Browns Preseason 2019

posted by like_that

Hopefully you're right, but I don't see this dramatic drop off that everyone is forecasting. 

I don't think it will be extremely drastic but I think it will be enough for the Browns to pass both of them.

Me too. I think the Rats & Steelers could drop to around .500 and the Browns should vault above .500. A lot of this was predicated on what the Browns did in FA and the draft, especially defensively.

Man I hope the Browns go after Stephen Gostkowski. We'd be talking about Browns coming off of a playoff run if we had a kicker last season. Though we might actually stiull have Hue as well, soo [shrugs].

They wouldn't have made the playoffs even if they had a kicker. Close games like Carolina & Denver that dumbass would've "Hue'd" them away.

Hicks signs a 4 year deal in Arizona. Kind of glad we avoided that. I don’t know if he can stay healthy.

It will interesting to see what Dorsey does because the LB's that were considered the top (Mosley, Barr, Hicks, Alexander & Smith) are now all gone and, frankly, the Browns could use an upgrade at all three positions. 

Well now....

Don't be surprised if Dorsey's real splash is Odell Beckham, and soon. At least, I won't be.

Via @JosinaAnderson on NFL LIVE: there is an AFC North team that as recently as today continues to inquire on Odell Beckham, Jr.'s availability and discussions have remained ongoing.

Starting to see this lots of places now.

The Giants moving on from OBJ makes a lot of sense. Gettleman has already made it known that they want to make Saquon Barkley the face of that franchise. Step 1, trade for Zeitler. Building up that O-Line for a ball control/ground & pound attack likely won't sit well with a diva-ish WR who wants his touches and has a crappy QB throwing him the ball.

Like you said, we're seeing more & more of this...

Jeremy Powell@JeremyinAkron

Wait. @NathanZegura just said he knows OBJ’s list and The Browns are on it

Benjamin Allbright✔@AllbrightNFL

He knows what hes talking about

Have heard from a few places this might already be a done deal and they're waiting to announce it. Take it FWIW because I don't consider the sources super reliable.

why are they waiting to announce it?

Would probably take a 1st rounder and then some..if the Raiders get AB for a 3rd and a 5th, i'll be pretty pissed if we give up a first rounder.

I've heard numerous packages such as 1st, 3rd & Ogbah, this year's 2nd, 3rd, next year's 1st & Ogbah, etc. The prices I've heard are way too steep and I hope Dorsey doesn't love the guy THAT much if it happens.

Roby to the Broncos, so he's out.

Ha whoops, dunno why I typed that.  Newest OBJ that's flying around, which mean it's probably fake, is a 1st, next years 2nd, and Ogbah.  Would you do that?  I think I would.

OBJ has put up numbers only Jerry Rice has...with like, 1.5 years of competing Eli? Guy is a fucking monster. He’s also entering his prime, where as Brown is exiting. He will, and should cost a lot. Plus he isn’t demanding a trade or refusing to play, etc. 

I’m all for building through the draft and subtle FA acquisitions. But I’m also not gonna kill Dorsey for getting Beckham, whatever it costs, to pair with a Baker. Numbers wise, Beckham is worth it.

Yeah, the more I thought about my post, the more I am changing my mind on that. Steelers bascially had to trade AB; Giants do not have to trade OBJ. It will definitely cost a 1st. Hopefully Dorsey can give next year's first since we would all hope it'd be in the 20's, and get to keep 17 this year.

How about 2nd this year, and next year's 1st. Call it a day
