    Bring in Moss and Plaxico and Benson. Any of these players can help the Browns win September home games.

    Roll the dice and see what pans out. Moss is a future HOF er and benson is coming off two consecutive

    1000 yards rushing seasons. Plaxico, well who knows.

    Benson has averaged 3.6 ypc during his stint with bears and bengals. He is unrestricted and ain' the most

    popular guy in town at the moment. Value there.

      Tully Banta-Cain cut from Patriots

      Banta-Cain wouldn't be a bad acquisition. He brings experience and productivity, without being too far over the hill (he's 30). He's from both a winning culture (Patriots) and a losing culture (49ers).

      He's a great pass rusher, and that's something we definitely need. The only problem is that he more than likely won't be an everydown backer, and will probably only see the field in passing situations.

        Just being realistic. You seriously think the Browns can contend this year? Totally new coaching staff, new system. The rookies are going to have their heads spinning well into October without the benefit of OTAs.

        It's better to set the bar low, and be surprised when the Browns exceed it, than expect the playoffs and watch the team go in the toilet.

          Holmgren already said no guys with baggage, so forget about Moss (I assume you mean Randy) and Benson got arrested for assault- ditto. Burress has been out of the league for a few years, and is supposedly talking with the Giants, yet another baggage guy.

          Oh the Cowboys are supposedly cutting Marion Barber if you really want another RB, and I'll take an injury risk in Sidney Rice over a character risk any day.

            I agree.

            The only thing I expect out of this season on gameday is attending several winning tailgates. Anything good after that is a bonus.

            If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                Looks like we can take Quintin Mikell off the list of players we get. It looks like he has come to terms with St. Louis

                  You can toss our players like Polozo-whatever from Buffalo and Johnson from Carolina. Mickel from Philly already signed with the Rams, Weddle is expected to sign with the Jags. As far as I know Ruud is still up for grabs as is Clabo. I heard Edwards signed with Atlanta last night but those two guys from the Giants are still available. As far as WR's go all are still available and the only two that have been reported to be out of the hunt for a spot in Cleveland (as in Holmgren and Heckert won't look at them) are Owens and Jackson. Fingers crossed, hoping to hear some good FA news for the Browns before I go to work today!

                      Wasn't this guy a Star Wars character? If not, with a name like that, he should have been. (Perhaps one of the bounty hunters)

                        Manny Lawson is known as a 3-4 pass rush LB and Tim Hightower is a big powerback which we already have.

                          Alot of people think Lawson would be a better fit in a 4-3. He's got ideal size to play end and was drafted to play end before Singletary went to a 3-4. If Edwards isn't an option, I'll take Lawson.

                          I like Hightower because he averages close to 5yds a carry and can catch the ball. Over 60 passes caught in 09 out of the backfield, thats essential in a WCO. Could we have the guy in Hardesty? Possibly, but I'm not willing to risk Hillis being stuck with the work load again.

                              If we get him and when he makes a sack (or misses a tackle), we can bring back the phrase "that's just Manny being Manny".

                                      I believe the Pod races also took place on like Bunta Eve.

                                        So...I was thinking, and decided to re-visit this thread. Based on what teams and the Browns have done thus far in free agency, who do you feel would be the best fits for the Browns in our most dire positional needs? Here are mine....

                                        CB - I would like to see them go after Carlos Rogers. Only in light of the fact that I don't see them being players for Nnamdi (SP) or Cromartie.

                                        WR - I don't see a Plaxico or TO here...nor do I want them. I would like to see one of the following three...in this order of preference...James Jones - Derrick Mason - Mike Sims-Walker. I think any of the three would be an upgrade to what we have now. But I think Jones would be the best of the three and would not break the bank.

                                        RT - I again see 3 options. Columbo, Andrews, or Starks. Nothing else is even appealing.

                                        DE - Obviously at this stage, Edwards would be the choice. And H&H apparently think so too. I would also (I know...I'm a homer) like to see them take a flyer on Gholston and move him back to DE. Give him a shot in camp...I think he might surprise you!
