Days before the draft...... how stupid can you be. 2017 Draft Prospect Caleb Brantley was arrested for punching a woman. So now he's guaranteed to go undrafted and be treated like Rice and Greg Hardy. NFL career done before it begins.

I like next year's QB class better and would wait on Darnold or Josh Rosen. Though Darnold may take the Luck route and stay for his degree and wait for 2019. Though I guess it would be a Browns thing to do and take quarterbacks in bad years opposed to taking them in the years quarterbacks are actually good.
That moment when your agent has to keep your draft stock up after injury reports..... From John Ross' agent:
QuoteWith speculation swirling about John Ross' injury history, his agent Brad Cicala released this statement: "Despite recent reports, John Ross III has never sustained 2 ACL injury’s nor has he had 2 ACL surgeries. In January of 2015 he endured surgery on his right lateral meniscus and in April of 2015 he had surgery on his left ACL. Upon his return, Ross recorded 1150 yards and 16 touchdowns, and was also named the AP’s Pac-12 player of The Year. During the 2016 Stanford game (Game 5), John injured his right labrum but was able to finish the season strong. He went on to compete at the NFL Combine where he broke the 40-yard dash record by running a 4.22. Immediately after the combine, John underwent surgery on his right labrum and has been rehabbing ever since. A recent report from his doctor, Dr. Albert Gee, Division Chief from the Department of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine from the University of Washington, states that John’s recovery is ahead of schedule and he will be fully healthy by the start of NFL camp. I have confirmed with numerous NFL teams that John’s recent medical rechecks have come back positive."
This is sure to make things interesting if this is true. La Canfora reports that the Browns coaches want Garrett, but owner Jimmy Haslam is pushing for the first pick to be a QB. He says Haslam "badly" wants a QB and the last time Haslam pushed a QB draft decision, in 2014. When the Browns moved up to infamous pick 22 and drafted Johnny "Party" Manziel.
So.... what all games is everyone planning to go to? Got my stuff together for my trip to Nashville for the Titans game but debating which home game I want to go to this year.
We waited 12 years between 2000 and 2012 before we won our second, so 5 isn't that bad but it is recent. As someone else mentioned, try being fans of other teams who haven't won a Super Bowl, let alone being a Browns fan.
Falcons looking to move up and take a pass rusher. If they jump ahead of us and take who we would have took..... Then good for them on blowing the Super Bowl.

Christmas Eve is a Sunday and Christmas is a Monday this year, so possible for this year.
Steelers get 2 Christmas Day games in a row. They play the Texans Dec 25th at 4:30p.m, with the night contest being a SNF game being between the Raiders and Eagles. So on the bright side, with the Eagles playing on Christmas that means we get to see Eagles fans throw snow balls at Santa Claus again. Though at least we are one of only 2 games being played on the 23rd. Colts/Ravens kicks off at 4:30 with the Packers hosting the Vikings at 8:30p.m.

I'm just wondering if by week 5 Carr will be back in rhythm and be the gun slinger that he is or if we'll face him early enough that he hasn't got into that rhythm yet. At the least, the city of Oakland will be too mad at the team to probably show up so it might not be a true home field advantage.
6 minutes ago, mc_red23 said:They our request to not have our bye week immediately following the London game, I can't imagine them wanting to do us any more favours.
Gave us a bye just before traveling to Green Bay so we'll have 2 weeks to prepare for Rodgers' hail mary but somehow still fail at protecting it like every other team.
1 minute ago, mc_red23 said:They get so creative with these schedules don't they.
I know right..... Is there some rule in the league office that states we have to play the Bengals in week 17? At leeast this time they let it be in Baltimore.... but man facing the Steelers coming off that long road trip to London followed by going to Oakland, then back home for Chicago. Could have at least switched Raiders and Bears so we had 2 straight home games coming off London.
Home MNF Game? Put your bets down now, we are winning the Super Bowl. Just saying, last time we had a home MNF we went on to win the Super Bowl. So I fully expect a 9-2 start, then a meltdown to barely win the division then January Joe takes us to Minnesota. *End Sarcasm*
Cleveland in week 2 again but hey this just means they get to go up 25 points on us at home then we come back and win.
I figured to post a draft rumors thread since we are one week away from the draft. Post any rumors here, and I'll start with one involving a Browns-Jets trade. There is a report that the Browns will draft Garrett number one and strike a deal with the Jets at 6 in order to grab Trubisky.

