Most Browns fans like them?

The consensus everywhere seems to be they aren't that bad. I mean compared to the straight up offensive new Bucs jerseys last year, they're like Armani. But there was nothing wrong with the Browns unis, so not sure why they chose to change them other than Nike saying so.

Can't wait for Nike to ruin the Raiders and Chiefs next. Or don't please.

They aren't terrible but they seem pointless. The browns have gorgeous unis and the font of the numbers is straight out of the 90s.

This year's draft might be the most interesting in many years. No one has any idea which player teams are focusing on, looks to be at wide open & unpredictable draft.

I kind of want it to be over, just because I'm completely sick of the Mariota to Philly speculation. It's not going to happen, yet the media won't shut up about it.

It's really shifted to a Charges/Mariota rumor now. Now it's just jokes regarding the Eagles drafting Armstead and/or Fisher, both former Ducks.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Kelly wants Mariota, I don't think there's much debate there. Bradford, beyond being fragile, is also on a 1 year deal and would become extremely expensive to re-sign, assuming he can even play well enough to justify it. I think they want to trade up, but have targeted a team they think they can make a reasonable trade with rather than say what the Redskins gave up. If Mariota falls to that team, I can see it happening.

Yeah, the Chargers have way more ammo to move up than the Eagles, but the Philly beat writers aren't letting the Mariota stuff go.

I think that's the thing though, the cost has to be reasonable. I think the most the Eagles move is Bradford + two first round picks + 1-2 roster players. Is that more appealing to either the Titans or the Bucs than the what teams like Cleveland and San Diego can offer. I guess if it's true that the Eagles are dangling Cox and/or Kendricks, then that's probably better than any roster player you can get off the other teams, but are they worth more than say three first round picks from the Browns?

I also think trading Cox would be a huge mistake.

Stolen from a friend's facebook, who stole it from twitter:

"Breaking: Rodger Goodell has suspended Aaron Hernandez for 3 games."

No way move Cox. He's already very good and getting better.

I'm on the fence. I do think they should hold onto Cox at all costs, but if you think Mariota is a franchise QB, then I think you make that move but also better not be giving up any more than two first rounders to go with it. A franchise QB is worth more in the long run than a stud defensive lineman.

FWIW, I think a package of Bradford + 20th overall + 2016 1st + Cox for #2 would be more attractive to the Titans than Rivers straight up for #2. Titans have a tonne of holes to fill.

I guess it comes down to if you truly believe Mariota is the guy, I am not 100% sold that he is. And that is a lot to give up if you're not positive. Losing the two first and the second in the Bradford trade just makes us feel so bare. Never been a fan of these packaged pick trades, they never seem to turn out.

Yeah, I keep forgetting about that second round pick in the Bradford trade. Ugh.

sounds like Russell Wilson is trying to enhance his bargaining power by saying he can play baseball for Texas... yeah i am sure a .225 hitter in the minor leagues is going to get a big pay day.... i'm sure Seattle is really concerned that he could bolt for MLB... the guy has such a big ego....

Are we thinking about the same Wilson?
Whether you love or hate the hawks, there is no question Wilson is one of the bright spots of the NFL.
