  • Interesting numbers but if Wills don't get his shit togedda!... Numbers ain't gonna matta!.. Only to say the kid is a guard so.. No fear there right? I'm really intrigued by Dawand Jones... He has the potential to be special.. But.. Lets not get ahead of ourselves right? I would like to see Berry start hitting on some of these picks.. The Merry-Go-Round gets tiresome...

  • These type of Camp sudden moves always spark my interest. (Waived 1 hour after practice) And I'll keep my dollar, that Berry won't make a move until mid August 😉 

    We have one open roster spot !

    CB Thakarius 'BoPete' Keyes was waived with injury designation for a finger injury.. Browns never reported a injured finger/nor did Keyes miss any practice time.

    updates to chart are in my post on page 1.

    edit- Teams make 1 cut after final preseason game--updated FA's list https://overthecap.com/free-agency  Browns have 16M in cap space

    #Browns worked out Lorenzo Burns (signed), DT Shelby Harris, Michael Joseph, Mac McCain

    Shelby Harris would be a welcomed upgrade of Elliott or Winfrey.. but for now,

    the 90th position goes to CB Lorenzo Burns to replace BoPete Keyes

    Ourlads' Profile:

    2019 Review: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about WES MARTIN: Wes Martin is already in line to start at left guard as there isn’t much competition that pre-existed and it was such a sore spot in 2018. The powerful run blocker will still have to earn his stripes in training camp however.

    Browns OL coach Bill Callahan, was in Washington's draft room to take part in taking Wes Martin in the 4th round.. Martin's got a fair chance to back-up L/R Guard

  • Browns are spoiled for choice at backup OL.  Jones, Martin, Wypler, Dunn, Hudson.. and Harris.  That's a replacement OL L-R that is at minimum competent and at most a couple of near-all-pros.  Here's hoping they're ST all-stars because I don't want to lose any of them.. and it's been a while since we've had anything other than starters.

    We better hope some of them are capable to move into starting positions in the near future, because (as you know) the Browns can't avoid salary cap hell forever. 

  • 08/04/23 Transactions

    Waived -- P Joseph Charlton, RB Nate McCrary, T Hunter Thedford

    Signed -- LB Cam Bright, TE Miller Forristall, and WR Jalen Wayne.

    Waived WR Daylen Baldwin (injury designation, tore knee tendon, if not claimed, to Browns IR) 

    CB Thomas Graham Jr. (injury designation, Ankle, if not claimed, to Browns IR)

    8/5/23 Transactions

    Signed CB Gavin Heslop and T Derrick Kelly II

    edit- Monday 8-7-23

    The #Browns are signing OLB/DE Charles Wiley, per source. Wiley spent time with the #Ravens and #Giants last season.

    Update:

    The team has made the signing official while *releasing WR Ra’Shaun Henry* to make room for Wiley.

    Roster sits at 90 players

  • Might be time for a Browns clearer Depth Chart going into PSG3 Eagles inter-squad practices 

    Latest moves

    a.) Browns place LB Jacob Phillips on IR with torn pectoral (out season)

    b.) Browns sign former Colts RB Jordan Wilkins 

    Wilkins has played in 54 games in the NFL since 2018. He averaged over 5.5 yards per carry his first two seasons, on 111 rushing attempts but has only had 13 carries the last two seasons.

    c.)  Browns waive S Bubba Bolden with injury designation (hamstring injury)

    d.) Browns sign S Nate Meadors (former Browns PS)

    At this time, only Ourlads is showing the correct personal..  Injury & personal rotation are day to day

    Update soon after Philly week

  • 10 days away from August 29th's 53 man roster cut down date for 32 teams.

    Some releases may become released has soon as this Week before the final Pre-season games.

    Cut Tracker's have started-https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-roster-cuts-tracker-team-by-team-player-moves-ahead-of-the-2023-season

    I'll hold my water on releasing a Browns 53, on hopes of some Pup's or injury clarity that may open some spots after PSG4 at KC. I'm not even counting out Berry on snooping out trade targets at this juncture before teams release them.  

