Yes the JimmyG chatter will definitely pick up. That would be a good option for the Browns but would JimmyG want to play for Cleveland? Yep the Browns have to money to make it happen. I don't think the Pats will tag JimmyG unless Brady retires which I suppose is unlikely. Forget about Cousins it's the Skins or 49ers.
Kizer is a project player, Jackson probably won't be coaching in Cleveland next year so pretty sure not much of a future for Kizer with the Browns. If I was Haslem I'd take away at least some of Sashi Brown's control over the roster by hiring what in effect would be a GM. The idea is to have a guy that has more experience than Brown in evaluating talent. One could argue that the Browns already have been such people on the staff. I like a lot of the things Sashi has done. The passing on Carson Wentz is explainable, a new front office etc. Passing on Watson? Well prior to the draft there was all kinds of talk that none of the QBs was 1st round talent including Watson. So I think a lot of the Cleveland media and fans are using 20-20 hindsight.
I would also tell Hue Jackson to hire an offensive coordinator or hit the road. I would be hoping that Jackson hit the road. He seems like a nice and decent person but appears to be a lousy head coach to me. I wouldn't fire him outright because I think Haslem has burned through too many people too fast and it would be a really bad look. It would discourage people even more so from coming to Cleveland.
