Very good point, I was speaking financially.

Agreed. I also was impressed with the class and leadership he showed by shaking hands after the game while the rest of his teammates ran off the field. I don't want him, but I do think he will be the most ready of this QB class.

You guys really think Winston will be a good NFL QB?
I think some of it comes down to time and place for the QB's. Not really sure Winston is the guy, seems to turn the ball over too much.
Ya gotta trade Gordon, but what will you get? What pick would you browns fan accept for Gordon?

Read an interesting piece on where the Browns might use some of their projected $55 million in cap space in FA. Besides obviously trying to re-sign a few current players, they said that Farmers "M.O" has been to sign FA's "up the middle" of the defense. Nose Tackle will be a likely priority with the names of Suh & Gerald McCoy being thrown out, if they hit FA. Also mentioned a big time mauling RG is a priority. No mention of WR.

I thought Gerald McCoy already signed an extension.

Curious to see how many "incidents" there are this summer, and how long he lasts on the team...

He will last on the team.
Unless he gets into trouble.
He is allowed to go out and have some fun. It is the offseason. He will be a target though, more so than most players, just because of the persona he created.

Why all the Mariotta v Winston talk here? Neither will be around at #12. 3rd best WR , DL, or OL would be where they will be heading.

It just came up.

But, Gordon and 2 firsts is a nice bargaining chip to move up...

Not sure you can ban someone from a city, but I'd be all for it.

Not saying it would be a good move or not. Simply saying they have the tools to do it.

I'm not worried about Shanahan leaving. They are also interviewing THE Legend, Pat Shurmur. No way he doesn't get the job. Hopefully it brings FakePatShurmur back on twitter too.

SMH... At people who say can you prove he raped the girl. You might as well become Steeler fans and cheer on Roethlisberger.

Precisely why I don't want him. Goes back to that hypocrite thing. We've all ripped on Yinzer fans for backing a rapist. How would it be any better if we cheered for Winston after giving Steeler fans shit for the last few years?

Yeah I am behind that, not behind "can't root for such on my team because he is a mean player on the field :(" argument though.

I think the hypocrit reason would be the dumbest excuse to not want/bring in Winston.

Mistaken identity. It was Roethlisberger. ;)

Early mock from DPN. Likes/dislikes?
