2019 Browns Off Season/Roster Discussion

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
If Chubb gets hurt before week 8 my guess is they'd bring in a retread and not just hand the keys over to Hilliard, solid move to land another top ~100 pick.
 
Interesting that Clay projections have Callaway having a better season than Higgins

My guess is they will be watching the waiver wire really close for a 3rd string RB.
 
How much can Rosenhaus really influence this though? Media spinning? More asking in response to the “I don’t think Rosenhaus will allow..etc.”

That isn’t to be construed as disputatious but I’m just curious what approach he can take to try more or less forcing something. I can’t think of any reason why Dorsey can’t just take all the time he wants but I can see why it’s important for organizations and prominent agents to maintain good relations.

I bet Duke Johnson's hamstrings are about to go through a miraculous recovery.

The Browns get strong value back, since I thought Duke was worth a fourth rounder. Johnson will split carries with the significantly shittier Lamar Miller. That's what he wanted, a less talented team with less expectations where he can get some extra touches and barely miss the playoffs in a bad division.

I honestly don't see this as the Browns loss. I always felt Duke was a little overrated, but Duke could have been a cut candidate with his salary and attitude. I don't expect much drop off from Johnson to Hilliard.

Duke is very good at what he does. In the past he should have scene more time as a slot WR. But the touches just wont be there for him and trading him was the right thing for both Duke and the team. Since we have one of the best slot receivers in the league already, Duke becomes even less valuable to the Browns but will push Miller for more carries and touches.

I think this is a win/win/win situation. Cleveland gets a most likely 3rd, Houston gets a good rb to add strength to a weak position, and Duke gets the ability to be showcased more to get one more final contract in 1.5 years.

I thought it was gangsta as fuck that the coaches fed him the ball left and right the first day of real hitting. Oh, Duke, you want more touches? Here you go buddy!

Then he had a questionable soft tissue injury the next day. Hmmmmm...
 
Current FA Running Backs:
  • Jay Ajayi
  • Alex Collins
  • Charcandrick West
  • Steven Ridley
  • Kerwynn Williams
  • Fozzy Whittaker
  • Corey Grant
  • Kapri Bibbs
Any of those guys would be a great third option behind Hunt and Chubb.

I'd rather take the chance on Hilliard.

I think people are going to be shocked with how good he really can become.
