I think they got the Franchise Tag, so, yeah.Because they are not yet free agents?

I see your points but IMO you're not holding out unless you are under contract. Oh well.

So how 'bout them Bills?
They kinda still suck. It's like Fitzmagic suddenly remembered he was a Bill halfway through last season, though some are saying his injury had more of an effect than he let on. Still, if he fails, the backup is Vince Young (who I have pretty much given up on).
The defense and offense both have good pieces, but I need more reason to think they'll compete.
Also,
A potent gerontocracy of mediocrity.

Just curious, how well do you guys think Trent Richardson will do as a rookie for the Browns?

Despite all the hype, I don't expect him to match Adrian Peterson the moment he steps on the field. Sure, he'll be good, but not THAT good.

A better question might be "Will it matter how well Trent Richardson will do as a rookie
for the Browns?" They have a good enough O-line, but since their passing game will
likely suck again, Richardson will be seeing a boatload of 8 or 9 man fronts.
Yea, eventually GM's will catch on to the fact that drafting a runningback in the top 10 is a piss poor choice.
Rent Trichardson will either be splitting time in 3 years or injured.

I'm just going to take this moment to say that the Weeden pick sucked. They should have used it on getting a decent receiver. Then let Colt McCoy lead them to a high round pick and get a QB actually worth his pick.

Weedon and Tannehill shouldn't have been 1st rounders, maybe not even 2nd rounder. But since this year's QB class absolutely sucked, their worth was inflated tremendously.

AP was a top-10 pick and it worked out.
AP and LT and their ilk don't exactly grow on trees.
Exactly. Richardson could very well be the best running back since the Browns came back, and their o-line is actually fairly good...but with nobody to stretch out the field, and with one of the three worst QB situations in the NFL, I don't see how he's going to have any space to work.

i think you get more value if you build a great o-line and get two mediocre-good running backs to share the work than go for a supposed franchise rb.

They need to get LeBron James to play TE and stretch the field for them.
I agree. There are only a small handful of really elite running backs anyway, and they don't tend to last very long.
