I doubt very much he'd like to come back here considering we did a lot to make sure he stayed buried on the depth chart. Chud believed in him and brought him with him to Cleveland when he left. Plus, he's probably looking for somewhere to start and that isn't here. He would fit a need, but I think we already burned this bridge. 

I wouldn't imagine any of this rambling is true.

What specifically? Did he not follow Chud to Cleveland? Do you not think he wants to start? Do tell.

Why on god's green earth would they release their best TE and 1,000 yard receiver two seasons ago? Did he have a massive contract? 

Because they're the Browns. Yeah, I don't get it. They're only saving a little over $2M with this move. Next year is when they'll save a lot, almost $4.5M but yeah, seams like you hang onto his this season and then let him walk next year.

[Shocker]

The Browns are good enough to cut him?  Weird.

[ashehudson]

Wait...
The Huddle is in unanimous agreement on something?
Yeah, definitely not happening now

Lol. Happened 5 hours before the 2nd round starts and would change how we draft the rest of the weekend plus the agreement of the Huddle. Sounds way to good to be true.

First of all I doubt he is butt hurt at us for not allowing him to start over Olsen, Shockey.

I also can't imagine him being an emotional wreck and holding a grudge like some over exaggerative fan would.

It's  professional sports.

It makes so much sense it's not gonna happen 

 

He probably doesn't want to play second fiddle to Olsen

Everybody is poo pooing the Browns but I'm impressed with what they're doing right now. That team is a QB away from being a serious contender.

I didn't say he was butthurt about it. I'm just saying that it wouldn't make a lot of sense to return to a head coach that didn't play you regardless of the reason. In most other places, he probably starts a lot sooner. He probably lost a lot of money waiting for his opportunity here. When a team basically walks away from you, it's not likely you'll be interested in returning. Seems simple enough to me.

DG get him on the phone ASAP!!

We walked away from Captain, that didn't stop him from returning.

We walked away from Ted Ginn, that didn't stop him from returning.

I see your point, but I don't think he would be against coming back. Just depends on what he wants to do at this stage of his career.

[Jeremy Igo]

Shot him a text. And although I have zero authority to do so, I offered him the job.

I seriously doubt that Barnidge would tell the Panthers no just because he didn't start here before. People don't last as long as he has in the NFL if they're that thin skinned. I'm pretty sure he would also tell you that he wasn't the same player then as he was at Cleveland. He was very young when he was here.
