So why not just sign a 1 yr deal until 2016? Also, if he did come home to break the bank he will b getting huge amouns of $ when his skills will b on the decline...not a great way to succeed as a team and strap ur team
........there's the Stopper I've come to know and expect! Back to the doom and gloom, gentleman. I thought we had a break-through moment and turned the corner in Stopper's rehab, but apparently we've had nothing more than a brief bump in the road and a total relapse. Maybe we should cut Stopper and his addiction just as he would have the Browns do to Gordon.
He basically IS signing one year deals until 2016...I just explained it to you. He signed a max 2 year deal, which is more than a max 1 year deal, but that deal had an opt out year. Which he WILL opt out and sign another one similar, but for more money in 2015...then when the TV deal factors in, he can sign a max 4 year deal in 2016 and make what he deserves. Now, for the second negative point... How many players in the NBA are at LeBron's level? How many are 90% of him? How many are 80% of him? How much money do these 80% players make? I will tell you, they make max contracts. LeBron on the decline brings in MUCH MORE MONEY to the Cleveland economy, and probably more importantly the Cavs organization than even TWO of those other players combined. His legacy will be made in the next 6 years, and then they will spend money surrounding him with talent to attempt to keep it going as long as he is effective, ala Dwayne Wade. THAT's the NBA...
no kidding!! Almost makes me want to go and take my + back on the thread I THOUGHT we had the breakthrough on...But since he thrives on -'s, I won't give him the satisfaction...
Hope Bluez comes back soon. The bathroom in this joint is getting pretty rank and disgusting.............. [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOtcnMepl1E[/video] I blame Crex!!!
Thanks for all the well wishes for my father . he isn't out of the woods yet and more than likely will never be . no one gets out alive . he had a helluva good run to live to 88 . maybe 89 if he makes his B Day which is August 1 . he is still in a nursing home and will be until he gets his legs back which they doubt he will . he is tough and still fighting . Thanks again all *DRINK* Lets play some football . he is a lifelong Browns fan . I dedicate this season to him

Glad you're back, Bluez. Been a little quiet around here without you. Ummmmm............It was like that when I got here. :rolleyes:
Welcome back bluez, our prayers are with your father and your family. Football is almost here and that my friend is a breath of fresh air. *BRAVO*
D Wade was late 20's when they came 2gether....LB will b 30 going on 32-33 w all his mins....if the Cavs dont win it these next 2 yrs their done and LB will b just hanging around to get the max $ and keep his family in the area.
The Browns line for 2014 could be very similar to that of 2013, a unit with considerable individual talent, yet lacking in cohesiveness. Then again, the line could be much different, with potential new blood inserted into both OG spots. That will all depend upon how each one fits into the new zone blocking scheme. The first battle to watch will involve second round draft selection Joel Bitonio, an OT from Nevada that will move inside to the LG spot for the Browns. Bitonio will compete with current LG John Greco, who inked a contract extension with the Browns a year ago. Heading into training camp, Bitonio has an edge for the starting LG spot due to the fact he was specifically selected by the Browns due to being a fit in the zone scheme. Bitinio possesses a nasty demeanor on the field, and is technically sound. The rookie offensive lineman is quick and athletic for a man his size, while possessing very good lateral movement. Greco, though an excellent technician and good teammate is at a disadvantage due to his lack of lateral movement. Bitonio, assuming he stays healthy, should win the starting spot in this position battle at LG, fending off a determined but undermanned effort from Greco. As you may recall, Bitonio was the guy I really projected as a perfect fit with tremendous upside for the Browns at the time of the draft. I believe the Browns, like Yoenis Cespedes, hit a home run with this kid! Projected LG Starter = Joel Bitonio LG Depth = John Greco, Paul McQuistan Another offensive line battle will take place at RG. Greco will be in competition with Paul McQuistan, a seven year veteran from the Seattle Seahawks and Garrett Gilkey, a Browns draft selection in the 2013 draft. This position battle could be one of, if not the most interesting battles in the Browns camp setting. Both Greco and McQuistan bring experience, fundamental technique, and the versatility to play along the line. Both veterans are capable of stepping into the starting line-up. In Gilkey, you get a young, hungry player which possesses a nasty streak and much better than anticipated agility, new offensive line coach Andy Moeller will LOVE these qualities!! Moeller comes from Baltimore, where the culture had been that you fire off the ball with a purpose and don?t stop until after a whistle, or your *** is on the bench. Gilkey?s mean streak, ability to move laterally, surprising quickness, and technical ability make him a player that could surprise all. He?s like a lion on the back of an elephant who will no doubt find the pulse and attack your jugular. This positional battle could go down to the wire. We may just see one of the candidates grasp the role early and run away with the starting nod. This battle will definitely be one worth watching, but I believe the combination of Gilkey and Bitonio inserted into the starting line-up is one that will bring a new demeanor to the Browns offensive line. Projected RG Starter = Garrett Gilkey RG Depth = John Greco, Paul McQuistan LT - Joe Thomas LG - Joel Bitonio C - Alex Mack RG - Garrett Gilkey RT - Mitchell Schwartz
