Exactly. Time to think about Sunday. Instead of dwelling on this crap for weeks.

We probably would have been swept by the Rams anyway but this essentially guarantees it.
More importantly, we now know that IF we make the playoffs we will be an afterthought, have no chance against the Rams (even though admittedly had no chance before the trade), and there is nothing on the horizon that will now make us better or give us really any chance to be a serious threat for winning even a division playoff game.
It isn't like we are going to spend that $7M wisely anyway. It is going to be wasted on players that don't move the needle or matter.
This was a roll of the die but at least it would show Russ we were giving him what he wanted (after screwing the pooch on AB) and might turn things around if we would bother to roll out an actual passing attack.
More than anything it would give fans some sort of hope.
Now we just get more of Carroll impact: Excuses & Almosts
The days of Carroll delivering winning teams has been over for a long time. But his team is indeed one of the top teams in getting excuses made for it.

Are you saying that if they claimed him on waivers and he didn't want to play for the Hawks - he could just go somewhere else?

Anyway, the reporter interviewed a current Cleveland CB (I think Troy Hill) that played for the Rams last year. Hill basically said that the entire Rams offense runs through Kupp...even the run game to an extent. He believes that it will only be a matter of time before the OBJ/Rams thing implodes. FWIW

He's still getting paid $14M this season by the Browns, which is $3M more than if he stayed there, no?Maelstrom787":2k0q0axm said:Considering he literally just negotiated his way out of significantly more money with Cleveland, yeah. I'd say he was going to choose where he wanted to play without much consideration to money.
Keep laughing, though. Whatever makes you feel less empty.

It was John Johnson who signed with the Browns this year, he is a FS.
