Delhomme: "Start me or cut me"


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Hadn't even seen this till now.

Dan Pompeii (National Football Post, Chicago Tribune) reported that Delhomme was telling the Browns he wouldn't come back unless he was guaranteed the starting job.

The Akron Beacon Journal has reported that browns GM Tom Heckert is saying the story was completely false.

(I'd link it but for some reason the link isn't working now) :sosp:

I'm inclined to believe Heckert. That doesn't sound like Delhomme at all.

Browns GM Tom Heckert is refuting a National Football Post report that Jake Delhomme informed the team he has no intention of being a backup in 2011.

We had a tough time buying the original report, so this is no surprise. Delhomme is due $5.4 million in base salary, and he's clearly no longer starter caliber. The Browns hold every last bit of the leverage here

    • Miami plays Cleveland and Atlanta has Boston.  
    • There is a possibility that however people were measured it differs from what is being done elsewhere.  There were apparently a number of prospects that disagreed with their measurements at the combine... Maybe I just missed it but I'd never heard of this level of it before.
    • https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp Going by this chart that won’t get it done, at all.  both of our 5th rounders are worth 56, total.    The 51st is valued at 390. Moving to 41 takes 100 points. In the second where we are, it is basically 10 points per slot. You can get in front of TB for 60 points. Baltimore at 45.  Which who would do that for 56 points? You are on a wing and a prayer.    To realistically have a good shot at these top guys, outside of Golday, it is gonna take at least 100 points, I am thinking.  And when they go, Golday’s market probably gets a lot hotter.  Just going by the rankings/valuations, I am thinking if you realistically want to assure you get your guy it will take trading back in the first. Which is why I have been saying to do that if we can.  For example 19 is valued at 875. 21 is 800. That, plus one of the 5ths gets you to 100 points which you theoretically could use to get to 41.    I think there are going to be several good options for us at 19, if we are good with taking what is left at 21-23 we can get a good player plus fund a trade up for one of these LBs which is what I am thinking makes sense.
