sdrawkcab321 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Kitchens is still coming back to bite us in the ***. His refusal to play njoku once he was healed tanked his value even more. Bastard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Wonder if New England is interested at all in moving Joe Thuney. I’d give up Njoku + whatever pick(s) they’d want (that’s not a 1st or 2nd). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I just read this correctly? Dude's contract is coming up. He lost his starting position to Hooper. Harrison Bryant was drafted and can potentially threaten the #2 spot. He has a better chance of earning big money with another team that has a need at the TE position. I mean, a toddler can put it together. However, you'd rather ignore all of that and instead preemptively accuse him of using the race card? JFC, no wonder this country is the mess it is right now.

Never accused him of anything, preemptively or otherwise.

If he thinks he is going to parlay a trade into a long-term extension he is crazy. And if that is what he thinks, is this all about Hooper getting paid and the Browns buying his 5th year of service "on the cheap"? I am just tying to figure this out, dude. Dont's diss me.

Dont let him take away practice reps from Bryant. Sign either Clay, Dickson, Walker, or Reed to come in to be the #2 TE for the year. Or maybe they are happy with Carlson and Brown and wait for Bryant to develop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you're trying to say that Njoku may turn this into a racial thing because of Hooper and Bryant being brought in. I'm not insulting you, but if you're going to make this kind of ridiculous statement - please clarify what you're saying. 2 hours ago, bruceb said: Based on what...his potential?

The well is drying for him here. Again - a toddler can see that. Hooper is #1 and will be #1 for his contract. Bryant can possibly eclipse Njoku. Why would Njoku want to stay in a place where he might get bumped down to the #3 TE spot? He has two years left on his contract - yes, so he's better off finding a place where he won't have as much competition so that he can inflate his numbers for a bigger payday. It's simple to understand why he'd want a trade - what's not simple is somehow turning it into an idea that he might, in his mind, be turning it into a racist thing. Like... how do you even come to that conclusion? Feel free to explain. If you can't and feel that you're being dissed, maybe it's because you make such a ridiculous statement.

I don't see it with Njoku but the logic is there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like agent speak. If Njoku is that unsure of himself under an HC and OC who believe in high use of TEs, he is an idiot.

Basically "In this day and age I wouldn't be surprised (because he's black) if he thinks losing out is due to racism." But I'll take your word for it. I'd personally rather we trade Njoku and sign a guy like Delanie Walker as a cheap vet to add depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
