  1.5 less than what browns offered him. Hope he stinks it up in Denver.
• bases_loaded

  

  5.5 per year. Seems it was probably mutual parting as he doesn't really fit the Pettine system.

  I've i'm not mistaken, Revis has no guaranteed money in his contract, so if they trade for him, and he starts to QQ or play declines they can cut him with no penalty.
  
  But if he's wanting to re do his deal with a big signing bonus he can kick rocks.
  
  Glad with the Whitner signing and same with Dansby.
  
  Wonder if we will do anything at the QB position and at the WR/RB positions or if those will be draft targets.

  Have a friend in the Bucs organization who said browns and bucs are exploring a revis for Mack trade.
  
  Do not take that as gospel, as I hate people who say "I have a friend..." And start some bs rumor. So take it FWIW, just thought it was interesting to throw out there.

  If the Browns dont have Mack, I'd look for them to draft Martin, kid out of USC, in the 2nd round of this draft.

  I had heard that earlier. Could be just the same rumor getting passed around though.
  
  Who would we get for Center?

  Grab a center in the draft. Like COA said, Martin would be a nice get. Or maybe there is someone else out there in FA they can target?
• Lovejoy1984

  

  Bengals cut Kyle Cook, not sure how good he is though.
  
  But agree, would be easy to replace Mack, at half the cost.
• Dr. KnOiTaLL

  

  Decker a possibility for the Browns from what I'm reading.

  Nate Ulrich ‏@NateUlrichABJ 6m #Browns have struck 4-year deal on an offer sheet w/ #Bengals WR Andrew Hawkins, source says. He's a restricted free agent, so CIN can match

  I like this move.

  Killed the browns last season if I recall correctly.

  Evidently the Browns cut Hawkins back in 08. Twitter is saying he's not the traditional slot guy built to take punishment.

  No, but Jared Abbrederis in the 4th round is.

  Can he play Roby every game?
• Lovejoy1984

  

  Saw the Bears cut Peppers, and Miles Austin cut from the Cowboys.
  
  I like the Hawkins deal, money isn't too crazy, so I think the Bengals match, but Mike Brown is cheap.

  Lol, that was pretty a pretty embarrassing effort from #1.
  
  Question for you guys: I think it's pretty apparent we want another young ILB. Anyone else think Shazier at 26 would be a good move?
• Lovejoy1984

  

  Shazier isn't built to play in the middle, so probably not.
  
  Though a Chris Borland might be a target, heard something about Arthur Moats as well.

  He had 1 catch for 6 yards against Cleveland.

  He must have one hell of an agent.
  
  I'm a little bit leery about giving $14 million guaranteed to a 32 year old LB, regardless of how good he was last year. Hopefully his body holds up for another 2-3 years.
