"However, the agreement to sign Hyde does not eliminate Saquon Barkley from the Browns' draft board, according to a league source familiar with the team's thinking. The Browns are keeping their options open, and that means Barkley remains part of the discussion with either of their first-round draft picks.
"Nobody is ruled out," the source said of the way the Browns view the draft board."

Dude, he's gone. He can't hurt you anymore. Not sure why you have such disdain for a guy who did nothing but work his ass off while he was here and played hard game after game.

That the Browns are doing what every other team is doing in not showing their hand and maintaining leverage is only a surprise for someone looking to hate a guy on a guy for no reason. Get over it. You think Lynch and Shanahan will admit to knocking any player down their board or removing them when asked? Hell no.

Yeah it's over. They have Hyde and Duke Johnson while Tyrod is on a 1 year deal they're taking a qb at 1.

This. I think its more likely now that they trade down from #4 with a team like Buffalo. As long as a team believes they are willing to stand pat and draft Barkley, the Browns can demand the farm for that pick.

Poor Carlos Hyde. He goes to Cleveland to play behind the best OT of this generation and now the guy retires.

Hyde was drafted to fit in Bo Harbaugh's offense, and would have been a perfect fit there. He wasn't bad when healthy, as witnessed by his two near 1,000 yard seasons. He just wasn't the best fit for Shanahan's offense.

The image I will remember is when he fought to support BeatHard after that cheap hit. A key starter fighting to protect a rookie destined to be only a backup says a lot about the character and fire of the man. You gotta love that.
