Oh hey...they are sorry. Lucky me
I see they will indeed retain these morons for another year..I expect nothing less than a trade down from #1 and accumulation of more future picks.
I listened to that presser yesterday and it sickened me. But I am not surprised. Don't worry, I will post a lot less in 2017 on this particular page.
Hopefully a year from now the apology letter is replaced with a, "this time I will actually seek out professionals that understand the game and are qualified to be in the spots I put them in" letter.
Enjoy winning the draft to those that like losing and think it takes 25 years to construct a team.
Dear Scott,
With the close of the 2016 season, we wanted to thank you again for all of your support and apologize for such a disappointing year.
We greatly appreciate the tremendous passion and loyalty of Browns fans, and it is a difficult season like this that shows how truly fortunate we are to have such support. We fully recognize how tough this season has been for you, and we want to let you know it has been equally hard for us. We are extremely grateful for your support and do not take it for granted.
Clearly, this season has been a painful part of our building process. You deserve the best, and you certainly deserve better than a 1-15 team. We are sorry that our results have not been better.
Immediately following last season, we communicated our commitment to bringing in strong, smart leaders with high character, who would be relentlessly driven to improve our football team and look at every resource possible. We continue to feel very good about the leaders we have in place – Coach Hue Jackson, Sashi Brown, and Paul DePodesta – and how they have approached their individual roles, while working extremely well together, all with the sole interest of creating a consistent winning football team for you, the fans. While we obviously did not accomplish that this season, our confidence in our leadership’s character, attitude, approach and ability remains strong as we faced this year’s challenges.
We understand the critical nature of this upcoming offseason as we continue to improve our roster. Our personnel group has positioned us very well to add quality players through multiple high draft picks while maintaining salary cap flexibility and the ability to sign and retain our core nucleus of players.
We remain committed and determined to rewarding you with the consistent winning team you deserve. We will continue to do all we can to reach that goal.
Thank you for your support.
Dee and Jimmy Haslam
