Maybe they can make a trade for Dustin Hopkins. It would be a full circle moment, and the Browns don't need him.
The problem is the cap hit cutting Bass and taking on Hopkins 5M+ AAV salary... unless there's a way of adding draft capital to the deal in exchange for Cleveland swapping kickers, in which case it's about a million per year difference in contracts.
Someone with an understanding of the cap and more time to sort out the contract details may have a better idea if it's actually plausible.
It was a bit embellished in terms of how quickly he'd do it, but he traded Jonas Enroth because he was winning and brought in Anders Lindback who was statistically the worst goalie in the league at the time. He then traded Michal Neuvirth because he was playing too well, and brought in Matthew Hackett who was basically a career minor leaguer. When Lindback and Hackett weren't quite playing badly enough, he gutted the squad around them. He traded Torrey Mitchell and Brian Flynn for career minor leaguers and late round picks.
Let's see if they adopt the Tim Murray Sabres' tank season philosophy of trading a player who's had a good game before the final whistle has even blown.
They should just hire Nate Hackett as the new HC and get it over with. I mean, if you’re just going to sit back and watch it burn you might as well douse it in gasoline first, right?
Love the block, but hope he stops the taunting (pointing at the CB afterwards) before he gets a reputation and the refs start giving him extra scrutiny.
Speaking of, is it me or is the "come to my physics office hours" a bit of a disconnect with that return? I suppose one can teach and own/run a company, but ultimately, if I'm being honest, something deep inside of me just screams... wtf?!?!
Like so many posts that have preceded it, the math is provided because it "supports" a confirmation bias, not because there is anything fantastically meaningful underpinning it... do you think if Coleman's ridiculous "extrapolated 40 time" was 4.49 he would have posted it?
Did this thread really spend 3 pages arguing about whether an athlete that expended a bunch of energy getting downfield and breaking a tackle before stumbling was then less efficient at “running a 40” than he would have been had he not spent a bunch of energy and was fresh out of the blocks?!?! 🤔🤦♂️ Math may demonstrate his slower speed on the field in that exact moment, but it apparently doesn’t involve an offset that factors in common sense.
