Those were the words from Kevin Donley (former Panther OL and current sideline reporter) when talking about Brady Christensen.  Just now on Kyle Bailey’s afternoon show on WFNZ.

Also seems to really like Ikem.  Really glowed talking about Ikem and Christensen lined up beside each other at LT and LG.

 

 

 

 

- lastly was watching ESPN this afternoon.  And one of their shows was really digging into the Bears awful OL.  Then they showed a stat from last year.  And Browns OL last year gave up the 2nd or 3rd highest pressure pct only ahead of the Bears last year (yes even worst than our statistically).  So much for the idea that the Browns had this superstar team and Baker held them back last year.  Dude set rookie records year 1, top 10 QB year 2, hurt playing on an overrated roster year 3.

This is great to hear.  If LT and LG are shored up, it just makes things very smooth for everyone whether we have to rebuild, retool, or continue whatever we're doing with Rhule.

The one big IF is if Baker clicks, we're suddenly a head coach and 2 playmakers (Offensive skill & DL) away from contending.

We're stepping close to being respectable again.

Yeah if we can get some protection on the blind side any QB back there will have an easier season....

If all your assumptions pan out I think it’s just DL. We have elite offensive skill weapons. CMC and DJ are as good RB/WR1 combo you’ll find in the NFL and Robbie is a legit 2

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
