I must say after seeing what the bears did for the O line and for so little draft capital Im a little jealous.
So am I.
Both lines are a major problem right now. And THAT is not a recipe for winning football, regardless of QB and skills players

Happy to have him back. More expensive than I wouldn’t liked, but it’s only by like 3m.
So — Chinn is next, we hope, and also Fowler

Easy to see that coming unfortunately.

Both the Browns and Garrett are dumb as a box of rocks. Garrett doesn’t really want to win, which is obvious because that Cleveland roster is pure ass. They went from an up and coming team that could *possibly* challenge for the AFC title and they ruined that in a span of 3-4 years. The Browns are dumb because they could have gotten a decent return for Myles and they could have potentially drafted his replacement in Abdul Carter and saved a shit load of cash doing so.
Yep, I'm not sure any single player that's not a QB is worth $40M. And drafting Carter would likely replace his production at a fraction of the cost. But hey, like you said the roster is ass, so who else do they have to spend it on?
No issue with someone choosing to stay with the only team they’ve ever played for. That isn’t selling your soul, IMO.

All that talk about wanting to win got shut off when he saw the contract. Money talks

Eisen said this week that everyone he spoke to said that, as crazy as it is, the Browns seemed 100% committed to not trading Garrett. It's not like he could just choose to leave. If they were really that determined to keep him, they had the power to make things very difficult.
We'll likely never know what all went on behind the scenes, but this feels to me like a situation that ended with, "Okay, fine. You want to hold me hostage? It's gonna cost you."

How many players have forced their way out of their current teams. He could have made it very, very difficult for Cleveland to keep him. If he truly wanted to go and win, he could have. Cleveland is, and always will be, a loser franchise.

A bunch, and we never know what goes on behind the curtain, so the media draws the conclusions that make for the best stories and we eat them up like popcorn at the movies.
Sometimes, if we like the player, he escapes the confines of his former prison team and arrives safe in the bosom of another. And sometimes, if we don't like the player, he bitched and moaned and misbehaved himself out of a situation and will continue to be a malcontent cuz that's who he is.
And for the ones that stay put? If we like them, they stood up for themselves and got the deal they deserved. If we don't like them -- or didn't like the outcome -- then he's a money-grubbing asshole that lied to everyone and doesn't want to win.
We don't know enough to draw any of these conclusions except in very rare occasions when the truth is actually revealed. Most of the time, like this one, we just choose the story we like best and behave like it's the truth.
Garrett seems like a good dude that loves to play. Getting what he said he wanted might very well have required refusing to play; refusing to live up to his word. A guy like that might try to get out WITHOUT compromising himself in those ways, find that he can't do it in a way he's comfortable with, and make the most out of staying put.
See? That's a nifty little story I just made up that could just as easily be true, and probably has been in the past...
Maybe you'll keep picking the supposition you prefer, or maybe you'll admit that you don't know. Up to you.

Who among us here would have been excited about that number, plus the crap ton of picks out the door. I feel like there's better ways to build a SB winner. Kinda feel like we dodged a self inflicted gunshot wound to our own dick.
