I agree with quite a few of you, if you are going to only pay him $1.5 to $2million a year, then give him a huge signing bonus!

He is a strong runner and has three more good years in him, if not more.

The top backs in the league are making $5mil plus a year and Hillis is definately in that $2.5 to $3million range.

Very disappointed in the organization, with the way they are handling this.

IF this is true, I would have been upset as well. But I honestly felt he was not used correctly in the first couple of games this year or not enough. I think it goes both ways. I think the Browns started this mess by not signing him to a long term deal and now possibly low-balling him. Then start the season with hardly using him, when he is the strength of the team is ridiculous. He probably figured, why play if they won’t pay or play me!

I don’t understand why everyone is just believing what Hillis said. Like a previous poster commented, there was probably a signing bonus as well. If I were the Browns, I’d let this guy walk- he’s a liability!

Peyton Hillis is a bum. If you look at his stats from the one decent year he had, he only did well against one division opponent (Baltimore) in the first game they played, in the first half of the season. After everyone knew who he was and Cleveland was committed to giving him the ball, he fell apart. He only did well when no one schemed to stop him. Here are some stats to jar your memory:

AtL–28yds
Jack– 21 carries , 48 yds
KC–35 yards
Mia– 57 yards
NO–69 yds
TB–41 yards
Pitt– 2 game total –54 yards

Like I said, he’s a bum and Cleveland knows it. Just like Tebow in Denver. The fans are just too dumb to know the difference between hype and a consistently player. Like people think Tebow is who was winning for Denver. It was their defense idiots.

Is it really necessary to post “madden curse” on every storyline just for the sole purpose of all of the 10 year olds to “like” your comment. It’s not an insightful post and its so played out since 2005. Retire it already, jeez.

Hillis is a jerk without question. That is still a ridiculously low offer by the Browns. Theyre basically telling him to get lost

tenteamparlay… idiot what kind of dancing MONKEY are you??? Hillis is a great back and deserves a decent contract. We are just now learning why he’s pissed off and sounds like he should be!

Sorry, but based upon last season and Hillis’ theatrics, the Browns can find better on the street or in the draft. Many clubs, Broncos and Texans to name just 2, have proven there are bargains on the street.

Why should they even offer him a contract in the first place? Things didn’t work out last season, instead of forcing things they should just move on.

Hillis won’t get much more from the Bengals his game isn’t much more than Benson’s…his stock plummeted when Mangini was sent packing

Peyton should thank Joe and the boys for his one good stretch where he was the only threat in in a bad offense

now he wants to translate that into big bucks…IMO he owes the Browns a year

The way Hillis played last year, the Browns would be fools to offer him anything better than this.

yeah, but what was the signing bonus?

take a 5 year 25m contract with the first three years at 1.2

Now give it an $8m signing bonus.

You’ve got 3 years at 11.6…. that’s not a bad contract for Hillis. No matter what happens in those last two years we all know he’ll never see.

In fct, if Hillis went back to DEN and they then signed Hines Ward plus a good OL and draft a DL Denver might be a factor
