Ed Dickson has lined up as a pass catching H-Back fairly often this season sooo

I know that.

But it was an easy opportunity to take a shot at Shula so I decided to go with it.

I'm pretty sure I heard RR say that they want to train Armah to be an H-back/TE type of player in one of his pressers a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure he has a long way to go, at this point, though.

Fify 

but id also add a couple bottom of the roster moves that won't help at all and the team will feel good about its options sans Olsen.

You guys realize the rookie we just signed to the PS is a beast right? And he's already on the payroll,  no need for Barnidge, or any other big name FA

Barnidge

Why? Barnidge could be just what the doctor ordered.

If he's such a beast, then why did he get cut? Or are you being sarcastic?

Or we could just make better use of our WR's and actually give Dickson a chance when he's wide open instead of throwing it 10 feet over his head.

I've said it many times on here, so here it goes again, when your TE is your number 1 pass threat and has 3 consecutive 1000 yard seasons to prove it, your offense has problems.

Bucky was cut by the team that drafted him and they didn't even put him on their PS. 

 

Even Beau Sandland made the Panthers PS, and he was awful.

I understand what you're getting at, but this is what caught my eye when it comes to Barnidge:

• Barnidge ranked 25th among 63 qualified tight ends last season with a 70.6 overall grade. His 76.0 pass blocking grade led all tight ends in 2016 but he ranked 50th with a run blocking grade of 43.6.
• Barnidge’s 123 pass blocking snaps last season lead all tight ends as he allowed just three total pressures.
• Barnidge wasn’t used much in the deep passing game in 2016, he ranked third among tight ends in 2015, however, in terms of both catch rate (60 percent) and receptions (six) on deep passes (balls that travel at least 20 yards in the air).
• Over the past two seasons, Browns QB’s had a 111.1 QB Rating on 73 targets to Barnidge at the intermediate level (10-19 yards in the air).

So why is he still unemployed 2 weeks into the season?

Teams are trying to be cheap.

He may be asking for too much money. Probably nothing a little negotiation can't overcome.
