Popular Post JustInFudge Posted August 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2019 HUGE pick up for the Texans. Duke will help Watson out a ton. He such a nice little bail out option. That ****tard Mayfield owes a lot of his success his rookie season to just dumping sh*t off to Johnson and let him do his thing. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfield Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Lol. The Browns were playing hard ball with him and said they would never trade him. Good for Duke. He deserves a bigger role than the one he was going to have in Cleveland. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Kinda saw this coming after they cut Foreman, but hoped it would hold out until after fantasy drafts. Better fit for the offense, and a very undervalued player by Dorsey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty-seven catches last year, good for third on the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindOverMatter Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Duke will be a good fit for the Texans, now they just need some Oline help unless they are trying to give Watson the David Carr treatment. Now the fans can chant "Nukkkk" for Hopkins, "Duuuuuke" for Johnson and "Bluuueeee" for Alfred Blue, could make some fun drinking games out of it. Kinda jealous, tbh.

One of the tweets says it is a 4th that could become a 3rd. I don't think that is the kind of conditional the Jets gave up for Alex Lewis.

Beerfish Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 If you watched hard knocks with the browns you could see issues there. Johnson was hurt and was excused and coaches were asking why he could not be there for an info, not practice session. Dumbass hugh jackson took that oppo to bitch slap his coaches and say he was the boss and he was excusing Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Cowbell Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I thought for sure he was going to be on the Browns until Hunt comes off suspension. I would bet news comes out soon that Hunt is getting a reduction in games he has to sit out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet news comes out soon that Hunt is getting a reduction in games he has to sit out Perhaps. More likely, I think they're OK with the backs they have sitting behind Chubb prior to Hunt's return. It's also hard to pass up on a 4th (possible 3rd) rounder for a disgruntled RB whose contract had $11.45M left on it over the next 3 seasons. They could certainly also sign another back or 2 once teams start cutting guys. Guys like T.J. Yeldon, Doug Martin, Spencer Ware, Devontae Booker, Jacquizz Rodgers, Kenneth Dixon are candidates to be cut loose. And guys like LeGarrette Blount, Jay Ajayi, Chris Ivory and Alex Collins are still free agents. None are any good, but they'll do as a backup until Hunt returns.

More Cowbell Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I can see someone already on the team but Duke knows the playbook and has a connection with Mayfield from last season. A new guy has to get up to speed and they need to get him in camp now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is gone. There will be cuts like that all over the league. I dont think Dorsey is very worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetDawg Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Has to be active for 10 games - means that the compensation is almost surely a 3rd round pick. That's a great return for a backup RB. Yes, he fills a need and is a very good 3rd down back, but he's backup at a position that the league doesn't value very highly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetstream23 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I think Houston got rid of Lamar Miller's primary backup, Donta Foreman. This is a solid pickup for Houston.....and even if it doesn't appreciate to a 3rd, getting a 4th is very good for a Cleveland team that has Nick Chubb, Dontrell Hillard and will get Kareem Hunt back after Week 8. This looks like a smart move by Dorsey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
