Like everyone else in Cleveland now, access is obviously more restricted for them, but I do think they are able to gather and post information quicker and with more freedom than the Plain-Dealer writers. The point about the salaries was all Barry at the OBR, but he is absolutely right. It would be hard for any player to justify that kind of cap hit, let alone someone as talented, but unaccomplished, as Cutler. @Midnight Writer,

I think I will subscribe to Orange and Brown Report. But why do those guys know more than The Plain Dealer -- or are they just able to post the first rumors faster? Again, I don't like the dismantling mode of the Nomangenius-Koko Regime. Taking great players who were undercoached and shuttling them out of town is stupid. Plus, you bring up a good point about the salaries. Even Randy Lerner can't afford to lose as much as $10 mil. Jrod, You’ve convinced me. I think I will subscribe to Orange and Brown Report.
