2020 Browns

They have money to blow dont they?

Dont really see a downfall here.

With bookends of MG and Clowney and you have a very formidable front line.

I still think the Ravens take a big step back this year.  STeelers will depend on BR and I feel the bengals can make a big improvement but not enough to contend for the North.

Still have $43.3 million left, from what I've heard.

I think Baltimore will fall back to 10-11 wins. Pittsburgh, on their defense alone (depending on Roethlisberger) should be 9-7. Cincy will improve and seem serious about winning with their offseason and the Browns could be anywhere between 5-11 and 8-8.

This pandemic will put the Browns behind the 8 ball because the new coach/system won't be able to connect. If Cincy were smart, they would keep Dalton (assuming they draft Burrow) because JB will be way behind coming into a new systems as a rookie.

Id say F it and go for it.  It isnt like the salary cap money rolls over until the next year.

Or he could be playing the browns for a franchise that can win  now. The browns are likely 2-3 yrs from SB contention.

TBH, I think Clowney wants to return to the Sea Chickens but they gave him a pretty lowball offer, considering what he's looking for. I'd say he's likely playing them.

 I hope so. I dont want to see him in a browns uniform.

His value against the run is ridiculous. I think Seattle gave up an average of 99 yards vs the run when he played, 170 when he didn't

With as much cap space as they have there is really no reason to NOT open up the pocketbooks.  No one wants to 'overpay' a guy but sometimes you just have to, and with that space they can and wont hamstring them.  Baker is a couple of year off before he will command 30M plus so by the time he gets that $$ Clowney would likely be off their books.

Clowney is not Reggie White material, but when GB 'overpaid' for him it was a signal to other players, on the team and around the league, they were serious.

I think the bigger concern is his injury history and not being able to get him in for a physical but I'm sure the money is part of it.

Browns are revealing new uniforms on April 15th. Rumors are they are going back to the traditional look. I would be okay with this or their current color rush uniforms.

Anything will be better than the disgraceful things they’ve been wearing these last couple of years.

Sounds like it's going to be uniforms like the 80's Browns

Trade rumor of the Browns sending OBJ to the Vikings for a 2nd and a 5th

Unless he really is a j/o in the locker room I dont know why they would want to trade him.

Agreed on the Beckham trade. What's even worse is that the picks are supposedly for 2021.

Meh, on the new uniforms. Hope they didn't pay someone to design them. Could've called Bernie Kosar and said "can we have our 1986 uniform back?"

Now wait a minute. ALl i heard frmo browns fans over the last few years is how they hated their new unis and wanted to go back to their old school ones.

They are brown and orange, just got saddled with some terrible colors.

Yes on the new uni's
NO on trading Beckham

I was probably one of the few who liked em. I'm in the minority, hoping they would've done something wild(er) with them like the Seahawks. "Tradition" is bullshit as all the 1999 and on Browns know is losing.

Uniforms are nice. Especially like the all brown ones.

I have no problem picking up good draft picks while eliminating headaches.

We gave up a 1st and 3rd for him...don’t turn him around for just a 2nd and 5th
