LOCKED: Browns BS Drama Continued...

Hue said they would a few weeks ago.

Oh, I know but unless that dude doesn't like money, he definitely screwed himself (looking at what he'll make versus what he lost). At the time he had that breakout year, he was arguably the best WR in football.

BR - do you still have an OBR membership? Supposedly Lane has some rumor central post saying Browns are obviously trying to make some moves.

No, but I think COA still does. LA usually has some good stuff but apparently they had no clue about the 3 trades that happened and they other insiders are pretty much crap, from what I've heard. I liked SOBO but I think he moved on to Bleacher Report.

Buddy of mine has one, there is nothing worth noting in there. I'll give you the latest update:

------ "The Browns have been proactive and very professional in talks."

Lane is such a prima donna asshat. OBR hasn't been good since ~2009 from my memory. Possibly before. It's clear they don't really have any inside scoop the way they used to.

Exactly. They used to have moles within the complex, I think, but now they really have nothing.

Nothing says upgrade over Crow like career backup McKinnon.

It's not that hard to upgrade over Crow. There are several RB FAs that I hope the Browns give a call though.

Was McKinnon on that list tho?

No.  McKinnon had nothing to do with my second sentence.  I just wanted to take a shot at Crow.

Not that you're talking draft, but that's kind of why I'm not "all in" on Barkley like some are with a top 4 pick. I'm fine with QB @ 1, Chubb @ 4 (or trade down with Buffalo for 12, 22 & more) and selecting Guice from LSU with the late 1st (trade with Buffalo) or early second. That dude runs with violence.

Couple of small signings today. An OT for one year and a DE for 3.

Bigger signing, offensive tackle from the Steelers (Hubbard) for 5 years. Played right tackle but can supposedly play both sides.

Not unhappy with Dorsey's trades but these FA signings are kind of garbage. The DL from Cincy is a rotational guy. The OL from Denver may not make it out of training camp and Hubbard is getting paid for limited experience. Dorsey was smart to trade before FA because it looks like he's missing out.

Ehh the Denver uh is a nobody. Depth signing, same as the Cincy guy. 

I think Hubbard will be fine, upgrade over Coleman and Haley must have seen something in him.

We have plenty of money. The real problem is missing on people like the CB who went to the Jets.

Not every FA signing is going to be a big splash. Or pan out.
