Cleveland Browns Free Agents: 5 Landing Spots For Terrelle Pryor
Cleveland Browns
The Browns don’t have a choice but to bring Pryor back. What’s the receiving corps. without him? ESPN Cleveland analyst Tony Grossi just ranked him as the second best player on the team. The guy walked the street for most of the 2015 season. The Browns–who waived Pryor early in 2015–survived their own stupidity to make something out of nothing with the quarterback turned receiver.
Pryor’s said he’d come back to Cleveland if the money was right, and the front office will have no choice but to overpay the former Ohio State quarterback. Owner Jimmy Haslam has even talk about the importance of brining back the team’s own free agents. That means both Pryor and Jamie Collins must both be kept.
Cleveland let Travis Benjamin walk in free agency last year. His presence probably wouldn’t have helped the Browns win more games in 2016, but his departure speaks to the point of keeping the players you develop.
The Browns committed the time and effort into making Pryor a 1,000-yard receiver. They’d be crazy to let another team reap the rewards.
Like Tampa, Cleveland is well positioned to throw a ton of money Pryor’s way.

It was reported in October that the Browns and Pryor started talking about a new contract. But as the season lingered, Pryor’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, wisely guided his client into free agency.
It turned out to be a smart gamble.
Pryor went from a player who sat at home most of last season to becoming just the sixth player in Browns history to record 1,000 receiving yards in a season (some have done it multiple times).
It’ll be interesting to see what type of offers Pryor can command.
Although he says he wants to be in Cleveland and he wants to play for Hue, you’ve got to remember that this could be Pryor’s once-in-a-career to sign a huge contract. If another team is willing to pay him more, don’t look for him to be wearing an orange helmet next season.
