How Do You Feel About The Fa So Far?
-
I really think this is the last year of this FO. They look like the nerdy kids that are trying too hard for someone to play with them.
Bad moves
D. Patterson- WAY over-payed for a below average player
D. Jackson- Over-payed, but atleast he has production
B. Schaffering- If he didnt play for the Browns than he wouldnt be in the NFL
J. Greco- Depth
J. Parker- Old, undersized, not very productive. Atleast we didnt break the bank.
No moves
P. Manning- Im not saying that he would have signed here, but it looks like your happy losing if you say you wont atleast look into it.
P. Hillis- Letting the most productive offensive weapon we have walk is plain stupid. When he signs for 3 mil to be a back up for a medicore team, the FO needs to resign
Good moves
J. Norwood- Best reciever on the team... sad
I have 0 confidence in this FO. They sign 2 backup DEs that will combine for 7 mil against the cap, when we could have signed a proven pass rusher for the same price. (Carter and Abraham)
We have plenty of cap space so these signings wont kill us, but I dont see the commitment to winning that they H&H keep preaching about.
Good moves
J. Norwood- Best reciever on the team... sad
I would argue Evan Moore is the best on the team but having a TD per 6 plays that he was on the fieild total last year doesn't speak volumes to our front office.

Our lack of activity in the FA does not surprise me. But the # of holes in the team and the lack of quality is what worries me. This is what year 3 of the Holmgren project? And we are weaker than we started. That is the sign of a team going backwards esp when we are already so back.I dont see progress and that is what worries me. We are shopping smart and bargain shopping but we need quality too. Where is it? I can forgive Holmgren for not finding a QB in his 3 year term, butwe have no QB, no established WR and our TE's are project too. Now our RB is gone. The inability of an offensive minded person to find such vital offensive pieces for three years truly worries me.
If I was a season ticket holder, I would not renew my season ticket. That money can go towards more noble things like charity or beer or women.

Ok Mike Holmgren. You are the boss.

Neither excited nor disappointed with our FA effort so far...
Stud FA's are out for paydays and rings. So we have to first build a reason for them to want to come to CLE. Then they will come.
And you build through the draft.

Not real happy with what they are doing so far, but I have a feeling they have a real big move in the works right now. What the Browns do or not do does not bother me anymore. If you lower your expections you will never be dissapointed, thasts what I TELL MY WIFE ALL THE TIME. It works she is never dissapointed in me and I am never dissapointed in the Browns. It works!!!! try IT!!!!

Not to change the subject but how the hell do the Pats have 2 firsts and 2 seconds and the just signed Brandon Lloyd. I hate this shit so much it makes me sick.

Because the Pats are good. It must be nice.

I heard they signed Anthony Gonzalez too... Bradys gonna make him a star.

My expectations for FA was to bring in depth and role players at need positions and draft the "stars". The Browns are set up nicely to do just that.
Those that look at the 1st week of FA and make judgements about how the team will perform the following year have no clue how the NFL off-season works.
As teams sign big name FAs, cap casualties usually follow, leaving above average players looking for a place to play. The draft typically wreaks havoc on the veterns too.
I'd look for a couple more moves in FA (still depth players), a big time draft, then a couple more signings/releases. The truth is we have no idea who those players might be.
The off-season is still young. Step away from the ledge.

I entirely expect that we will be drafting offense with our first two picks this year. RB/WR or WR/RB. Make any aurgument you want but we are now desperately starved for playmakers with Hillis gone so regardless of how Heckert normally drafts we will be going RB or WR with the #4 overall pick or at least trading back and doing the same thing. The only way he doesn't is if There is a WR RB combo he really likes that he truely believes will fall back to #22 and #37 and just takes Claiborn. Other wise expect us to have either a Richardson/Wright or Hill or Jeffery combo or a Blackmon and Miller combo.

Good reply.

The bottom line is, and everyone knows it, is that we need a playmaking WR to go opposite the young and learning Greg Little. We also need a stud Runningback that can be a 3 down back, one that can be a legit weapon and can tote the rock, someone capable of being inside the top 10 for RBs next year. I personally like the Richardson/Wright combo. I think Blackmon/Miller would be nice as well but I feel that Cincy would take Miller at 17 if hes still there, plus if they don't take him 17 they will take him just before we draft at 22.
Richardson would be our best bet for a legit running game. Then at 22 you solidify the Oline or draft the best possible WR available and address the other at 37.
Is there any chance that the Bucs would drop down to the 22 and let us own the number 5 so that we could draft Blackmon/Richardson? It would be like the Atl trade from last year but I feel a trade like that would certainly help us.
