You assume the worst if you construed that as me wanting him. Quite the opposite was intended. OBJ is the absolute opposite of players I respect and want to go out as Browns. Took this the wrong way, Pit, because I never suggested it. If this is some type of lecture, you misconstrued it. Just the opposite of all the classy Browns players I have known growing up. Sorry it was your impression to the contrary. No I didn't think that at all. I just have no idea how it ever entered your mind he would sign a one day contract and retire as a Brown when he didn't do jack squat here and all of his major success was with the Giants. I can safely tell you that's never going to happen. He's not, bro. It was just an off the cuff comment based on current events. One former Brownie retired, was beloved by fans, comes home to a hero's welcome and a one-day contract. The other was here as a pit-stop, raised a ruckus, accomplished nothing while complaining the whole time, and seems like he may be at the end of the road as well. He's just saying "you can bet this one won't come home to a parade". It wasn't meant to be interpreted literally.

I have been asked by friends and people that know me, why do you still root for the Browns since you despise watson so much? My answer is the same then as it is now. Because there are 52 other players and a coaching staff on the team. I'm not going to turn my back on all of them just because this owner that obviously has no moral scruples signed that scum bag.

I'd like to think the playoff atmosphere would help since the first two are at home, but the Guards actually played better on the road this year.
Yeah, avoiding the WC series id huge. Especially being a best of three. You can play great all year... one bad pitching outing and a couple timely hits on the other side, and it's over before it began.

When you play a team in your division.
You know each other well. Guardians have the advantage of being the home team.
It should help them.
It is a major advantage when you do not have to play in the WC series.

Why the Dems?
Ballpeen
10/01/26 01:51 PM
There is a lot of resistance to the Republicans and it is discussed in dozens of threads. I'd rather hear from those so opposed to the Republicans or President to tell me why the Dems/Socialists are so attractive? What policies do you see as being of great benefit to America? I hear a lot of complaining and general comments about affordability etc, but I must be missing the policies they propose to fix things.

Plus if he plays like this his comp pick could
Ensure that we get more front seven support we won't get a comp pick because we kicked the can down the road +1 year I'm pretty sure that players with void years built in for signing bonuses are still eligible for comp picks. It goes by the salaried contract years. When they run out, they become free agents, when they become free agents, they are eligible for comp picks. FYI: DW will be a post June 1 cut...he will not be a free agent. He has a 'dummy' year added to his contract that allows them to kick the...err...spread out his cap hit into '27 & '28. You're right, his void date isn't until February 2029, so they can utilize the post June 1 designation. They won't value, even a 3rd round comp, high enough to not use the designation.

As soon as he has a bad game everyone will be on him again. It's probably just a matter of time and could happen tonight. I hope he continues to play well because I want the team to do well.

Good for them in getting a 2nd rounder. I don't mind him being out of the division. I take that back... they drafted him at the end of the second round and will likely get a late-2nd back for him. Seems weird (to me) to lose a productive, young'ish corner. Are the Steelers also trying to position themselves with picks to maneuver around for a 2027 QB ?

Three weeks ago DW was 32 out of 32 QBs on NFL ranking list-- he's 24 of 32 today.......Mayfield, he of 55 million dollar contract- he be 29th AND he's out for three weeks due to thumb injury.......Blanton Collier, Browns, coach in 60s.......on any given Sunday, anyone can win. The QB ratings sure flux during the season......hope DW balls out because I'm a Browns fan.......Go Browns!!!! DW needs forgiveness for past actions.....most of us are perfect. Right. It's amazing how a couple of wins brings out the champions of forgiveness. I'm a Browns fan and I want to see wins, but I am still ready for that guy to be gone from Cleveland forever. I don't need to forgive anything.. He's 2 weeks into a high for Browns wins, love the fact we finally won a season opener. He's over 4 years into a lull of empathy and downright embarrassment and lack of respect for the person. GO BROWNS!

Sorry it was your impression to the contrary. Don't worry. I don't think many would misunderstand your point. I do agree with Pit in that once he left the team, he left my memory bank. No sense worrying about him or his Dad. I wish him and his dad the best in whatever comes next in their life.
