If Gettleman's firing has anything to do with not extending geriatric franchise icons we're doomed

Olsen wanting an extension i get.  TD lost a step last year.  He was amazing during the 15-1 season, but he clearly wasnt the same last year, which is why Shaq will be playing more than ever.  To tie up cap space in an aging LB rather than investing it in Olsen, Star and our two young Guards is idiotic.  Please let this not be the reason he was pushed out because i will have officially lost faith in JR for good.

don't forget Dave had a LOT to do with last years horrible season 

He had a lot to do with the superbowl run the year before.

You can tell the age of posters on this board by their reactions to this news. The ones who are celebrating are post cam fans and have not seen what blind loyalty to Veterans does to a franchise. 

Those of us who have been around a while know this is a joke and just going down the same paths this pathetic franchise has always taken.

I will wait and see how it all pans out before rushing to judgment, but on the surface this does not seem good.  If the rumors are true, and Gettleman was told to reach a settlement and was unwilling, then the fault is Gettleman's.  He works for Richardson, end of story.  IF there is more to it, well we will see.  I do think there was lingering frustration with the way the situation with Norman was handled last year, and the horrid performance of our secondary.  But the timing seems odd. Actually, it seems terrible.  No point in creating uncertaintity in the front office with the season getting ready to start.

This is a Browns move, through and through.

To be clear I don't agree with the move, but I have to think it was a slow burn here, with things he kept doing over time could have rubbed people the wrong way, including vets, coaches, and owner.  I definitely think Ron should have been axed before Gettleman but who knows.  It's shocking but I'm hoping we'll find a good replacement (if there is one).

Were you aware he has two years on his contract and extension talk right now is dumb as poo?

Basically he's worth more than he's being paid. Business is business, the panthers owe him his worth, right?

If this any indication or our inconsistent direction, Cam isn't getting a ring here. The window is closing and age waits for no one.

JR has been a burden to this franchise since day one.  That's a fact.  The NFL isn't kiddie care, but he won't have it any other way.

Doesn't mean you destroy this franchise's future in place of that. We have VERY important players to sign next offseason, and we might not be able to now.

Kind of makes me wish he could play for another team with ownership that actually cares. This is beyond sad.

The good thing is no one on the Huddle has overreacted at all yet

This is really dumb. The previous GM gave 40 million to an over the hill Jake Delhomme and we sucked for a half decade as a result. GM cleaned up the mess and now we're SB contenders year in and year out. The Browns don't even do stupid stuff like this anymore
