Good for JT, although he should have been the man for MNF.   I would say I am not sure why ESPN is doubling down on booger, but ESPN loves to make the wrong decision for on air talent all the time. 

ESPN continuing to make an ass out of it's self since mid 2000s

Looks like OBJ and duke will both be at OTA’s and participate. From the looks of it Duke won’t be getting traded and I’m ok with that.

Luxury to have Duke. I'm indifferent on him. On 3rd downs I'd rather see them go 5 wide with OBJ, Landry, Higgins, Callaway & Njoku then have Duke in the mix. Just wondering where he's going to get touches. Unless Chubb gets dinged up, I don't see him getting the ball much.

I agree with your assessment, but if we can only get a 6th or 7th round pick, I'd rather keep him as insurance. If a team gets into injury problems and wants to overpay, I'd be happy with a trade.

I understand that thinking (as insurance) but it's more likely he rides the pine.

Don't they still need him the first 8 weeks of the season, who would be the #2 back until then?

Frankly, I think his skill set is easily replaced. One of these undrafted free agents they got could probably fill in during that time. He's a nice luxury to have but not a necessity.

I lean toward BR's thoughts on Duke.  I am not as loyal to him as many other Browns fans are.  I don't get the love.  The Browns hardly use him, and he isn't a superstar level type of player.  If he is traded I won't cry over it, but I also won't be upset if we keep him.

I am not loyal to Duke, just looking at first 8 weeks of Donte Hilliard as the #2/ 3rd down back and pondering what that would produce

With the weapons they have, they may not need/use a 3rd down back. I get what you're saying about Hilliard being the #2 though. With the passing threat they have, I think he'd do ok.

TB has released Gerald McCoy. Will be interesting to see if Dorsey pounces on him.

More OTAs today. Landry, OBJ, Calloway, Duke, Njoku, and Randal mia. Don't really have an opinion on it, but would think at least Calloway would want to be getting as many reps as he can.

Was supposedly down to the Browns and Rats for McCoy's services but he pulled a swerve yesterday and is now meeting with Carolina tomorrow. Browns are the best situation, if he wants to win, but $$$ talks.

I know it's only OTA's but I found it interesting that Kyle Kalis is running with the 1's at RG and Austin Corbett is the backup Center. Kudos to LCB's Offensive Line Performance group for improving Kalis. LeCharles has done wonders with that.

I know he's only a second year player but it looks like Dorsey shit down his leg on the Corbett pick. High 2nd rounder should be starting as a rookie, unless they're a QB.

If he doesn't go to the Browns, then Carolina is a nice consolation for us.

Agreed. Doesn't want to get syphilis in Crackmore.

Sounds like McCoy has eliminated Carolina which leaves it down to the Browns and Rats. He supposedly will make his decision this morning as he wants to be in camp with a team as they start up this week. Heard a lot of rumblings that he's choosing the Browns which means it's likely Baltimore.
