This is interesting because of Monkens past with Ty Simpson. https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/arti...r_for_cleveland_browns/s1_16697_43518958

As usual the 20 percent on the far left, and the 20 percent on the far right keep screaming and crying and screwing everything up for the 60 percent of us in the middle. Now who is to blame? The 20 percent on the far left? The 20 percent on the far right, or the 60 percent in the middle?

MAGA lawmaker wants a federal investigation into ‘explicit and indecent’ Bad Bunny halftime show

Can't make this snowflakery up. Or is it Wokeness? Or maybe it's just pure and simple political BS and faux outrage in order to try and create a nuisance to the NFL who clearly upset the poor wittle fanboys.

Your opinion - supported by right leaning think tanks. And I did not say that Biden didn't increase inflation or impact the economy. I said the impact was less than the worldwide pandemic ... you know, simply sticking to the facts.

To stick to this point - we actually don't know what is being threatened and how this is working. If the threat is to cancel the contract at the end of the current agreed upon deal - then really there is no harm, no foul. If the threat is to cancel the contract mid-term - that would be a breach and no doubt subject to legal repercussions. But even then - we don't know all the clauses and terms of the contract. Assuming that it is automatically one or the other without detailed knowledge would be wrong.

My perspective - seeing how Trump illegally removed a sitting foreign leader. How he has illegally or highly questionably manipulated fake claims about various "crisis" to justify things like Tariffs and fatal boat strikes on alleged drug runners, including a second strike to kill a person already prevented from running drugs .... I'd say the idea we should simply accept anything and everything this administration says and does and wants to do without checks, balances and oversight is really really stoopid.

Browns set sights on QBs Malik Willis, Ty Simpson ahead of 2026 season

https://brownswire.usatoday.com/sto...k-willis-ty-simpson-targets/88834467007/

WR feels like one of the positions that takes time to fully adjust to from college. Travis Hunter sucked until he got injured. McMillan was decent but sporadic in production, Egbuka started off strong but faded away like a fart in the wind, Golden didn't do [censored], Higgins was meh, Burden came on at the end of the season. My problem is, out of all of those guys listed, they all looked better than Harrison's rookie year, at least to me. Minus Golden, maybe. That's my concern.... he's in year three and doesn't have much of a resume compared to the ones that came after. I won't even get into the WRs that were drafted after him in 2024.


2nd round is too much for my blood. A 4th with incentives that make it higher based on production in the following year's draft.

How about an even up#12 for #12 trade

I'd have a hard time arguing with that. The facts are the facts.

I think we became pretty spoiled over the last few years and have forgotten that everyone is not a Ja'Marr Chase or Justin Jefferson. Harrison is measured as generational talent because that's what he was drafted as. We tend to forget that most WRs breakout in year three.

He has all the tools. If I could grab him with a 2nd round pick I would see that as less risk, and actual higher certainty, than most players available in the draft. Especially when you consider those "sure things" require a 1st round pick, and in most cases, actually have a lower ceiling if outside the top ten.

We're not Black or stupid, so I have no idea what that means.

If the report is true, I'm guessing Berry is trying to gauge the market to buy low on Harrison, like he did with Cooper and Juedy. Here is my issue with Harrison- I grant him the fact he had Kyler Murray at QB early on in his career, but I really didn't see much of a change once Brissett started playing, unlike Trey McBride. I haven't looked at the full comparison and I know there were some games Harrison was out that made McBride look better but, hell, Michael Wilson was the leading WR in yards, TDs, yards per game, YAC, and overall targets.

There were reports going into 2025 that Harrison deliberately put on a little extra weight (to be better at ball contesting and leverage) and that might have made him slower....I don't know. He has been VERY disappointing so far.

read the articles I posted by 3rd parties who said it over stimulating the economy would do exactly what it did and the aftermath of it in 2025 and now.

it's not hard.

Browns owner Jimmy Haslam admitted in March 2025 that trading for Deshaun Watson was a "big swing and a miss," calling it a failed move.

I'm not sure but it sounds as if you're saying Haslam made the DW comments. The best I can figure out is he must be practicing for a future career in politics. You never know which story is going to fly out of his mouth from day to day.

I'm sorry he offended your family that way.

After listening to Monken and Berry from the Combine.

I didn't feel very good.

It sounds like trouble. No real money to spend in free agency. No starting quarterback identified.

An offensive line that cannot really be remade in one year because they lack players who should have been developing internally.

You really cannot rebuild an OL with free agents. It doesn't work that way.

They actually talked about DW like he is an option. "He was elite at one time; you want to feel like you can get that out of him."

What? I am sorry. What? "He is working hard and has no physical limitations." Really? And that means what?

Another year with no expectations. Five years pissed away and all I heard is "were excited" about having a competition at quarterback.

"I'm just like you!"

Can't make it up.

Yes please on Harrison. He has played waaay below his potential.

41 for 608 while only playing 9 games with more than three targets in '25.

Cards were 23rd passing. Harrison with 5 catches in tight windows, ranking 5th in the NFL in those high-leverage situations.


He needs a change of scenery. 6'3" / 220 with world-class speed... sign me up.

Here is what you responded to and how you responded to it. Now you claim that was never a part of our discussion.

The original article posted on which this thread is based discusses the entire conditions and circumstances surrounding this "contract cancellation" is based was part of the very nature of the thread from the very beginning. Anyone with a brain fully understands that. I understand why you wish to now act like it wasn't in some hopes you're fooling someone because that part of the topic does not suit your narrative.

Thanks for playing. As a consolation prize I will send you a home version of the game.

Delpit is on the last year of his contract and many expect the Browns to replace him with a younger guy before he moves on. I don't know why, I actually like Delpit. I would rather re-sign the guy I know...

I was a huge fan of Olave... Depends on the price.

Wow, wonder what those price tags look like?

Berry is a big fan of trading for WRs instead of drafting them. It isn't a terrible idea depending on the what is costs.

What I am seeing, expectations are a 2nd round pick for Harrison, would jump on that today...
Olave is also borderline 2nd/late first compensation, but more complicated since he is on the last year of his contract. So anyone that would trade for him would need the contract extension in place prior to the trade.

Both would be upgrades capable of holding the #1 receiver moniker that Jeudy could/can not.

Both are wasting away on bad teams... so why not come over to Cleveland to waste away on our team?

Cavaliers' Harden questionable with fracture in right thumb

Doesn't Delpit already play pretty close to the LoS? I would think we'd want a guy that was more comfortable playing further back, no?
