Fatman Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 The somewhat credible profootballtalk.com had this Tuesday morning: WINSLOW WASHED UP? There are rumors floating around the league that Browns tight end Kellen Winslow might never completely become the player he was expected to be due that broken leg he suffered playing special teams early in the 2004 regular season. Even if he eventually reaches his potential, word is that the injury might last longer than originally feared, jeopardizing his ability to contribute in 2005. Winslow's season-ending injury caused shock waves through the agent community, because it prevented him from cashing in on an otherwise no-brainer incentive payment based on the achievement of minimum playing time in his rookie season. His agents (the Postons) erred by dropping the 30 percent threshold in 2005 only; many rookie deals call for the payment to be made if the number is achieved in any one of multiple seasons. ___ Doesn't cite a source, but something to think about as we enter the summer.

budlitebrad Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 "They're out there to kill you, so I'm out there to kill them. We don't care about anybody but this U. They're going after my legs. I'm going to come right back at them. I'm a f'n soldier." I guess he was right about them going after his legs. But seriously, I hope he recovers fully so we can all see what he can really do.

Keep up the good work, JJ! 774524[/snapback] You have an excellent sense of humor. I guess we're not allowed to laugh at punk a$$ed kid like Winslow. I guess I should've found a second opinion from another doctor on how he may recover from this injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swashbucklers Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Has anyone said that this kid is an f'in soldier? Does anyone remember him saying that? I think it was after a game when he was a player for the University of Miami or something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I'm just happy the Lions traded down to allow Cleveland to get him while get still got Roy Williams and it also helped us land Kevin Jones. So Winlsow has been very good to Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
