Don't know much about him. He's spent two years being healthy after a rookie injury. Was a starter last season for the full 17 games. Looks like maybe he's hitting his stride as a middle-of-the-road tackle football player. Can't complain about a marginal starter or solid depth at that price.

Maybe it's just me ...... but I just can't see the Browns bringing in a 310# guy and telling him to lose 60# to play LB. :crazy"

This signing is going to help with the inside gap big time

Do you remember seeing Joe The 10 time Pro bowler during off season compared to Joe the 10 time Pro bowler during regular season

Joel Bitonio even was way less off season than during season

Players can gain and lose weight to play a position most of the time as needed.

Isn't he like 310#?

From what I’ve read, he hasn’t played linebacker since he entered the NFL, used mostly as a rotational player in the interior.

Might be considered a solid signing.

I really like this guy.

I wonder if the Browns intend to move him back to the LB position ?

The D -line really doesn't need much help..

Fill in for JOK

But you wish I was

I dove in a little deeper a few days ago. I won't bore you with the whole conversation, but this part is pertinent, AI gave me an answer with some vague terms, so I asked for a little depth...

explain: "minor predefined offsets over five years as per the policy structure"

"Minor predefined offsets over five years as per the policy structure" refers to how some NFL player injury insurance policies spread a small portion of the cap relief across multiple future years, rather than applying the entire amount in one lump sum.
​
Policy Design
These policies often include a clause where, after the primary credit hits the next league year's cap (e.g., 2026 for Watson's 2025 miss), the insurer amortizes a remaining balance—typically around $5 million annually—over five years to match the contract's guaranteed money structure and avoid overwhelming a single year's cap.

It also explained that these terms must be in the original policy. Teams cannot arbitrarily decide how to spread the payment after the fact.

5 years x5 million =25 million
Then...
25+17 (the reported lump sum) =42 million

I mean, I guess this may be a strong possibility?

He was .. did he just lose a step. Hasn't been the same lately

What's proven is trumps son is a coke head.

YOU are the one that raised the whole issue over some brain-dead assumption:


I would be surprised if you could cross a street without a crossing guard.

He was released under Biden, [censored].

Mohamed Bailor Jalloh was released early from federal prison due to completing a drug treatment program.
​He had been sentenced to 11 years in 2017 for attempting to provide material support to ISIS but was let out on December 23, 2024, after serving about 7-8 years.
​This program typically allows up to a year off sentences, though it's unusual for terrorism convicts, and details on his qualification remain unclear.

I enjoyed watching Njoku.. He was Fun... He was never going to make you forget Ozzie. But he was fun to watch and was productive most of the time. We're still going to need another TE.

That's their job to report.. Geez, Trump really wants to control the media.

That was about Hunter Biden... You are aware of the difference.. And is ANY OF IT PROVEN

First of all, there is no need to start over. This thread isn't really worth enough to do that.

Considering you can't accept that it's about Dems, what would be the point.

I think you need to get something defined for yourself... Communist!

I recently heard the Elgton Jenkins in his rookie yeare took over for an injured Bikatiari and played LT making the all rookie team.

So did he serve his term as sentenced or did Biden commute his sentence or did Biden's adminstration somehow introduce guidelines for releasing prisoners early? I honestly don't know the answers here. Most prisoners get out early. . . . That alone doesn't make Biden culpable. Was there something else?

You don't take a QB just to take one, but if there is a guy you like no matter what round you should draft one. We don't know who will be available next year and which QBs will improve next year, going into this year this was considered to be a really good QB draft but guys like Allar, Klubnik, and Nussmeier didn't develop as hoped and guys like Manning, Moore, and Sellers decided to return to school.

Huge deductible?

I'm not sure but I would highly doubt that insurance would cover an entire players salary. You know how it works. The devil is in the details.

I agree.

It really boils down to their grade on Simpson and their feelings about Shedeur.

I don't know what they think of either player.

Next year is always a gamble because you don't know if you can get another first round pick in a trade down.

You don't know where you will draft and if the guy you covet will be there.

If the Browns were to draft Simpson at 24. We will know how they evaluated him.
