    I'm thinking the lowly Browns go and get Cousins and then draft Barkley. Gives them some solid pieces to build on. Could even get them to 5 wins next season. Will it happen?

      Browns roster looks closer to a playoff roster than a 5 win roster imo. Obviously they need a qb but there a lot of good on that team, oline solid, defense (especially front 7) is good, if Gordon can stop fukking up and stay on the field him and Coleman (needs to stay healthy) could potentially be one of best wr combos in league.

      Crazy as it sounds that way it looks to me, of course this the Browns so maybe they draft mayfield #1 and Allen #4, lol.

              I havnt seen him enough to have any type of honest good opinion on that. I think mayfield will be absolute bust so I'd say Allen has to be better pick than him, at least Allen has arm to play in wind and cold while mayfield doesn't. Allen had such garbage around him this year by all accounts but his completion percentage is worrisome.

                Never a Brown's fan but I'd love to see them make the turn and compete.

                  Seems like a great time. Ben getting old, balty fallen off since paying flucco, cincy is cincy. Division is really down and browns have been accumulating good pieces.

                    I agree with you that they have a decent roster. Now if they sign Cousins and can use the #1 and #4 picks on non QBs, they could really make a huge leap next season. They have also accumulated a ton of draft picks the next few years. Signing Cousins would expedite the process as a young QB takes time to develop.

                    I love Mayfield but would prefer to bring in an established QB over using a high pick on a college kid that might not pan out.

                    They have a ton of options so it will be interesting to see how it shakes out.

                      Exactly! If they are ever going to right the "ship" now is the time to strike!

                          Without a fluke win over the Chargers in 2016 they'd be 0 for last 32....wow!

                                The only reason to go there is if you're going to be substantially overpaid. Since Cousins is going to be handsomely rewarded somewhere else it would take an unbelievable amount of money to put Cleveland in the reckoning.

                                  Browns more ready to succeed than lot of other teams that be interested in him. Again this contingent on Gordon not fukkin up but which team has a better oline and wr duo that needs a qb?

                                  Cards? Nope.
                                  Donks? nope.
                                  Both those olines are trash.

                                  Jets? Fukk no.

                                  Jags? With Robinson returning healthy. Yes! But are jags in market to pay upwards of 30 mil a year? If he looking for most money I doubt it be jags. If cousins wants to win he won't go for most money, seriously who cares 20 or 30 mil? I rather take 20 a year and have some help!!

                                      2 outsized NBA stars might be the surprise direction for a paralyzed franchise.

                                          Cousins said he wants a chance to be in the playoffs right away so he is not going to the Browns and I am surprised the Jets have such low odds for his potential landing spot.

                                          Kirk Cousins Team at Start of 2018 Regular Season

                                          99702 Cardinals +800
                                          99703 Jets +275
                                          99704 Browns +400
                                          99705 Bills +1400
                                          99706 Jaguars +600

                                          99709 Vikings +1200

                                          Broncos are chalky but that is probably where he goes, although Jaguars and Vikings are intriguing.

                                            99706 Jaguars +600
                                            99707 Dolphins +2000
                                            99708 Giants +2000
                                            99709 Vikings +1200

                                            Broncos are chalky but that is probably where he goes, although Jaguars and Vikings are intriguing.
                                            Browns have as much talent as most the teams on list. Thing is if you pay cousins 30 mil a year you not making the playoffs much, maybe 1st year then it be all down hill as won't be able to field a competitive team going forward.

                                                    Browns could set themselves up for years to come. Take Barkley #1 then take Allen or Darnold, whoever the Giants don’t take at #2.

                                                    Cousins won’t go there, spend the money on other positions

                                                      How many picks do the Browns have in the first round?

                                                        Just 2 but they are #1 and #4.

                                                          Thanks, LT. I thought their second pick was further down the board. 1 and 4 are solid spots!

                                                            Shrewd trading in form of draft picks, not so much in form of QBs (yet!).

                                                                    I think that is the way to go to get better quicker but im not a big fan of Cousins but im also not a big fan of these QB coming out. Going that way is basically getting two number ones for the price of one. I think they are gonna be pressured to draft a quarterback. I would keep building. If im the browns i might trade down a few spots and take Barkley and than try to trade up and get Baker. All this Baker hate has to do with people comparing him to Johnny football. Johnny had the talent but a two cent brain. Mayfield will make it in this league unless he is another guy that likes the drinky

I though they might be better after week one when they almost beat Pitt at home. (they covered). But that game at home vs green bay really pissed me off.
