  • Browns Flopping
    Browns Flopping By: Anthony Gedeon There has been a lot of buzz around the Cleveland Browns for the 2019 NFL season and a lot of people had high hopes for the team. However, as the season has gone on, the team and its fans are starting to lose hope in ever being good. The Browns are sitting at 4-6 currently in the season and people have a whole bunch of different opinions on what the Browns should do to turn it around. Freddie Kitchens, the rookie head coach of the Browns, is under heat as being one of the problems with the Browns. Most people were happy with the decision to make Kitchens the head coach, but as the year goes on many want to have him fired. This would just add to the Head Coach problems that Cleveland has been suffering from for years. Owen Reese, a die hard Browns fan calls him, “Flapjack Freddie” because “Freddie is a good guy, I just don’t think he is fit for the head coach position.” Reese is obviously not the only one to voice his opinion either, there is even a hashtag “#firefreddie” movement started on Twitter by an account named “Browns Country” that reports on all the Browns games and news. Although people are saying that Freddie is the main problem, others are saying that it is the team itself and the players are not playing well. The Browns are the most penalized team in the NFL with 75 penalties adding up to 631 lost yards so far in the season.

  • Top NFL Free Agents 2017
    NFL OFFSEASON A Look Back at The PREVIEW 2016 Offseason 2017 New Contracts for Members of Falcons Core Top NFL Free Agents 2017 680 The Fan’s Carlos Medina aka “Front Office Los” breaks down all 32 NFL teams with in-depth analysis and research covering the 2017 offseason. Cam & Carolina Crash Back to Earth Follow Carlos Medina on Twitter @frontofficelos THE 2017 OFFSEASON Here is Where Championships are Built The Chance to Change Your Franchise Welcome to the 2017 NFL Offseason. This is the point where every NFL team has the chance to significantly alter their upcoming season with shrewd moves in both free agency and the draft. Consider what some of the best team in 2016 were able to accomplish during this point in the season last year: The Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots traded a fourth round pick to the Chicago Bears in exchange for tight end Martellus Bennett and a sixth round draft choice. Bennett would serve as the important #2 tight end in New England and the eventual starter with the injury to Rob Gronkowski. The Atlanta Falcons signed Cleveland Browns center Alex Mack to a contract that made him one of the highest paid centers in the NFL. Mack rewarded the Falcons with an All-Pro season in which he was the perfect piece in creating a solid offensive line. The team also added receiver Mohamed Sanu from Cincinnati who ended up catching 59 passes and four touchdowns. The Oakland Raiders gave a one year deal to receiver Michael Crabtree as he attempted to return from injury.
