Also, we need to find a creative way to sign Armstead, not only bc we can use him, but bc it would really screw the Aints. Also, imagine a starting OL of Armstead/BC/Lindenbaum or Bozeman/Corbett/Moton. We are immediately in bully mode.

Thank you for all you do, @Verge. You are trusted and appreciated. F the haters.

Idk... we had the report earlier in the offseason, iirc, that Burns was the one untouchable on our roster. Also, I've repeatedly said all over these threads, no matter the picks it takes, we should use whatever we have to keep Chinn and Burns, and I maintain that... but if it comes down to it, the golden rule in the NFL is hierarchy of importance to a team is QB, pass rushers, and franchise tackles (typically LTs) - So, going off that, if theybhave to pick between giving them Chinn and Burns, it's likely Chinn they give up. But, it's likely HOU wants Burns more. Hence the compromise of trades, but F them... they can find their own players with the bevy of picks we're giving them. So again, I reiterate, if at all possible, we need to bribe them with picks to keep Burns and Chinn here.

Man, so relieved! I was scared someone was gonna get him from us! Whew!!!

They definitely are... I said the same thing yesterday. When we have been the frontrunner, the national media dies down to a whisper. When another team seemed to be getting in the driver's seat, they were frothing at the mouth to tweet, retweet, and report.

Damn. I knew a bit about Allbright before this week, but since intently following the Watson stuff, he has quickly become one of my favorites.

Despite the weak package, i actually think him meeting with the Browns is more bc if the Texans interest than his. As dumb as the McNairs are, I could see them thinking Baker gets them where they want to be a lot quicker and he's a Texas guy, so they might think he could help them rebound quickly with fans and sales. I just don't see why Deshaun would be all that interested despite the good structure in place. It probably is the best team top to bottom on both sides of the ball with the best coach, or at least known quantity in a coach, out of the 3 teams we know of... but, at the end of the day, it's Cleveland.

Whoa! The Watson Saga even brought CatMan72 out of the shadows!

"Well, if you dont... LET ME REINTRO--- wa, wait... was it 'let me' or 'allow me,' Deshaun? Can I call you Deshaun?"

I wonder if Coach Hov told him about Jay-Z?

Damn that would be devastating. And to think, we could've just used it for Khalil Mack instead.

The local guys had been saying we were looking to add a safety once FA started regardless of the Watson situation. My guess was more of a ballhawk-type guy so Chinn could go back to SS and play more in the box. So, I'm not sure how to take that signing being that no one is safe apparently.

Yeah he's full of poo. Looked at his page and he doesn't appear to be affiliated with KC in any way. Radio show seems to be independent/small-time. That would be like Joe Ovies or Adam Gold from the Raleigh stations here saying they heard something about another NFL team/player. And when is the last three way trade we've seen in the NFL? And Brady announced he was coming back just for the Bucs to try to trade him? Yeah, ok.

That why I'm asking him, otherwise, he's definitely pushing up on that line.

Then who are we giving up in the trade? Otherwise, anyone can say anything on the internet and if it sticks they get to say they're right. And in this case, you have a 50% chance.

I agree. It just doesn't make sense for them... that being said, fug them. If Watson narrows it down to just us, and thats clear between both us and HOU, the price may come down a bit. Also, after we acquire Watson, we should sign Armstead as @TheCasillassuggested earlier, just to further their cap hell for fuging with us on this deal.

Saw it debunked multiple times by verified guys earlier. I think one may have been their beat writer. He said they never even discussed an offer... but I do think Wilson is somewhere between trash and average. He the modern day Rick Mirer.

Browns are playing with fire. As Sheena said, its likely HOU blocks all AFC teams from talking with him, and they still have Baker there. I dont blame them, but just doesn't seem like a smart thing to do. They may end up causing themselves more problems. As a side note though, I wonder if something has changed though bc last season, they supposedly did at least entertain offers from MIA. So maybe they only are deny requests within their division, but not the AFC as a whole?

I also think "Yippee Ki Yay, motherfuger" originated in Texas. Must've been him.

U got a connect?

Yeah, was thinking the same thing. Every tweet has been pro-Aints or shitting on us, or both. They're clearly using him as a mouthpiece. When the LV odds turned back in our favor and for the balance of the day where everything has been about us and him, he still did not once put us as the favored team or frontrunner. He just tweeted out generic, already-known info.

Was thinking something similar earlier. My first walk down bourbon st was mind blowing. and I'm from Fayetteville, so thats saying something.

I think Aaron Wilson has a very close source in NO. Not necessarily reliable, but close.
