Rosen is considering pulling an Eli if the Browns want him
If Darnold pulls the same thing the #1 pick could be up for grabs...
Josh Rosen prefers Giants over Browns, would hesitate to enter draft if Cleveland commits to him
Spoiler!
Dorsey is in a tough spot. I don't think Smith would be an option for him because I doubt Dorsey or KC would want to do a deal with each other, and Smith probably won't want to go to Cleveland either. His only option could be giving Cousins $100M guaranteed or something. Last edited by Quesadilla Joe; 12-24-2017 at 11:35 AM.. |

in a bidding war even though Jacksonville was by far the biggest bidder. And that's Jacksonville. Cleveland literally has a reputation that it's a place to go where careers die. I agree Hue is a disaster. The rumor is that Cincy wants to trade for Hue and I'm guessing Dorsey would trade him for a pack of gum if there was a willing taker. That rumor sounds extremely credible because it's exactly the type of move Cincy would make. I doubt Hue makes it past his contract and it wouldn't shock me if the promise to keep him was an empty one. Remember that Clark Hunt pledged his loyalty to Herm after Pioli was hired, and Herm was quickly fired. |

This is why the Browns could use a guy like Alex Smith, even though I don't expect him to go there. They have no respectability or stability within the organization, and they likely aren't going to get it from any of these rookies.

If they fire Hue, it will be an ideal situation for him. Good offensive line. They'll probably install a WCO he's comfortable with and maybe even a coach he knows extremely well already. He can retire in a year or 2 while collecting a ton of frontloaded cash. And he'll retire a hero if he so much as wins 8 games.

He inherited a mess and is about to post a historically awful season for the second consecutive season. He needs time, but how can you say the team has improved since he's taken over? Even if you(general you, not a specific you) like Hue, how the hell can you sell 1-31 to a fan base? That's what it was like dealing with firing Spags from my view with the Rams. And I liked Spags and actually wanted him to come back for a 4th season. |

They may have a bright future, but I don't see it happening quick enough for Smith to be interested. If I was Smith, I would seriously rather go hold a clipboard for a Superbowl contender and wait for a broken collarbone/torn ACL then go to a crappy team that will might be turning it around about the time you are going to retire for good. |

Their offense has a lot more talent than what Alex Smith walked into in KC. Their offensive line with Joe Thomas is legitimately good. Corey Coleman, Gordon (probably will return), Njoku as TE are good receiving options. Duke Johnson/Crowell are solid RBs and they could easily draft Saquon Barkley. If the Browns get rid of Hue, they could offer him a shitload of money, a good offensive supporting cast that gives good pass protection, and an offense and potentially coaching staff he's comfortable with. Dorsey could easily build the team like he did in KC. Remember he brought in a ton of 1-2 year rentals to make Alex Smith comfortable. With that kind of cap space, they can plug in any gaps super quick. |

I don’t believe he is Dorsey’s first choice anyway. I believe Mayfield is

Thought about it for a little bit, but I think what the browns are doing is more amazing and harder to do than what KU football is doing. In the nfl if you're shit you get first pick of the litter in the draft, not to mention having free agency. Yet year after year they continue to be shit.
1-31 is absolutely deplorable. Hire me as head coach i got a 50/50 chance of going 1-31. Last edited by Trent Green GOAT; 12-25-2017 at 08:08 AM.. |

I listen to all of you say to have Cleveland take Alex for 2 years while they develop the rookie but you don't have the same felling with Alex11 and PMll here in KC. That makes you "Whiney Little Bitches".

And the reason I think Cleveland is Alex's best landing spot is because Cleveland is building something. They need stability. Kc already has it built. As I've said before, Alex is a great fit for a building team not one contending for a super bowl. I hope I'm wrong this season on that. We will see. It's not nearly the same thing. |

Agreed. Jackson is not a head coach. He is peter principled out at the coordinator position and btw so is Vance Joseph of the Donkos. Poor Vance is just soooooo "deer in the headlights" on the sideline with the same post game press conference mantra of "well it was working in practice this week and early on in the game but we just didn't get it done" for the tenth week in a row. Both these guys are way in over their head BUT the owner of the Browns(Haslin) and Elway have their "yes men" in place so it will be interesting to see how long they stay on.

Barkely is going #1 anyways. Rosen will be fine.
