      I have zero interest in OBJ coming back, with the exception of how mad it would make Baker Bros on here. 

      That would be entertaining. ?

            well there really is not a whole lot going on at the moment. unless you want to do a mock draft ? so calm down, as there really was not another thread to put that at. So if you would like to come up with a different thread for that sort of thing, Please by all means  do it.

              I'm just waiting for free agency to start. I don't imagine the Browns being super aggressive but I think they will look for o-line and linebacker. Would like them to get a deal done with Flacco.

                A RUMOR DOES NOT CHANGE THE SALARY CAP

                Today is March 8th and Free Agency starts Wednesday March 13th; but FA contracts/negotiations and discussions with teams can begin on Monday, March 11th.  I was hoping we'd have more than 1 veteran with a gigantic contract agree to defer some of their money received to another calendar year like Denzel Ward did. None of them will go broke doing so.  Right now there isn't any spending money to compete in free agency with unless some of the players step up here at the last minute.   

                Berry did an incredible job last off season.  However, good draft drafting at rookie salary cap restrictions for 5 year contracts can sure get you a healthier salary cap.  For example, the difference between drafting Watson and being the 2nd team to pay him for the projections off of his back to back Pro Bowls and playoff appearances.  It's time for Berry to hit more home runs like JOK in the draft. Long story short, it needs to be a balanced approach between good drafting and good use of free agency.    1 year contracts don't build continuity because they are very expensive band aids that only help for a short period. It was tough typing that after the fun FA brought us last year until I remind myself how many of those guys have contracts that already expired here. This draft for the Browns doesn't begin until the back 3rd of round 2.  They gotta nail pick #54.  

                This is just overcaffeinated nerves thinking out loud; and that kind of noise pollution might get me arrested for disturbing the piece...

                    Thanks Dutch!  Looks like the good news leaked about 2 hours after my post this morning.  We need more because the competition heats up Monday.  Here's what I just Googled up:

                    The team made one move Friday, restructuring offensive tackle Jedrick Wills' contract, according to NFL Media. The team converted $10.44 million of Wills' $14.175 million fifth-year option to a restructure bonus, according Cleveland.com, which saves that much on the cap.10 hours ago

                      Not intended to high jack team cap space topic. But stumbled across a interesting list of 2023 NFL Coaches contracts/ranking $$..

                      Where does 2 time coach of the year land on list?

                      Top 10 highest-paid NFL coaches 2023

                      COACH TEAM ANNUAL SALARY
                      1. Bill Belichick New England Patriots $20 million     Not coaching in 2024
                      2. Sean Payton Denver Broncos $18 million
                      3. Pete Carroll Seattle Seahawks $15 million     Not coaching in 2024
                      4. Sean McVay Los Angeles Rams $15 million
                      5. Mike Tomlin Pittsburgh Steelers $12.5 million
                      6. Andy Reid Kansas City Chiefs $12 million
                      7. John Hargbaugh Baltimore Ravens $12 million
                      8. Kyle Shanahan San Francisco 49ers $10 million
                      9. Josh McDaniels Las Vegas Raiders $10 million     Not coaching in 2024
                      10. Mike Vrabel Tennessee Titans $9.5 million    Not coaching in 2024

                      Who are the lowest paid NFL coaches 2023?

                      COACH TEAM SALARY
                      Matt LaFleur Green Bay Packers $5 million
                      Robert Saleh New York Jets $5 million
                      Zac Taylor Cincinnati Bengals $4.5 million
                      Mike McCarthy Dallas Cowboys $4 million
                      Kevin Stefanski Cleveland Browns $3.5 million   last on HC list

                      The Cleveland Browns brought in HC Kevin Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry to work together as a collaborative unit in 2020. It is important to note that Stefanski was hired first then joined the search that ended up with Berry as the general manager.

                      Despite that, Berry does not report to Stefanski. Despite their titles, Stefanski does not report to Berry.

                      Both head coach and GM report directly to the ownership group led by Jimmy Haslam.

                      Kevin Stefanski's 4 season record is 37-30 .552% with a 1-2 playoff record.  5 year contract expires January of 2025

                          Mike McCarthy Dallas Cowboys $4 million
                          Kevin Stefanski Cleveland Browns $3.5 million   last on HC list

                          The Cleveland Browns brought in HC Kevin Stefanski and GM Andrew Berry to work together as a collaborative unit in 2020. It is important to note that Stefanski was hired first then joined the search that ended up with Berry as the general manager.

                          Despite that, Berry does not report to Stefanski. Despite their titles, Stefanski does not report to Berry.

                          Both head coach and GM report directly to the ownership group led by Jimmy Haslam.

                          Kevin Stefanski's 4 season record is 37-30 .552% with a 1-2 playoff record.  5 year contract expires January of 2025 

                          The interesting thing here is 2 of the 3 lowest paid Head Coaches are employed by the teams in Ohio - that have drastically improved their frequency of making the playoffs fwiw.

                          That will probably change.  I think Taylor is on his first contract as well.  Both will probably get in the 6-8 mil range.  If I was Haslam I would extend him 3 years now.  That gives Stefanski 4 years of security.  After that, wait and see, looking to keep giving 3 years deals going in to the 4th season if warranted.

                          If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                            I think so too!
