  • Browns re-signed OL Michael Dunn and DT Shelby Harris. 

    Browns pretty much bringing everyone back on DLine from last year but Jordan Elliot, who signed with San Francisco.

    Depth like this is invaluable.  When Bitonio couldn't suit up for the SF game - Dunn filled in and there wasn't any noticeable drop off in performance...

    Good.  I don’t think he has a lot of tread left on those tires and 700 more carries than a guy like Josh Jacobs who got essentially a one year deal with team options later.

    Is it me, or are the Stealers having a better FA than we are? Wilson is a clear upgrade over Pickett, and they signed Patrick Queen for 3yr/41 million. Could we have afforded that?

    LB is a position group that this front office does not like spending money on.

    It will be interesting to see how they deal with JOK as he nears free agency.

    If we lose JOK because we extended a guy like Delpit I’ll be upset.

    I would give JOK 3yr 35M rather than overpay for Queen

    I mean, one thing about not being super active in FA is the result of having a good team. The Steelers objectively had (have) more needs than Cleveland does. They were in the back half of the league in both total offense and defense, for example. They also came into FA with a lot more cap room than Cleveland. Re-signing guys like Hurst to keep the best defensive unit somewhat together is great.

    It's almost like drafting late in the first round- may not get the exciting guy but it almost always means the team was good the year before.

    All 32 teams end up making these types of moves, it depends on what cycle they're in.

    Look at the Ratbirds- let Gus Edwards walk, pick up D Henry. 

    Browns let Walker & Takitaki go. Probably didn't want to.

    The business side & salary cap makes these GMs earn their money.

  • Bobby Wagner signed a 1 year contract with the Commanders with about 6 million. Anyone know any details bout Jordan Hicks' contract yet? Bobby Wagner has always been quality linebacker as far as I can remember.

  • Derrick Henry to the Ravens

    Why should the Browns fear ole Derrick? We only passed him over twice.

    Joe didn't want to hurt any Starting Quarterbacks feelings  😉   

  • Raiders signed TE Harrison Bryant. C Nick Harris to the Seahawks. Bryant was alright but not losing much with those two.

    Browns sign TE/fullback Giovanni Ricci and Tony Brown - a couple of special teamers. 

    Browns re-signed P Bojorquez for two years - that's a good move. 

    Browns sign backup OT Hakeem Adeniji from Cincy for some o-line depth.

    Somehow the Browns managed with Nick Chubb. 

    And he did nothing vs the Browns when he came to Cleveland last fall.

  • Jefferson is a solid pass rusher. Six sacks last year. D-line is looking stacked.

     Another 3 tech.  The DL vision is starting to come together.  Clearly they want a bit more from the interior rotation after some late season gassing.  Also gives the ability to spell Dalvin a bit more on passing downs this season, who can play all over the front.    Ika has has his time to shine soon as that shade.  I need some run stops from him, even with some limited minutes.  

    Browns sign TE/fullback Giovanni Ricci and Tony Brown - a couple of special teamers. 

     Not enough attention being given to this.   One of these guys will be a quasi/spot starter.  Nick Harris and Harrison Bryant have been the one's pulling upback duty for the last couple seasons in various offensive packages.   Now you have a body in there actually more suited to play some lead without giving too many personnel tips and actually making that position more functional beyond just purely situational.

    41M especially with the way it's structured isnt a overpay for Queen. Raven fans want to argue he simply benefitted from Smith but there are plenty that would argue the opposite. He's still incredibly young. 

    I also agree on Jok. Better off paying your own, especially when they deserve the bag.

    He doesn't. He's not the same hb he was and because of some big contracts on their roster they didn't have much choice. He will be fine but it's not some monster signing for them.
