Fantasy Football News and Rumors

I mean, I agree with you totally. They are a great looking team on paper. They just seem to always find a way to screw things up. It's like that time they won the Super Bowl . . . oh wait, no it's like that time they went to the Super Bowl . . . oh wait . . . it's like that time they completely choked two years in a row in the AFC Championship game against Denver. They are just a franchise that has a hard time with prosperity, they are only happy when they are miserable. Their 0-5 conference title game record and the fact that they have had 3 winning seasons in the last 26 years they've played football is a first sign indicator. They have finished last in their division 13 of the last 16 seasons. Nobody can even come close to holding a candle to the misery of Brown's fans in the last 30 years. At least the Lions got to watch Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson play.

They say ever dog has its day. Maybe this is that for the Browns.

Tell me, do you feel the Steelers plan was to run him into the ground then cut bait with Bell? Sort of like the Cowboys did Demarrco Murray?

I feel that is exactly what they were planning

Yeah I hear you. I think a new regime and tons of talent added the last two years help them turn the corner. However I am not expecting them to be SB bound this year. Often times you have to lose in the playoffs before you can win

I still have doubts about Baker sustaining his rookie success. Like I've mentioned in discussions about Kyler Murray, it'll be telling to see how he adjusts to defenses adjusting to him.
Regardless, so long as he doesn't regress, Browns should be damned good offensively. If he actually progresses..crazy potential.

 

[Trudem]

Earl Thomas to the Ravens...wow

 

[SmokingMonkey]

Earl Thomas and Mark Ingram to the ravens in a matter of minutes!!!!

 

[Trudem]

Mark Ingram owners are happy. Plenty of carries going on there

 

[SmokingMonkey]

Ingram 3yrs for 15MIL
Lat Murray 4yr 14MIL

good job saints - similar enough guy for less money and 1 more year

IDK
Sure the ravens run.
But this may be a lean year for the ravens and the split for Edwards vs Ingram is unknown.

Maybe the MBBRL will have a @DuffBeer Doug comeback too since that was his team.

I seriously doubt Ingram gets less of a split than he had in NO but the box will definitely be more crowded

Tyrell William's to the Raiders @leftypower

Tyrell William's to the Raiders @leftypower

Well now we'll see if Carr can regain that magic, if AB is really as good as most of us think he is and if TWill can carve out a role with AB pouting if he doesn't get 20 targets a game. Without a doubt the potential is there................especially if they let Douggie carry the ball 20 times a game.

dont overlook Jordy down there too!

Not what I was hoping for - but it is what it is - he won't get as many targets as I hoped, but likely more than he was. .... pay your money, take your chances. ...

Aww come on now...the only "split" will be a series here and there to give Ingram a breather, Edwards is toast

Guess its not the ideal landing spot, but he has a team and chance to be a starter. If Brown was to pull a hammy or something then he could be the guy for a bit.
Tons of WRs looking for work still.

What world do you live in?
RB getting 20 carries a game is so 1980's.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

So where does Tevin Colemen land? He must be wanting a lot of $ to still be on the market.

Only RB's currently on the team are Richard, Washington, and Chris Warren (and Butler..whomever that is)
Both Lynch and Dougie are currently unemployed
