Digging their heels in and “punishing” him isn’t gonna be looked upon favorably by players, even if it’s justified in the eyes of fans. I’ve been on record for over a year saying it’s addition by subtraction. Correct, but it’s not about money, it’s about setting a precedent, continuing to try to develop a culture, avoid toxic relationships and disharmony in the locker room. Yes. You say its not going to look favorably by players but doesnt that also look bad that if you throw a big enough tantrum you get your way so any player can now do that in the browns organization knowing they could be cut and then get to choose where to go next? I think you do what Houston has done all year healthy scratch him for the remainder of the year let him not be a part of the organization and then when its time to release him in the offseason you do it. Dont let him go and allow him to jump on a contender in hopes of landing a ring while the team he played for is not playoff bound? You know whats going to happen if he is cut, he will jump on a team for vet min because the browns are footing the bill this year, he will go to a playoff caliber team they will definitely scoop him up because the team wants a ring, use him until the year is up then dump him, he is happy because he has a ring and now gets to go find a long term big deal on another team while saying he helped that team make it to the superbowl. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I feel like as a whole the past 2-3 years they've gotten more out of those guys + Lawrence than you've gotten out of OBJ if I'm being honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving it as in blowing the whole thing up? Hoping the GM gets canned? Making a scapegoat of Mayfield?

He was playing well until he ruptured his Achilles at the end of last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Dorsey who traded for OBJ. Berry and Stefanski thought they could make it work. Clearly, they were wrong. The only way fans are "loving" it is if they wanted to see OBJ go away. They're now getting their wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's onlyly guranteed 8 this year. The next 2 years are non-guranteed. I would find it hard to believe not 1 team would claim him. Wouldn't be surprised if the jags claimed him.

While I agree with OBJ having the right to be upset with how this season has unfolded, sending his dad + lebron on social media to get traded is NOT the way to go about this. If he had issue with not getting the ball, why wouldnt he ask to have a internal meeting with the Stefanski/Baker/ect and work on where they can improve so that he starts getting those targets. Show them that tape internally and work on it. Go about it in a constructive way and not a detrimental way. Chilish man. Multi Millionaire child athletes.
