This is a bad idea. Maybe he has inside info on the Browns but more likely not.

I thought about going out to watch the game but decided not to. Looks like I saved myself some money and grief. With Browns winning this week, Brownouts will likely continue.

A lot of it is internal migration in Ohio. Toledo, Cleveland, and Youngstown lost population as it moved to Columbus. Channel 10 used to balance Browns-Bengals games the first few weeks, then after the Browns sank out of contention would show the Bengals. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is buying the Columbus Crew MLS team with a plan to move Browns summer training camp to Columbus. If Mayfield turns out to be their franchise QB, then things will get more Browny around here.

No thanks to the return of Hue or Alexander. Neither is a very good coach.

He won't get to play against Hart every week

This is a good move. He's bounced around the league but has become a consistent kicker for the Bengals. Nugent missed an extra point Sunday for the Raiders in a game they lost by 1.

Antonio Brown also tweeted Monday that he wanted a trade.

Hart got dominated by Margus Hunt. How is that even possible?

It holds a player's rights for a season, keeping him off the market. But it doesn't make him sign a contract. So for someone like Bell, who got paid last year, holding out is a viable option. Stealers are acting surprised but they didn't offer him a deal like Gurley got.

The deadline for a multi-year deal for Bell was in mid July. The Stealers offer was pretty weak, less than he was making on the tag.

I'd been going to the Crazy Mule but I think I'll try The Pub this time.

I thought we might pick up Travis Swanson. He's a free agent veteran with lots of starting experience. He'd be a good backup center option. Nobody is going to claim Paxton Lynch on waivers since you'd get his first round contract with guaranteed money. After he's cleared waivers someone will sign him to a new deal.

Technically the contracts aren't guaranteed but for vested veterans who are on a team's roster on week 1, they can claim termination pay equal to the remaining salary for the year. So if they are cut, they can get paid anyway. That ability can only be used once per career so there might be players out there who have already used it and who could be cut after week 1.

That's a horrifically bad move. Hackenberg sucked his last couple years in college, then was overdrafted. He couldn't get on the field for a Jets team desperate for a QB. Then when he does get some playing time this preseason he sucks as usual.

Giants had a bad O-line last year and didn't want Hart back. He was the equivalent of a street free agent like Giacomini. Both are below average RTs. We need to get up to average on the right side of the line.
