Kenny Wright Clearly Needs to Go

by Chris Pokorny on Apr 6, 2008 10:24 AM EDT in General News

As far as Kenny Wright's future with the Cleveland Browns goes?

I'd say "see ya".

I saw no reason why we should've kept Wright after last season due to the minimal playing time he received and the lack of impact he had on the defensive side of the ball. Our reward for keeping him is being able to see the headline "Browns CB K. Wright Arrested" across all of the mainstream media headlines across the nation. Among Wright's issues as he was down in the Texas Police Department parking lot:

-He caused a lot of ruckus, drawing police to him in the first place.
-He had a bag full of marijuana in his car.
-He fled on foot, resisting arrest.

Excuse me for the comment, but what a total douche. My view on this matter might be slightly hypocritical in the sense that I would not want to outright cut a player like Eric Wright, Sean Jones, or Kamerion Wimbley if they had been in this situation. I would be furious at the stupidity by one of the luckier people in the United States (someone who makes it to the NFL), but I'd give them a second shot on a short leash.

K. Wright never had an impact last season, and as far as I'm concerned, he cost himself the opportunity of competing for a job this season. Bringing in Ty Law or drafting a cornerback in the fourth-round (or later) would probably earn us a better buy anyway. After all -- Brandon McDonald, a fifth-rounder from last season, is already light years further than K. Wright in my opinion (now it's on and off the field, too).

Now then, in other news, you and three of your friends can win a tour at Cleveland Browns Stadium by Browns QB Brady Quinn:

During the Ultimate Draft Day Party hosted by the Browns and Donatos on April 26, Brady [Quinn] will take one winner and three of his or her friends on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Cleveland Browns Stadium and locker rooms. Brady will also watch part of the draft telecast with the winners. The winner will also receive four seats at the Browns VIP draft day brunch with other Cleveland Browns alum, autographed Browns memorabilia, suite tickets to a Browns 2008 preseason game and a $100 Donatos Pizza gift card. Interested customers can register to win at ClevelandBrowns.com, now through April 20, 2008. The winner will be selected and notified April 21.

Let me know if you apply; I'd be curious to see if one of my reader's wins!

You do realize that Kenny Wright is not a cornerback, don't you?

Of course not.

Re: Kenny Wright Clearly Needs to Go

Kenny is not a CB as stated in the article. Therefore, if Cleveland lets them go, there's no need to look at Ty Law (another corner) or draft another corner.

I know Eric and Kenny share the same last name, but come on guys, it's not that hard to keep players straight.

Re: Kenny Wright Clearly Needs to Go

Well Captain Condescending, according to the Browns official site, he mostly played corner in the nickel or dime last year.

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.

Re: Kenny Wright Clearly Needs to Go

Kenny Wright is a cornerback.

I'm just glad it wasn't Eric Wright. At first glance on the ESPN headline I was a little worried.

Phil Dawson burgers on the house!!

Re: Kenny Wright Clearly Needs to Go

I, too, have to wonder two things...

Did he (heythere) perhaps think it was Jason Wright, the running back?
Why would he be so arrogant in his demeanor without doing research first?

Any time I find a mistake in some report, I double-check it with another source just to be sure I'm not the one that'll come off looking like the lone soul on an island.
