He'd be smarter to wait until the end of the college football season and than say he has decided to go back and finish up his college eligibility because it will be better for him in the long run, than be immature and say you don't want to play for a particular team.
Honestly, I'd pocket pick #1 money and worry about diploma/Browns later. If I'm really good, I'm bound to sign at least one more good deal with the team of my choosing and if I'm not, I'm set for life, regardless.
players / salary / signing bonus
That's what I mean. I'll declare for draft, if Browns want me, I'm a Cleveland's biggest fan ever. If they don't, I'll go to New York and sing my way to the bank. The only thing I don't want to do is to go back to college. There are no health guarantees.
I agree, absolutely no reason to go back to college except to help your team win a national championships. Rosen and Darnold will develop more in the nfl than college and get their money. We have seen players have decistating injuries in their senior years that have had major impact on their careers.
To be completely honest I think I would rather go to Cleveland than New York with how much is going on there. Cleveland's issue isn't talent, it is how young their team is. If they are able to get some key veteran contributors they have a good o-line when Thomas is there, have a solid running game, and have a solid stable of wide receivers. Plus they injected some youth into that defense. They are better than their record shows. If they were able to protect the football better and not be -40 or whatever they are in turnover ratio, I think they would be a pretty decent team.
You have to read the entire article to understand what he is saying. Taking this out of context makes it sound a lot worse.
Maybe they will play him in the wc round too
Draw it up in the playbook Reid
I completely agree. Classless to bring this up to a reporter who will mince words to get more clicks.