    Not the paid click writers though.

  • If this had happened in February, Moore wouldn't be on this team.

    My changes with OBR's prediction are:

    Fields makes the 53 at LB because all he does is make plays and be in the right spot.

    Hickman makes the 53 at S over a 6th LB.

    Obscure player note - Sometimes, the jack of all trades guy is in fact good at none of them.

  • Sadly going to miss this KC game live due to working ?

    I've got 40'ish that feel safe..

    On the Bubble to finalize.. (any others?)

    1.) QB Mond.. Does he take a 53 spot? or waived again to PS? (teams have the option to carry only 2)

    2.) RB Felton or Wilkins or FA?

    3.) WR Grant vs. Darden vs. Watkins.. goodbye Schwartz !

    4.) C Keep Nick Harris, while Wypler swings to G vs Dunn.. Does Forbes move to short term IR? Wes Martin to PS?

    5.) DT Elliott vs Hurst vs Togiai

    6.) LB Kunaszyk vs. Mike Adams OLB Fields vs Diabate

    7.) CB Mike Ford vs AJ Green

    8.) S Hickman vs. Bell

    9.) DE- Rumors say Wright gets on 53, while M.Thomas gets buried on a injury list? Sam Kamara might be a watch at KC?  

    Going to assume WR's Michael Woods/M.Goodwin..DE's Thomas-Wright.. LB Taki.. TE H. Bryant & G Drew Forbes see's some type of injury list NFI/PUP/IR 

    Score some points & get after KC Defense !

    AJ Green, Diabate make the team. Hopefully Watkins. Toigai is on the bubble but playing his best football

    i think we use the waiver wire for RB.

    Id like us to stash Charlie Thomas LB on the practice squad.

    I don’t have a clue on the offensive line but I bet some teams are watching our cuts.  Same with WR someone will give Schwartz a shot  

  • It's great to see Berea making decisions based on who's the best player rather than "we want 6 LB" etc.

    S Hickman vs LB Fields vs LB Adams vs LB Diabate -- Much roster construction assumes an extra LB would be the take for ST.. but Hickman is big enough to do similar work in ST and is what you want at the back of the S group.

    And Goodwin's injury has to give Grant the edge.. can't roster someone who will just be IR in 2 weeks.

    As for WR Watkins.. He definitely won't get through the waiver wire so likely makes it.

    QB Mond.. likely does the waiver wire dance all season because QB3 doesn't have to be on 53

  • The Browns have 2 injury options...

     1.) Players placed on injured reserve before the roster cut-down at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, he will be out for the season

    2.) Players have to make the initial 53-man roster than go on IR to be eligible to return from the list during season.

    Players of #1 concern would now include?

    12 Woods II, Michael NFI
    19 GOODWIN, MARQUISE NFI
    88 Bryant, Harrison 20/4
    51 Kunaszyk, Jordan SF22
    9 GRANT SR., JAKEEM U/Chi

    Updates to watch for Sunday & Monday.. Grant (Patella) & Kunaszyk (knee) have MRI's today

  • Damn it.. Kunaszyk could be out a while https://www.si.com/nfl/browns/news/browns-linebacker-to-miss-time-with-knee-injury

    WR Ant Schwartz is a easy release.. The roster questions really begin, when ya try to keyhole in--  Elliott- AJ Green-D'Anthony Bell- Hickman or Moe DiaBate into 2-3 spots..

    Grant's loss may turn into Watkins or Darden's chance ? Grant Injury Update: WR Jakeem Grant Sr. out for season with ruptured patellar tendon.

    Debate may fill Kunaszyk loss? But Berry rarely keeps 5-6 LB'ers.. Tony Fields is making this roster !

    edit- getting the feeling it's either D'Ant Bell or Hickman they try to squeeze to PS? 

  • Browns add RB Pierre Strong Jr. From the Pats for Tyrone Wheatley Jr. 
     

    Shifty guy good pass catching ability.  I think Felton is gone now.
