Because they failed to entertain you?

I think they still could. They most likely want to wait a few days and see what the market is then. Every day they wait the money goes down.

His neck is shorter than Mike Glennon's

What I am trying to say is they wouldnt have had 90 million dollars if they didnt have players on rookie contracts. They weren't thrifty or magical today, they spent 29 million dollars on three guys. Just agree to disagree. When the Browns go to resign Garrett, Mayfield, Chubb, Hunt, Beckham or whoever else in two to three years they wont have the same amount of money because they are spending. In the case of Hooper the money they spent was idiotic.

Because outside of maybe four guys they have a ton of players on rookie contracts and Vernon is already as good as gone. They aren't structuring contracts, they are creating "space" today they are taking advantage of having a lot of rookie contracts. And for the players like Vernon and OBJ, they acquired their contracts they didnt "structure them." Forget it man, youre the expert. You're right the Cap really isnt a thing.

On a roster that is not nearly as deep as everyone thinks. They didn't STRUCTURE those rookie contracts in some sort of magic, they paid the rookies what they were slotted in at. They have money because they havent had to resign their own players yet. When its time to do that, they can structure those contracts anyway they want, they wont be able to keep everyone.

I feel the same way about Clowney. But with the Bills letting Shaq move on, and having the money they do, I am starting to get a weird feeling they may be in on him after all.

Its not just how they structured contractss. They have space because outside of Tretter, Richardson, Vernon, Landry and Beckham they have a ton of players on their rookie contracts. The Browns have a ton of space because when Sashi Brown was running the team they got rid of bloated contracts and stocked up on draft picks. By the time they have to pay Myles Garrett and Baker Mayfield, buys like Vernon and Beckham will be gone. The Cap is still the Cap, you cant pay everyone at once. But if you are smart enough to have some stars on rookie deals, and others on deals that expire or are through guaranteed money before those rookie deals are up they can coexist. It helps that the Browns have continually picked in the top ten for years.

Is there anyone Miami isnt going to sign?

With them not signing Shaq, I think you're right. I think they'll be in on Clowney.

R-E-L-A-X my goodness.

Just because its not being reported doesnt mean it isnt happening. Deals can be final until Wednesday anyways.

Waiting for the West Coast teams to finish lunch so they can get moving again.

I would love this signing. Probably in the range of what Tevin Coleman got last year, maybe just a touch less. Fair value is probably in the 4 million dollar per year range. 2yr/8million would be a good contract for Howard. Drake is going to be one of the top paid running backs in the league before its said and done.

It was also accurate. Now they seem intent on letting Shaq hit free agency they will have money to play with. Lets see what they do with it.

Better do it quick. Only have until Wednesday.

Clowney is the Sammy Watkins of defensive ends. Never plays a full season, gets paid a ton of money for average production, yet many people will tell you he is great because he incredibly gifted and has a great game from time to time. Rather have 16 good games a season than 2 great ones. Just my opinion.

No sir. Since leaving BB he has had the 23rd and 31st ranked defenses. Not entirely sure Frazier gets another shot at HC in the league.

Because they are getting cap ready for the rebuild with a real coach and GM in 2021.

I'd sign up for Shaq and Robert Quinn all day long.

I completely agree on Ngakoue. I also believe Clowney is athletically superior to both of them, I just wonder about how much effort he is putting in. A guy with his tools should be taking over games, and thats never been the case with him.

Thats your opinion. I think wanting to pay a player who has played one full season in six years 20 million dollars a year is foolish.

Shaq Lawson- 6.5 Sacks as a backup is an average NFL Defensive End Yannick Ngakoue- 8 Sacks as a full time starter is a star lets pay him 20 million a year Jadeveon Clowney- 3 Sacks as a starter is a star lets payhim 20 million a year I love NFL Free Agency.

Amazing deal if true. A 20 million dollar home town discount. Can confirm Beane is a witch if true. Are we able to assume Beane made the corona virus in his cauldron to scare free agents into lesser contracts?

Thought he was good most of the season and was a big reason we lost the playoff game. Dont like what it says about Ford at Right Tackle long term but it is a hell of a deal.
