Former NFL Star Dez Bryant's Wild Plan for Browns Signing QB Eli Manning Has Social Media Weighing In
01/03/2020 06:43 pm EST
The Plan
Along with signing Manning, Bryant wants the Browns to hire Robert Saleh to be the head coach and have the team run the same offense as the 49ers. Based on how the 49ers have looked this year, it wouldn't be a bad move because they finished the year with a 13-3 record and have a chance to win the Super Bowl.
Eli and OBJ Reunion
One member of the Browns who would love to see Manning is Odell Beckham Jr. The Giants traded Beckham to the Browns last year and he did not have a great first season in Cleveland, catching 74 passes for 1,035 yards and four touchdowns. Manning loved throwing to Beckham and it wouldn't change in Cleveland.
Martellus Bennett weighs in
Former NFL tight end Martellus Bennett is confident that Manning can't run an offense similar to the 49ers. San Francisco is more run-oriented than what Manning is used to, and while the quarterback isn't required to run, having an agile signal-caller is beneficial. Manning has never been known for his running abilities, so it's unlikely he won't be running an offense like that anytime soon.
Teddy Bridgewater Instead?
One fan thinks a better option for the Browns is to sign Teddy Bridgewater. And that's more likely of an option because when Drew Brees missed five games, the Saints didn't blink as they won all five with Bridgewater under center. However, it's likely the Saints re-sign him because good backup QBs are hard to find.
Dez Bryant, Browns Next GM
This fan thinks because of the plan Bryant revealed, he should be the team's new general manager. That will never happen and the fan was obviously being sarcastic. However, based on the history of the Browns, getting Bryant to be the GM probably wouldn't be a bad move.
Message for Bryant
This fan had a message for Bryant. It's clear Bryant's plan did not sit well with the Twitter user not because he doesn't like the Browns, but Bryant has no ties with the organization as he spent his entire career with the Cowboys. But with Bryant no longer in the league, he's going to share his thoughts on different teams.
The Biggest Problem
Quarterback play isn't the biggest issue with the Browns. This fan points out that offensive line was one of the reasons the team finished 6-10. That's true as Baker Mayfield didn't have time to throw consistently which led to the offense struggling. So the Brows will likely address the offensive line before any other position this offseason.
