Although the Browns have already agreed to sign wide receiver Kenny Britt, they’re not completely out of the race for fellow pass-catcher Terrelle Pryor, tweets Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. It still appears “unlikely” that Cleveland will re-sign Pryor, however. Mike Garafolo of NFL.com echoes this sentiment, pointing toward a future that sees Pryor depart northeast Ohio (Twitter link).
The Browns opted not to use the franchise nor the transition tag on Pryor, instead allowing him to become a free agent despite possessing gobs of cap space. While reports have indicated Pryor is looking for $12MM on the open market, it’s unclear if any club is actually willing to meet that demand — indeed, his ceiling may be in the $10MM range. So far, he’s been linked to the Steelers, Giants, 49ers, Eagles, and Titans.
As a 27-year-old who possesses size (6-foot-4, 223 pounds) and speed, Pryor is one of the most attractive free agent receivers on the market. Despite having to work with five quarterbacks in 2016, most of whom were mediocre or worse, Pryor (an ex-QB himself) piled up 77 receptions, 1,007 yards and four touchdowns on 140 targets in his first serious action as a receiver.
Per Ian rappoport Cleveland is trying to bring a football team to Ohio for the first time since 2007
I would love to see him go to the cowboys it won’t happen but him dez and Beasley would be a great receiving core
*Whispers *
Go to Carolina
I’m thinking that the Britt signing was also to bring Pryor back down to earth, and make him realize he’s not getting $12M per. I can actually see the Browns signing him at $10M per.
Absolutely, with the amount of cap space they have. Plus they’re beefing up the offensive line. It’s like Cleveland is actually trying for once lol
