I think a cleaner method would be one restructure, depending who it is. With that, you could keep all those guys and still sign a Hodges level player.

Just because you CAN spend $8 million on a backup guard and a punter doesn't mean you should.

Even if a restructure keeps those guys on the roster, they shouldn't be here at those figures either way. That's too much money for too little production.

I don't think you're wrong about that, but it's nice to have those slots filled so when draft day comes, KC is drafting BPA round after round. It would kinda suck to go into the draft thinking 'we HAVE to find a swing tackle.'

Preferably, you have Reid on the roster and if at some point your BPA is a swing tackle, then you cut him IMO.

Eric fishers hold is what hurt us the most and Colquitt is one of the best punters in the league at dropping it inside the 20. He was directly responsible for not taking the snap to Albert wilson that went for a TD too. Think about that !

And the number of times he's dropped it inside the 20 is reflected by improved net punting average that doesn't have to include those touchbacks.

And yet he's still just okay.

It's like saying that Alex Smith is really good at avoiding turnovers - sure, and that's part of his game. It's not good enough to justify keeping him around.

Dustin Colquitt does that one thing well - but he's below average at directional and distance punting. He's just a fine punter; he damn sure ain't worth $5 million.

That's what I wanted to do in order to get Hightower. Cut Colquitt, Reid, Sherman and free up cap. I haven't heard a peep about Hightower so who knows.

Hey mother****er , that ain't happenen. It's all dumb thinking and why Dorsey and reid run this show instead of DJ's left nut and some mother****er !

You still think Johnny Manziel is good at football.

As such, your opinions cannot be trusted.

You can't prove he isn't . Drafted by the Browns who failed their last 21 QB's.

:harumph:

His failure has less to do with the Browns and more to do with his rampant alcoholism and general douchebaggery.

Growin' Up

I stood stonelike at midnight suspended in my masquerade
I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade
I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch
I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and came out with my soul untouched
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said `Sit down' I stood up
Ooh-ooh growin' up

The flag of piracy flew from my mast my sails were set wing to wing
I had a jukebox graduate for first mate she couldn't sail but she sure could sing
I pushed B-52 and bombed `em with the blues with my gear set stubborn on standing
I broke all the rules strafed my old high school never once gave thought to landing
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said `Come down' I threw up
Ooh-ooh growin' up

I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere and you know it's really hard to hold your breath
I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared I was the cosmic kid
Well my feet they finally took root in the earth but I got me a nice little place in the stars
I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said `Sit down' I stood up
Ooh-ooh growin' up

Well , the way I see it he did just fine at T A&M , no issues . Then the Browns draftd him and said they were going to change his style of play and he said **** this shit. His spirit was completely taken away. Teams with good ownership /management keep their players under some type of control. You have to realize there's some common denominator to the number of failed QBs going through Cleveland. Brady Quinn was even talking about it this week as to how so many players are failed by the teams and environment the get put in and careers get absolutely ruined.

Barkevious Mingo //PRINT 'EM!

Yeah, no. He was arrested for his drunken behavior before he even started playing for the Aggies. This type of shit didn't start in Cleveland. He was a damn fine college QB but that doesn't mean shit if he's not there mentally.
