you forgot the best part of that quote.  That was money they've paid for them to leave. 
"For all the civic slurs, for all the unsavory things said of the Philadelphia fans, also say this: They could teach loyalty to a dog. Their capacity for pain is without limit." -Bill Lyons

Sources: Browns nearly traded with 49ers for Jim Harbaugh

Posted by Mike Florio on February 21, 2014, 4:28 PM EST

The Browns' unpredictable head-coaching search nearly finished with what would have been the most unpredictable outcome of any head-coaching search since Jon Gruden was traded from the Raiders to the Buccaneers a dozen years ago.

Per multiple league sources, the Cleveland Browns nearly pulled off a trade with the 49ers for the rights to coach Jim Harbaugh. A deal that would have sent multiple draft picks to San Francisco was in place between the teams.  But Harbaugh ultimately decided not to leave the 49ers. The 49ers could not immediately be reached for comment.  Efforts to contact the 49ers continue.

The Browns declined to comment specifically on whether an effort was made to acquire Jim Harbaugh.  The Browns characterized the search as thorough, and the Browns acknowledged that many options were considered.  The Browns emphasized that the team is excited about its new coach Mike Pettine.

LaCanfora says Harbaugh and the front office are feuding and it may reach a point that he or the GM has to go

Man, how lucky are the 49ers that Joe Banner's available?

The man. The myth. The legend.

Clowney just ran an unofficial 4.47.

Holy shtein.

And Aaron Donald laid down a 4.65....wow...and his 10yd split was close to Clowney's.

It looks like Mayock's time was a bit generous.  They showed a 4.5 guy superimposed over Clowney's and JDC was a shade short.

Still... low 4.5's = insane.

The NFLs first year of a salary cap was at $34 million. Now 20 years later it is about $100 million more.

Ironic. Maybe he'll walk in and see Jonathan Martin is his roommate.
