    It would have been better to just have let Telesco dumpster dive for defenders these last 3 years, and put all the resources on offense

        It would ahve been better to fire Telesco with Anthony Lynn and find a real General Manager

        In fact, if only keeping one guy, it should have been Lynn

        the combo of Telesco and Staley was the worst

          How do they save money by benching him? They may be keeping him out to avoid injury. In that way he becomes more tradable.
          Of course they would want to redo his contract. But Russ is not keen to agree.

            They are protecting themselves from having to pay out the injury guarantees of that contract, not necessarily saving money, as they still will owe game checks to Wilson. They also probably would have to pay out on any incentives that can't be achieved because of the team holding him from playing. He would have been paid $37M if he couldn't pass a physical in early March.

                      Because there was no Derwin to run all the exotic looks and contingencies .... they shelved a lot of that crap.

                      it had nothing to do with Derwin, or any perceived prima donna me first attitude.

                      It was Staley being Staley.
                      So long as Derwin was here, Staley was going to complicate the defense, can we agree on that?
                      Staley was unwisely obsessed with DJ.
                      For the better of the defense, Telesco should have traded Derwin before the deadline to force Staley's hand, I opined this at the time too.
                      nothing against DJ, but Telesco could and should have saved himself and Staley from their own fate. Rrgardless of the kicking and screaming from Staley.

                        I'm genuinely impressed by the Browns, hope they win it all.
                        front office, coaching, Flacco etc.
                        January Joe coming.

                        edit: Joe come on!! I was just praising you!
