I'm getting my picks...that will give me both of Cleveland's number 1's this year, maybe a second this year and a one next year. That's 4 young guys that I can build around and add to the mix.

Instead we've can't spend in free agency, which probably isn't a good idea anyway cause it never works, and we've got no high draft picks the next couple of years. Sorry but I'm taking option one. I know it's not going to happen but still, that's what I'd do.

We still have cap space and great cap guys. Free agency isn't done for us.

Here's a thought, quit bitching about the trade.. You don't like it, we get it but it's done so get over it. We aren't now going to trade with Cleveland, that's just moronic to even conceive and communicate it like it's anything that someone with more than a third grade education would consider.

This sky is falling BS because of this news is just that, BS. I'm sure the powers that be are working on all options to improve this team thru free agency, even if the $36 million penalty sticks. We will spend in free agency, we have 20, TWENTY picks over the next three years and we will see an improvement BESIDES the 'one player' who you seem to be obsessing over.

We can continue to draft the Trent William's, Brian Orakpos and Ryan Kerrigans of the world, but we'll continue to suck until we get a QB. That's 3 top 15 picks over 3 years and all it got us was 5-11. Like Bruce Allen said, we still have 18 picks over last year and this year even after giving up the 2nd this year. They did the right thing.

Lol, I'm never committing a crime with you.

People keep saying this and it's just as stupid now as the first time I read it.

[Evilgrin]

Beyond collusion, there is a huge conflict of interest apparent when they retroactively punish the team with the most cap space to spend. With some of the decision makers being free agent competitors.

[Hog1]

Many of the team owners (that don't spend) have always been jealous of those that do.

[JWsleep]

Also, anyone know who is on this committee currently? Mara chairs it, but that's all I know.

Management Council Executive Committee

They made the decision, apparently.

Not sure who's on it these days. Know Jerry Richardson, Al Davis, and Mark Murphy were on it. Obviously one of them no longer is

Aw, poor Jerry Richardson. Needed more time to focus on running the Panthers huh?
