  • JeBron_Lames

    I’m still pretty excited about this team going into the season. The first time in a long while.

    The sims trade is puzzling. Usama is mediocre at best AND has been injured all pre-season. Sims has shown that he has potential, why not at least keep him for a year? Right now I’d rather him start over Usama at SS.

  • Warburton MacKinnon

    Thought Sims was a safety? Otherwise some that have been cut I would have kept,and some that were kept I would cut. Jebron Lames,you are excited about this team and this year,well now I have heard everything. We will be lucky,possibly very lucky to end up 3-13 on the year. Can’t say I see anything to be exited about.

  • Clevelandfan74

    usama wont be the starting safety, Eric Haag will be. I do agree i’d rather keep Sims though.

  • LazyDawg

    Wow…all I can say is that this is Shurmur being Shurmur. His lips must of felt really good against Holmgren’s back side to get this coaching job.

  • Steve K

    Cant believe they cut Smelley. Anyone would be better than Marecic.

  • Steve K

    Also sad to see Schaefering go. I think he’s about the same talent level as a couple of the guys they kept and he always plays his heart out. Couple chump DB’s they kept around too.

  • woofersus

    Haag is the starter anyway, but while I wasn’t thrilled with Young last year It’s important to remember Sims was playing mostly against not starters when we saw him. It’s also possible that with the tremendous youth movement in the secondary the coaches wanted to keep somebody with experience on the field a little bit. I’m not totally sure I agree with the move either, but there’s always somebody who looks great in a couple of preseason games against scrubs and it can be tough for us fans to keep perspective.

    the browns will end up with 1or by luck 2 wines this year. every player that found the end zone has been cut. evan moore,adonis thomas, brad smelly rod wndsour..
    shumur you get paid to win games not loose them. the meds you are on ARE NOT WORKING.

  • fatdawg

    keeping young over sims just for pick next year,should of kept him and cut young who has done nothing since he has been here and keeping mo mass who has taking more hits to the head then ali was dumb.he is gun shy

    Can’t wait until Jimmy Haslam cuts Shurmur and Holmgren!!!

  • Wow

    Can I have whatever you’re drinking?

  • Vindictive_Pat

    I just hope Young can play special teams… if you’re not a starter in the secondary, you better be able to play special teams.

  • Vindictive_Pat

    Me too… looking forward to seeing T-Rich and looking forward to seeing some growth from Weeden.

  • BiggDawg91

    This season is turning out to be the same as other seasons for the Browns. Full of promising possibilities that never workout in Cleveland. We are doomed by the choices the organization makes repeatedly, season after season. I can’t wait for the season to be over with, so we can take another high draft pick that we will trade away for some magic beans.

  • tired of waiting

    why in the world would you keep an injury prone fumble machine in hardesty and cut a rooking Adonis Thomas who produced more than hardestys best performance other than possibly one or two games favoritism comes to mind big big mistake cleveland even as a third stringer hardesty is a joke dumb dumb move the kid(adonis) will find a team and make you all look like the jackasses you are
