Still of the (current) belief we carry 5 IDL.  Tommy was playing well at the 3tech.  

[Bob806]

I'm confused about the WR Goodwin. I'd go with the younger guys, I never understood the signing.

[gumby73]

As poor as the DT play was last season..? A 5th DT is not out of the question with Schwartz wanting a fresh rotation..

Keeping 7 WR's & 7 LB'ers seems like a high number.. But we can't seem to keep many healthy either. Exposing them to the wavier wire with a chance of not returning.. A-Walk/Taki/ now Kuntz may miss time & we don't need that early in the schedule.

Denzel Ward is now out, may need a 6th corner added instead of projected 5. 

edit-- I'm preparing to miss my 3-5 projections as normal

WR's Jakeem Grant to IR & Anthony Schwartz has been officially released

He’s a field Stretcher (needed IMO) with the group we have.  He Had some early chemistry with Watson.

I have to make a choice between Jordan Elliott and Tommy Togiai today in my sports sim league.  I've been waiting on Elliott to produce for 3 years - I think I'm cutting him.  Thoughts?

Tommy Togiai is currently the 126th ranked DT out of 126 DT's. Jordan Elliot is 125th out of 126. (Per PFF) #Browns.......per PFF..... and most people's  estimates.    A toss up I would go with the most likely to stay on the field IF  you can determine that.    Personally I like  Togiai as a slightly better player if the helps any.

Browns Day 2 Monday transactions to 53..

Trade- Browns have traded a seventh-round pick to the Chargers for veteran K Dustin Hopkins.  K Cade York sent to waivers.

Browns will be terminating the contract of OG Michael Dunn (not subject to waivers).

Browns terminated the contract of OG Wes Martin 

OL Drew Forbes is going on the reserve/non-football injury list. 

1 swap/ 1 NFI / 2 waived.. Roster down to 73/ with 20 cuts remaining before Tuesday 4PM

(edit-poss. 21 cuts remain. York's status remained 'to be waived') 

[Unsympathetic]

Dunn was cut 2 hours after Browns wished him happy birthday on twitter. So he's got that going for him

About as much chance as I have banging Kate Beckinsale.

Ah, us old farts would settle for Kate Upton of Mercedes Benz fame. She was also the blond in the MB commercial with Willem Dafoe as the devil trying to temp a young man into signing for a MB CLA 250 ("and all that goes with it"). ?
