But Bud Shaw needs a few lessons in football. Six feet tall isn't undersized. What's average for a receiver, Bud? 6'3"? Bud thinks the Browns cut him because of his size, since, you know, they kept Pryor.
Bud also says we have lots of possession receivers already. Yeah guys like Benjamin, Gabriel, and Hawkins are possession receivers and say, waitaminnit...what was that thing about size?
Jeez Bud. Stick to baseball or something.
Ray Farmer, as I've said, doesn't let his ego interfere with his brain. Mayle and that linebacker were also released.
Mary Kay Cabbot thinks they'll try to get Mayle on the practice squad. They might. But they'll probably prioritize Lenz. Ray took a calculated risk here. He has to want to hold onto this kid. Lenz doesn't have the measurables of Charles Johnson, so he might get away with it this time.
Mayle? I hate to call a guy a bust right out of the gate, but...
Mary Kay assumes the ego thing again, forgetting that Gabriel, Williams, Solomon, Meder, and several other prominent players were Ray Farmer reclamations too.
Oh yeah. And Josh Lenz.
I told you they'd try to peddle West shortly after the draft, and that the Cowboys were likely partners. Did you find that amusing?
It's not over. The Joneses felt the asking price was too high. I'm guessing it was at least a third round pick, or even a second.
The Cowboys took their chances, hoping he'd survive through waivers long enough to reach them. Only Ray don't play that. Terrence West remains a Cleveland Brown, and Jerry? The asking price is still the asking price.
You don't cut a good player if you can avoid it. For Ray, it was always trade him or keep him. It's even debatable that Crowell is better than he is. There's little separation between them.
Mary Kay is really good, but if you read her and not me, the Mayle cut and Pryor retention surprises you, and the Lenz cut doesn't.
Ok I'm fishing for a compliment here. Anything? Anything?
Excuse me while I check out the whole list...
Tom Reed gave me the whole scoop. He agrees with Bud Shaw that the Browns super fast microbes are possession receivers, but I'll leave that aside: There are only six offensive linemen on the current roster, so back to the West trade:
Part of what Ray wants from Dallas for West was probably an offensive lineman. Dallas is stacked there, with starting calibre guys collecting splinters.
No doubt Ray is eyeballing other guys in the league, but stay tuned. Rayray could turn Terrence West into somebody like Cam Erving and a draft pick or two any time now.
Tom Reed is a little more surprised by the tight end situation than I am. He thought they'd try to upgrade it more.
In other words, nothing EJ Bibbs has done so far matters.
Oh I get it. None of these guys can replace Dizzy Cameron (when conscious and healthy), but does Tom think those guys grow in trees?
This is why Butterfingers Housler made it. They found it hard to give up on the guy.
Listen: This guy is an old vet. They've got a lot of PRO film on him. Evidently, they believe his dropsies are an anomaly. If you think you know better, get over yourself.
And if they're right, Housler is Cameron and a bag o chips.
Well that's all for now. Just remember you heard everything here first.
Almost forgot: The Dwayne Bowe cut theory probably came from somebody who read an old blog of mine. No credit. No pay. I'm kinda sick of it. That's really low.
