I followed Hurst at SC and he seems like a guy that would stay with a good relationship with Joe and winning.... of course dollars matter., but he is the type of guy that it may not be the #1 factor.  He also has a foundation that is very special to him that could take roots here.

I could be pathetically wrong, just my thoughts.

Here you go:

Hurst has more yards and receptions this season as CJ had this past season.

Hurst has more yards and receptions this season as CJ will have this season.

Hurst will be extended after this season.


Let me know the wager. 

(We will have an injury qualifier)

Boy, I’m glad I’m not a browns fan.  The second you have a glimmer of hope, it’s just snatched.  As old fashioned as the bengals are, they are still capable of making good decisions to field a good team, over the last 20 years.  The bengals have had the fortune of being miserable at the right times, but the browns are a joke.

It is like buying premium high-octane gas for your Sentra.

But yea....we got a TE.  Neat.

I have a good feeling Burrow is going to be worth the $750 million dollar contract we have to give him soon, though.
