Browns had something like a 44 passer rating when targeting him last year and two teams let him go. I didn't have any expectations when they signed him but he was worth a dart throw at only $2.5m.
You guys can make all these jokes about this signing you want but when Cooks makes a key catch near the end of the Wild Card playoff game to avoid a 52-0 shutout it won't be so funny.
My hope is the reporting on that potential trade was inaccurate. I get you'd hate to lose a 1st and a 3rd in the same draft with those players on rookie contracts but you're likely drafting a WR with one of those picks anyways. It's highly unlikely you draft one as good as Waddle and that player may take a year or two to develop anyways. It's very frustrating as a fan seeing this year and probably next year of Allen's prime being wasted because they neglected that position for so long.
I'm not. Please tell me how where we're going to find a WR1 in the off-season. We all know Beane and McDermott are staying. Based off their history, it's highly unlikely they draft one. Pickens pry stays in Dallas.
