Dan2330 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 ESPN had a quick story on reporting that the Browns web site mentioned a deal was done with Pat's wide receiver Givins, but the story was not true. Apparently Givins was so ticked off about the story he decided to bypass Cleveland and visit other teams. Nice move Brownies! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 The Browns will attract someone to play for them if for no other reasons then, Romeo Crennel, and LOTS OF CASH !!! I still hate the Browns, but think they will have a MUCH better season next year. Oh yeah, I DO think Charlie Frye is going to have a larger impact this year and in years to come.WHODEY !!! Quote
turningpoint Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 yeah IMO charlie frye will be a decent qb, but never a probowler.just enough to fulfill those stupid f**king retarded ass fans to a 9-7 season year after year. Quote
bengalboomer7 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 I now live close to where Charlie played his high school ball(Williard, OH) and everyone here thinks he's stupid. I don't know anything about him, but his own hometown doesn't seem to promote him that much. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 He didn't do that bad last year when he got in there and this year he will have dumbass Winslow and Braylon Edwards back. That certainly can't hurt them. Their running game isn't that bad either with Droughns. If their defense lives up to potential, they could have a better than average season... Here's to hoping they won't !!!WHODEY !!! Quote
AMC Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 The Clowns will attract decent D help in FA because of Crennel....But why Romeo and not Marvin...difference in team-building philosophies I guess.... Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 The Clowns will attract decent D help in FA because of Crennel....But why Romeo and not Marvin...difference in team-building philosophies I guess....They know that Romeo will pay them and Marvin won't. Quote
jbx182 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 call it what it is!!! it's what FA's did to the bengals for so long; use them to get real teams to pony up the $$$! man, it totally looks different from the other side...you know, before marvin. not like the bengals are gonna sign anyone big anyway. other than our own offensive lineman, i hope!!! "sign the left side!" Quote
derekshank Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 This is probably the single biggest problem with the new collective bargaining agreement. There is now so much money out there for teams to use... and a pretty damn shallow FA pool to choose from. What does this mean? Free Agents will be able to demand much more than their market value, and probably get it. I would love Kemo... and he would certainly help our D-Line... but I will be very surprised if I see Mike Brown cough up that much money for a guy like that.With Brown's philosophy of never overpaying (which is not a bad philosophy) we are not likely to land anybody of real consequence. We were in great cap shape before... but this new deal put a lot of teams in great shape... and these other teams have not been shy about overspending in the past, so nothing will probably change now with a bigger cap.The Bengals will continue to be safe with their cap money... and we will probably be in even better shape next year. The only bright side I see is that with the new deal, we should have enough to extend Chad and our O-Line.... maybe we'll be able to land a guy next year when the market evens out. Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Mikey said they will spend this year, so expect them to spend at least some money. I think it is stupid to have enough room under the cap and not bring anyone in. You are just letting all of that free money sit there which is stupid. Quote
CPalmer9 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Browns just inked LeCharles Betley and Kevin Shaffer. With these two guys in the mix that browns O-Line is starting to look quite impressive. But still not good enough because the Bengals will roll on them twice in this upcoming season. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2364025 Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Bentley is getting $6 mill a year and about a $12.5 mill signing bonus.Nice year to be a center Quote
bengalsLB Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 hope this takes them out of the FA markett Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 They have about $30 mil to spend, so you know they aint done yet Quote

Kazkal Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Cleveland reached agreement with former Seattle wide receiver Joe Jurevicius on a four-year deal worth about $10 million. Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Hah...let them have him. Hes no Chad Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Hes not even a TJ...he is more like a Kevin Walter, and even that is pushing it Quote
Kazkal Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 why because he's white? /jokingReason I said he was like TJ is his style of play he isen't fast WR and neither is TJ really Quote
