He was "replaced by" Jordan Cameron as the #1 TE. If Cameron can't play, then one of our back-up TEs (we have at least two) will have to step up. Regardless of whether it was one of them or Watson, nobody could replace Cameron's production this season, so your question is kind of pointless. Watson is 32 and management obviously thought they could spend their money more wisely elsewhere. I'd think you could count on Grey for the 10 ypc Watson gave you last year. Successfully managed franchises like New England, the Steelers, etc. have been doing this for years.... erring on the side of letting go of players too soon as opposed to too late.

^Have you considered that Watson wanted to try and find a home where he wasn't simply a contingency plan? And if that was going to be his role, wouldn't he be an awfully expensive contingency plan? I have to believe that the Browns thought they could find something comparable to Watson on the open market if and when the need arises. It's not like we are talking about Tony Gonzalez.... or even someone who found a starting job on another team.

Because they wanted their 2nd TE to be primarily a blocker, which Watson has never been particularly good at. Nor do I suspect he would have willingly accepted that limited role.

^They lined up Grey in the wildcat with Hoyer split out wide one play, but Cincy called a timeout. He looked pissed walking off the field.

It's not April Fool's and this is not a joke. Lasagna Flop is on our training camp roster - http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index.ssf/2013/09/cleveland_cavaliers_2013-14_tr.html#incart_river#incart_special-report

I can't put my finger on it, but there is something very disturbing about that picture. Does that guy have the torso of a fat boy with chicken arms and legs?? The skinny jeans probably don't help. Gentlemen, never buy the jeans which taper around the knees.

The 'Dawgs', currently ranked #3 in the NFL, have not allowed a 100 yard rusher or a 100 yard receiver so far this season. They'd easily be #1 against the run if not for the fact that teams can't afford to even try to run against Denver due to the Broncos building large leads in all of their games. Currently, we are allowing 2.9 yards per rush. Taylor, Bryant, Kruger, Sheard, Mingo, Jackson, Haden, and Ward are all arguably having pro bowl seasons. Taylor and Haden could be in the mix for Defensive POY if they maintain their current level of play.

^Believe it or not, vindication might actually be just around the corner :clap:

Awww... you poor thang. Keep your chin up, champ. You still get to play the Steelers again. :D In the meantime, go cry in the corner with Adrian Peterson's daughter.

^Looks like you had some real hot-heads sitting a few rows in front of you... I hate the elf. Couldn't we at least give him some bells on the the tips of his socks? Or is it a her? I honestly can't tell.

While he will certainly make a pitch to LeBron - contingent upon the Heat not 3-peating, which would lock up his return to Miami... at least for the last year of his contract - Gilbert already has made some significant plays. Bynum was a HUGE roll of the dice.... one only the most motivated of owners would have made. Keep in mind that no teams even bothered to try and match our offer. I also think the fanbase is seriously overlooking and/or underestimating the signings of Jack and Clark. The bottom line is that, while Gilbert is open to criticism for certain things, you can't criticize his desire to win and his willingness to spend.

The 'Dawgs' are back!

That Ubaldo trade is looking great.... again

Bucks will be wearing their Nike 'Rivalry' uniforms

Perez is out as closer. They're gonna try a Smith/Masterson combo

LeBron will be on the sidelines tonight..... along with 50 of the best HS recruits from around the country. Not a bad pitch man

And you're more thoughtful than the cwap you just put in that post. Let's stick to the facts and not what "seems" off to you. Other than through the use of stereotypes, the 'purple drank' allegation has no legs. The kid is 21 years old and a star athlete. To my knowledge, he is not on any probationary status (with the league, team, or the law) which prevents him from consuming alcohol or hanging out at places that serve alcohol. He shouldn't have to face criticism for lending his name and appearance to a local nightclub. If he was headlining a local NORML convention, I could see your point.... even though I would much rather prefer that my star athlete smoke pot than drink alcohol.

We'll never have another humorous moment on here if the standard for funny is a thread featuring men in low-rise capri jeans. We just need to place that in a category all its own and move on...

How is he going to be "tempted to repeat" the "same mistakes"? Last I checked, most night clubs don't let you smoke the ganja on the dancefloor. Are you suggesting that he should not be living the life of a hermit?

I agree as well. So what if he is listed as the "host" of a Thursday night party by some nightclub? There is no violation of league rules. His problem was never drinking or partying.... it was smoking a substance which is now legal in several states and will, eventually, be legal nationwide. The issue over this past summer, I truly believe, was nothing big at all. If it was, the league would have slapped him with the full four games he should have got for another infraction. Plus, to use a poor dog analogy, you don't want to take his 'bite' away. Great receivers almost always have a certain level of 'diva' in them.

At least everyone is allwight

Perez just needs something to calm his nerves....

Anti-development Cleveland Heights city council candidate Fran Mentch cited on assault charges for pulling the hair of the Executive Director of the CCPL in an alleged outburst over the sale of the Telling Mansion in South Euclid.... http://www.cleveland.com/lyndhurst-south-euclid/index.ssf/2013/09/telling_mansion_supporter_fran.html

D'oh! Yes. Dan Whalen, the former do-it-all QB.... no the sports columnist Dan Wetzel

You could be right..... but I would hate for anyone to misunderstand my feelings on the issue. I love Collinwood. I've always been a regular down there, no matter how up or down the neighborhood was perceived. But what I love about it IS its kinda 'rough edge' (for lack of a better term). I would actually hate to see it go the way of some yuppie/hipster enclave full of coffee shops, oxygen bars, second hand book stores, and knit scarf botiques. If it did, it wouldn't be Collinwood anymore.
