2012 Browns thread

always thought football GM was a career that would be denied to me but now i'm gonna move to cleveland and get an administrative position with the browns and who knows?

The idea is for all to work together and reach decisions like drafting Justin Gilbert over Odell Beckham Jr, Derek Carr, and Aaron Donald

I'm so mad right now.

Manziel is just going down in flames. He's not exactly to Marinovich or Leaf's depth, but Johnny Football seems to be on his way to that place.

I'm experiencing schadenfreude about this

Maybe he has affluenza like that other asshole kid from Texas.

Johnny Manziel's time with the Cleveland Browns will come to an end in March, according to a league source.

The Browns released a statement from new director of football operations Sashi Brown on Tuesday that expressed disappointment in Manziel but stopped short of saying the quarterback's run in Cleveland is over.

"We've been clear about expectations for our players on and off the field. Johnny's continual involvement in incidents that run counter to those expectations undermines the hard work of his teammates and the reputation of our organization," Brown said. "His status with our team will be addressed when permitted by league rules. We will have no further comment at this time."

The reference to league rules points to the fact that the Browns do not have the salary cap space to release Manziel on Feb. 8, the day after the Super Bowl and the first day they can do so. The move will take place when the new NFL year starts March 9, according to the source. Releasing Manziel in February would count $4.6 million against the cap, and due to the cap's machinations, the Browns do not have that space -- and will not have it in February. The cap will increase in March, which will allow them to release Manziel then.

Johnny Afluenza does have a bit of a ring to it.

He comes from oil money.

dollars to donuts he's wearing a cowboys jersey next season smdh

sounds like manziel is really accelerating his descent, it's pretty grim to see

When your agent drops you, it pretty much means they think you are most likely a bust that won't make them anymore money.

Quick answer from Travis Benjamin during introductory Chargers press conference. Was it tough to leave Cleveland? "Not at all."

chad makes me sad

him, randy, TO... they're like peter pan lost boys of the nfl

:/

The trade of Gilbert, who likely would have not made the team during final roster cuts, means the Browns have parted ways with both of their first-round picks from the 2014 draft, and they have none of their first-round picks on the roster from 2012 through 2014.

Gone are QB Brandon Weeden (2012), RB Trent Richardson ('12), LB Barkevious Mingo ('13), QB Johnny Manziel ('14) and now Gilbert.

I'm cool with 0-16. They shouldn't even try to win until San Fran wins another one. Flopson for Watson? Garbage for Garrett?

it's always darkest before Deshaun

0-16 definitely better than 1-15

that said i wouldve felt better about 0-16 had the indians won the WS

lol. oh dear.

can the browns get their 1 at home vs san diego? it's not impossible but...

And lose the Myles Garrett sweepstakes? No thank you!

sure that'll fix everything

Ben Roethlisberger now has more wins in Cleveland (11) than any Browns' QB has since the team returned to the NFL in 1999.
