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!

UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen would prefer to play for the Giants over the Browns and would be hesitant to come out in next year's NFL draft if he knew that Cleveland was going to take him with the No. 1 overall pick, according to league sources familiar with the situation.

This is hardly the first time that a player has expressed concern about landing in Cleveland, though that will not dissuade new Browns general manager John Dorsey from taking the player he believes is the best fit for his franchise.

Privately, Rosen has expressed concern about winding up in Cleveland and would rather be with a more stable franchise, such as the Giants.

Rosen plans to sit down with his parents after the Cactus Bowl for a "serious conversation" before making a final decision about whether to turn pro. Whether Cleveland has the No. 1 overall pick could influence his decision, according to a source.

The Browns (0-14) can secure the top overall pick Sunday with a loss to the Chicago Bears or a victory by the Giants (2-12) over the Arizona Cardinals. New York would clinch no worse than the No. 2 pick with losses in each of its last two games.

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.

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.

I think Haslem pledged loyalty to hue in the same way Clark hunt pledged loyalty to herm, and Ballard promised he'd keep Pagano. Don't want the coaches to think they're being scapegoated. I'd be shocked if hue is with the browns by 2019 and if Pagano isn't shit canned this off-season.

There is talk in IN that the team is playing hard for Pagano and that he may stay on, but I guess the relationship between Ballard and him will probably tip the scales. Bringing in Nagy to be OC with HC job following after 1 year could make Nagy a better fit.

I heard the same thing about Haslem who clearly wanted Manziel while nobody on the previous staff did. Until Haslem gets out of his own way the Browns will be the Browns IMHO.

Nagy isn't leaving an oc job here to be an oc...

Sorry, I should have said dumb as ****.

So there you have it.

Dumb as ****.

Kill yourself

Ah. Come on, Dane is right.

It's not like those two players won four Super Bowls. They were inconsequential. And it's not like he is commenting on a thread that is speculating about additional players doing the same thing.

And he's right, adding a new rule is much too complex and will result in our taxes taking many more hours to complete...
