I guess it worked in Cleveland when the Cavs hired Lue.

I'll bet Miles and Moos are aware that Lue is looking for a job

The first three names I saw thrown out there for the Browns were Lincoln Riley, Mike McCarthy and Jim Harbaugh.

I don't think Jim Harbaugh is done coaching in the NFL, but I don't think the time he's leaving is now, and certainly not to go coach the Browns.

McCarthy makes some sense, the situation in Green Bay feels stale, and maybe they just need a new voice there.  I kind of think it's the same in Pittsburgh, where they have a great coach, but the message is stale.  All parties involved there could benefit from Tomlin going to Green Bay, and McCarthy coming home to Pittsburgh.  Absent that, I still think McCarthy would take a year off over coaching the Browns.

If Riley wants it, that makes a lot of sense.  Then again, he might not want it.  I don't get it, if you can coach in the NFL, I would do it every day, just do be done recruiting, and kissing the ass of 17 year olds for 2 years on the recruiting trail, just to have them transfer the second you stop kissing their ass.  But Oklahoma is one of those special jobs that doesn't come around all the time.

with a little luck vs the Longhorns a guy can coach in Norman for 20 years or as long as he'd like

not many last 5 years in the NFL, 10 is really a good run

I honestly don't think Jim is leaving. Not any time soon anyway. And not for the Browns. Pretty sure his family would not want him playing his brother twice every year in the division. Their parents talked about how much they hated when they played each other the two times the 49ers and Ravens played in Jim's 4 years as an NFL head coach. Not sure they want that every single year.
The NFL is all about having a QB. If he was ever going to leave for an NFL job, I think it was when the Colts job came open. Reuniting with Andrew Luck? That's a no brainer. Harbaugh would've turned that team around year 1.
As for Lincoln Riley- I wouldn't take the Browns job unless they gave me complete control. If he was ever going to go to a job with a perfect QB fit- that's it. He knows Baker better than anyone.

Lions trade WR Golden Tate to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 3rd round pick.

Not sure I like it. On one hand yeah, it's nice to get a 3rd rd pick and it's his last year in his deal. And I know it's not like the Lions are serious contenders for the NFC- but why make a conference foe in the Eagles better? Tate can still play, and this just gives Philly another weapon in their arsenal. Philly just won the Super Bowl. They've started slow, but adding Tate to their offense could really give Wentz the confidence he needs to get back to playing to his 2017 level pre-injury. I don't love it. Trade him to the AFC.

Before Pittsburgh started winning Super Bowls and NE got lucky with Brady/Belichick,the Browns were a destination.Cleveland was always at the top of attendance for '50s,'60s,'70s,80s,.Seriously what was the Patriots tradition?Pittsburgh at least had similar fans but Boston - their football fans didn't show until they won.But the Vulture FVcks in No Fun League allowed its lackie Art to bankrupt/mismanage the Franchise then up and leave with it.Then they tax my Beer,Whiskey,cigars,cigs so some Billionaire can have some cushy digs to rest wealthy self on my dime.Browns fans deserve better and are/were not opining for Jimmy

Wait, you just realized this now? It was a wasted 2nd round pick the minute it was made. Tabor never lived up to the 5* recruit hype at Florida.
Not sure what the Lions cap situation is, I honestly don't pay much attention to that stuff, but they need to cut Tabor and make a trade for someone else before the trade deadline.

Ravens fans with probably the most audible cheer for an opposing team injury I've ever heard.
