[quote=vallin21;538139]No one's arguing that he wouldn't cut Allen, because he's a freakin Pro Prowler! The guy could knock a man out with a bat and he'd still be on the team. He's a great player MACKLIN ISN'T. My point is players that are bad football players like Macklin should not get DUI's, because they have a greater chance than (Allen) to get cut. Macklin shouldn't have put himself in that situation because he's almost assured to get cut.[/quote]

Id bet that Macklin was going to get cut anyway and they were just doing this to set a tone for the younger players.

Macklin shouldn't haven been drinking and driving because he could of have ended up like Donte Stallworth...or Derek Thomas. That the worst thing that happened to him is he got cut by the Chiefs, he should consider himself blessed

No it's not, Bass Pro Shop is in Hampton. Not even close, his arrest occurred in Newport News up around the Casey Chevrolet/Riverside Hospital Area.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

We could use Osgood on ST's but he would have the same problem here with playing time at the WR spot. Sounds like he doesn't mind throwing his coach under the bus. We already have Portis for that.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

We should go after a LB in free agency and draft to soilidify our O-Line.

Not surprising, coming from the Raiders.

BROWNS ANNOUNCE ACQUISITION OF PATTEN
Posted by Mike Florio on March 23, 2009, 10:08 p.m.

On the same day that G.M. George Kokinis indicated that the Browns would be signing receiver David Patten, the Browns did just that.

The team announced the move earlier this evening.

Patten returns to the Browns nine years after a one-season stint with the club, during which he started eleven games.

The next year, Patten jumped to the Patriots, and participated in the team’s three Super Bowl championship seasons.

Patten’s 12-year NFL career was actually preceded by a one-season stint with the Albany Firebirds of the AFL.

He spent the past two seasons with the Saints, and two seasons prior to that with the Redskins.

OLB Cato June and OT Marvel Smith are still unsigned, does anyone know if the skins have shown any intrest? Both are starters and Smith was in the Pro Bowl 4yrs ago

The Bills are met with June at the beginning of March and they're the only team I've seen a report of interest in him.

The Raiders, Ravens and 49ers met with Smith and he's close to signing with SF.

Cato June is washed up, but I wish we'd looked at Marvel Smith. Too late now, it appears.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

The Browns are apparently trying to build a replica of our 2005 offense, at least in terms of players we could have acquired.

- They recently traded Kellen Winslow, who we could have drafted in 2004.
- They have Braylon Edwards, who we had interest in back in 2005.
- To complement Edwards, they have David Patten and Robert Royal
- They will have a QB competition between Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn, either one of which could have conceivably been Mark Brunell's successor if not for Campbell.

I don't see this ending well.
