BTW anyone else catch the comment about Lombardi & Banner hiring both Harbaughs or some crap like that during the superbowl?

Yup, Jim Nantz loves Lombardi/Banner. He will sign a talk radio station in Cleveland last week and just could not understand why Browns fans did not like the Lombardi hiring. I guess he is married to a woman:crazy: from Cleveland.

From a post

Jim Nantz brought it up during the game that "Browns GM" (what he said) Michael Lombardi brought both Harbaughs to the NFL as coaches. In 1998, John Harbaugh was hired in Philadelphia as an assistant coach and in 2002, Oakland hired Jim Harbaugh as the QB coach.

I can't wait to revel in the glory of current Browns position coaches leading other teams to the Super Bowl.

at least they saved $2 million by cutting him. Now they're $50 million or whatever under the cap.

here's the tweet about saving the money:

Source confirmed $2 M of Frostee Rucker's $2.5 M base salary would have been fully guaranteed had been been on the roster tomorrow.

I know how much cap money they have available but I did not know that they had released Rucker. I thought he might fit in as a 3-4 DE . I know that you usually do not post false information but it would be nice to have a link when you posted something that wasn't common knowledge. Thanks!

$50 million? They can sign like, 20 Frostee Ruckers with that kind of cap space!

Think how many usama Young's that would be.

Let the winning commence!

The Giants release Ahmad Bradshaw - if he only wants something under $4 million per year, how about they sign him to a 3-4 year contract and create a two-headed monster at RB? Anyone?

 

[Buckeneye]

Injury concerns make him a bit expensive. I would have been
Interested in Canty but he's about the same boat.

 

[exhawg]

I think any move at RB would need to be a scat back that can come out of the backfield and make plays. Richardson can be a 3 down back since he is a good blocker and can catch. I think Hardesty proved that he can be a good backup, but isn't a receiving threat. A guy like Detard wouldn't be bad if he dropped low enough in the draft. He would never be able to run between the tackles like Sproles or James.

 

[Buckeneye]

I'm not even convinced spoons could catch anything coming
Out of the backfield.

If he could he'd be nasty on a little angle route.
