Per ESPN/Schefter.

Dude is indeed diabolical horny and a predator, but I do/did believe in his on-field ability, but after seeing/hearing early reviews of how he's looked, then add an 11 game suspension on top of missing a full year before that...  that's gonna be tough to come back from.  Also, unless Brissett can set the world on fire, it sounds like a wasted year for the Browns.

The league bent itself into more positions than a contortionist trying to look like they were being tough on him while not actually being anywhere near as tough as they should have been.

Not sure whether women's groups will give them a pass on this. Honestly, I'll laugh if they don't.

I’m just waiting for him to appeal and get to play week one but serve the rest of his suspension afterwards.

I have a feeling this may happen.  No way the Browns essentially lay down and blow a year with him.  This isnt over.  The NFLPA is going to appeal if they can and who knows from there

I've thought about that, but I don't think it's possible considering this was agreed to by both the NFLPA and the NFL.  And the NFL reportedly wanted an entire season at minimum, so I'm thinking this isn't really the kind of suspension he can appeal.

The way this is being reported is that the NFL and NFLPA agreed to this. Could be wrong...

      MLB Devin Lloyd for WR Jalen Coker??

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Honestly, it only makes sense if you're trying to chase being the best bad team you can be this year. The number one question we need answered this season is whether or not Bryce is our long-term franchise QB. Trading away a second year WR who was second on the team in catch percentage, first in yards per target, and who clearly outplayed your 1st round pick for a likely one year rental fill in LB is exactly the type of short sighted desperation moves that has made us the worst franchise in the league under Tepper. We gotta stop making these types of moves and just focus on building a good organization and a good roster. Lloyd is a JAG LB another bad team and awful defense is wavering on and a couple of Panthers fans are salivating over him. Oof. We just need to be patient and wait. Definitely make some calls around the league to teams deep at LB and see if there's an opportunity to add one for a late round pick. Definitely shop the waiver wire hard. The reality is that LB is almost certainly going to be a weakness for us this year. We weren't fixing our entire roster in one off-season and we're not fixing an overall weak positional group in late July.  If you trade for Lloyd LB is still a weakness and you've given up a young promising WR who could potentially help you answer the question of whether or not Bryce is that guy. That's bad football business.

      Bucs get bad news

      I think it's because we've had a player to hate on NO (Breese) and Atl (Ryan) while Tampa had Winston who was never really a threat or dislikable like the other 2

      yeah. it was also reported that Brown was taking it light today because of oblique soreness. Sounds like the 2 of them were a bit too rough with each other for practice.
