Reuben Droughns

[User Manuel]

I wouldn't mind dealing a mid-round draft pick for Droughns. He might excel behind our new line and would be an intersting alternative to Rhodes, Etc.

Thoughts?

Nah, I don't want him in Buffalo.

Re: Reuben Droughns

With the signing of Lewis, he is probably going to be cut by next Wednesday, when he has a $3.5M roster bonus due. Just wait a little and you can have him without a trade.

Droughns had a bit of a down year last year, but part of that might have been due to Cleveland's general ineptitude on offense. He is probably worth a look, but Buffalo should bring in someone else to compete as well if they look at him.

What exactly has he done since his 1 good year?

Had at least one DUI?

He had back-to-back 1200+ yard seasons before suffering a down year last year. He is a good receiver as well, catching almost 100 passes in the last 3 years. He is only 28 years old.

Cleveland's offense was pretty poor last year, and Droughns suffered from that. He also suffered a shoulder injury early in the season that nagged him, and later on he suffered a sprained foot.

The guy is a pretty good player. Granted, I wouldn't build your franchise around him but he has been a productive back and would probably come cheaper than some of the other options. You could sign him to replace McGahee, then bring in another back or draft one high.

I think he would be a pretty good fit myself.

Yes, he has had some off-field issues. He also had a domestic assault charge that was later dropped because of lack of evidence.

That is the downside. The upside is he has been very productive.

Even better. I don't know if I would want to put everything on him but a Droughns/ Lynch or Bush rotation would be intriguing.

He'd be a good fit with the new OL.......

KEEP AN EYE ON CLEVELAND: What the Browns do at running back now that they've signed Jamal Lewis bears watching. There's speculation that Reuben Droughns could be cut and if so he's likely an option the Bills would consider. However, cutting Droughns would pretty much reveal to every team in the league that the Browns plan on taking Adrian Peterson with the 3rd overall pick in the draft. I'm not sure they want to play their hand like that so Droughns may remain with Cleveland until after the draft. ---

This bum has had multiple chances to showcase his lack of talent and has failed everytime - no thanks.
