed that in his three year career in cincy. With a whooping 900 yards and four touchdowns. Very impressive please be our slot guy. Love a guy that averages just over one touchdown a year. And is very durable.

How is Hawkins missing 10 games irrelevant? He can't stay healthy he's 5'7 and weighs 180.

Actually, it isn't a yes or no question. It's not like he inherited the guy.
