Across The Field
Oaky Afterbirth
I don't think they were getting rid of key guys, per se, they just weren't doing what they should've to bring in better ones. Alex Mack was gone regardless, however they also let Mitchell Schwartz leave without even trying to bring him back and he was crucial. None were as bad as just flat out not trying to resign McCown. Jackson loved him and wanted him back badly but the FO wouldn't do it.I'm not that guy. I thought Hue got a raw deal in OAK and was a good hire in CLE.
What HC doesn't want more say in personnel?...but I find it hard to believe a GM would bring in a new HC and get rid of players that he wants to keep.
All in all, he finally has a GM who gets it and is aggressive. Hue has all the pieces he needs to get this team to at least contention this year. 5-11 or worse, he's definitely gone. 6-10 maybe even. 7-9, we'll see.
