Already a precedent, they have been doing it for years- it's how they get guys to sign with a perennial loser. With Hartline it comes down to convincing him to pass up playing on the best franchise forth last decade. They have to do that with money. The question becomes whether they feel they can fill that same need for less. IF so I'm fine with them moving on.Honestly, it's good to hear. It's easy to chastise the Browns for being "cheap" because they have a bunch of cap space.. It'd be a bad precedent to set to put the cherry on top for every free agent you sign..
We should start him at QB. Must see TV.I LOVE the fact that Lanning's twitter picture is him throwing a football.
I know this sounds like a pipe dream because it's Cleveland but if the Browns are serious about winning games next year they can very well trade 2nd/3rd rd pick(s) for Cutler, sign Randall Cobb or Torrey Smith in FA, draft a WR at 12 & 17 and boom you got your selves a 9+ win team next year.
Do we really want Hartline? Is he better than I think he is?

I am not about just winning games next year, I am about winning games in the future, as well.
Let's get something straight: Jay Cutler fucking blows.
No thanks on bringing him back. While he wasn't bad *when he wasn't holding*, he's certainly replaceable for what he could potentially cost.
Also, Trent Cole is coming to Cleveland Sunday. http://www.ohio.com/sports/browns/b...le-scheduled-to-visit-with-cleveland-1.572514
He'd be good in a rotation, but I still prefer Hughes.
