I don't see Fox taking orders from a guy like Holmgren well. He's been in charge of this organization in every way since he's been here. As far as I know, he and Hurney have never butted heads whatsoever. That wouldn't be the case if he had to listen to Mike Holmgren.

But I'll go dance a naked jig down the street if we somehow got picks for Fox. That would be amazing.

I would think it would be a marriage made in heaven actually.

It might actually be as long as Holmgren doesn't interfere on game days. Got $5 that if Fox does go to Cleveland Peppers will follow.

or Eric Berry

We could use a stud at anyone of those positions: QB, DT, Safety

definitely need a top 5 pick to get one of them, or Clausen over Bradford?

Ugh it'd be so awesome if we got that pick, the possibilities are endless..

Gerald McCoy

Berry(although I bet he goes top 3-4)

Joe Haden

Dez Bryant

Bradford

Clausen

All of those would likely be available to us. Not even mentioning we could trade up several picks and still get some awesome players.

:D :D :D

alright I'm getting way too excited for something that won't happen

If they want him so bad I could take one 1st rounder a 3rd and that reciever Massaqui.

Can't trade coaches for picks anymore.

They key to this is that Fox and Holmgren have the same agent... so Fox's agent is using this whole Cleveland thing as leverage for getting an extension from the Panthers.... it's the oldest play in the book.

Maybe the "I see myself back here next year..." was a leverage statement to get $$$ from Cleveland.

Huddle scooped the Observer. Shocking.

Pep will be dancing naked on the streets too with SMF if Foxy leaves.

As much as I want too, I can't believe any of this. Somebody did put together a good theory though.

I thought I heard some say that the Browns have a boatload of picks. Anyone know this for sure?

they have 10 picks overall. a 1st, 2nd, 2 3rds, a 4th, 3 5ths, 6th, and a 7th

I think Fox would rather play out the last year of his contract. He has basically assembled the team as he wants it with a few missing pieces. I don't see why he would want to start over with the crappy Browns.

I have to say 2 1st round picks does sound pretty nice. But Hurney has to stay.

We are talking about the same guy that says and I quote "Delhomme gives us the best chance to win"

I think I can stand to see some of "his" assembled team dissapear!

Then I'll take a fifth....or 2.

[DynastyRTR]

i doubt they do, but they might trade cribbs and some picks for fox

Possibly, but I'd guess Fox would rather stay put given the choice. There was also a report in NFL.com sighting Fox's agent as saying Fox would only return to the Panthers if he got an extension... so it seems his agent's focus is on making the Panthers chase him.