8 minutes ago, Edgar said:Ok. Now I don't feel quite so silly admitting this.
A month ago I dreamed we drafted Jonathan Allen.
Possible, if some teams think his shoulders will be too much of an issue they will pass on him and he could fall to us.
Though I would want us to take Sidney Jones in the second in the same way the Jags took Myles Jack. We have Carr for at least one year so we can red shirt him then see where he is at in 2018.
6 minutes ago, SepticeyePoe said:I think it would be unlikely that we actually move up that far, but it wouldn't hurt to see how much those teams would be asking for in order to move up.
Apparently the rumor mill is the 49ers and Bears are "antsy" to trade down(IE trying to drum up trade interest) so it wouldn't be far fetched to give it a shot. According to the draft value chart, we wouldn't have to give up too much. We have to give up 2 first round picks in order to do so. 2nd Overall pick is worth 2600 points, our 16th pick is only 1000. Doing the math, our 1st and second this year equates to 1430 points total, leaving us with 1,170 points to make up which we can do that by sending our 2018 first round pick to them. It would be pricey giving away our first next year but Garrett would be worth it to secure our future after Suggs.
Considering we wanted to trade up for Mack back in 2014, what scenario or how far do you think Garrett when Cleveland passes on him for Trubisky is going to fall and if so, should we call the 49ers to move up from 16 to 2, or if the 49ers grab someone else(Fournette) do we call the Bears to move up to 3? Given we were willing to try to get Mack, I like to think we have the same will to do the same for Garrett when Cleveland passes on him. Thoughts?

Might apply here lol.
Might be us, Philly or Indianapolis. Maybe Washington as well.
On 4/16/2017 at 10:40 AM, Davesta said:Corey Davis scheduled to visit the ravens for 2 days, starting Tuesday. He's visiting the titans first. Man I hope the titans don't move up right before our pick and steal him. I'll be heartbroken
Thinking Corey Davis will be the pick unless he's gone then we trade down. Are 2 day visits rare?
Patriots RFA CB Malcolm Butler has signed his tender, meaning he can now be traded which that is still an option on the table.
29 minutes ago, Drew P said:DeShaun is the first QB drafted
I think he ends up going to Washington which is another bold prediction for myself. Followed by Kirk Cousins being traded to Houston for their first round pick giving the Redskins 2 first round picks in the draft. One to secure Watson as Cousins' replacement and the other on defense or OL.
Andre Johnson will retire a Houston Texan as he will sign a one day contract with the team on Wednesday.

The Carolina Panthers have come to an agreement with Franchised DT Kawann Short on a 5 year $80M deal. He gets $40M in the first two years so the Panthers have avoided the July deadline by a couple months.

Also I really do have one request for the NFL......... Give us a Home Monday Night Football Game! Haven't had one since...... 2012. I also think following the drama of the Christmas game with Pittsburgh, I think Ravens/Steelers will be the 3rd Thanksgiving game this season but since the last one was in Baltimore I think we go to Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving night.
2 minutes ago, ThatsMyJoeTerback said:What is the earliest the Ravens had a bye?
Think it was when they had the hurricane hit Houston and they rescheduled our game against Houston giving us a BYE in week 2 of whatever season that was. The BYEs usually start in week 4 but basically we are asking not to have that bye so essentially, we are hoping for a later bye this season.
So this is interesting news about our schedule. The Ravens made a special request of...... not having a bye following the London Game against the Jaguars.

Add me on the Cam Robinson hate if he becomes our pick. If we take a OL, take Lamp and get our franchise center for the next 10-15 year's. Whether we take Lamp at 16 or trade down and still land him, regardless I hope it's Lamp.
With The Sun saying we want to build a line similar to Dallas, I do think OL will be the pick Thursday night. Just hope someone takes him before us or a team like the Broncos, or Giants jump us to ensure Robinson is not there at 16.
