Official Free Agency Activity Thread

[jrb12711]

It's just refreshing to hear the browns at least are trying for the top guys in FA this year. I've learned quite quickly to not get my hopes up with the Browns though. If Kruger and Cook come along with a solid second CB (there's a bunch out there) I might actually believe in the Browns for once. But alas only time will tell.

[TypicalBrowns]

The Browns in the past 10 years have been Retards in FA.

Hopefully they nab Kruger, or Avril and a good CB. Experience is what the team needs as the Browns are extremely young across the board, but our youth is very raw talent...stress "talent". This FA period is certainly an indicator of what direction the Browns will go in the draft.

There were reports of close to 12 mil, so this would be good.

There’s another guy named Kruger who’ll be looking to donate some excess year-end money to the Human Fund.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Ravens linebacker Paul Kruger is expected to sign with the Browns after the league year begins. The contract is expected to be in the range of $8 million to $9 million per year.

The Colts were also reportedly after Kruger.

Maybe now he can afford a jersey that fits.

Uh oh ... you're in trouble. Cleveland Sound already started an "official" free agency thread.

Zombo

[cdl15]

8 to 9 mil is pretty reasonable.

[cdl15]

lol this thread ISN'T official or watered down.

[Zombo]

So far only black smoke is coming from Berea ...

so do we put the info here or in the pinned one? I am confussed......

[Zombo]

Merged and unpinned ... I think that works best.

Still black smoke...

[Unsympathetic]

Sheard is an OLB, make no mistake. The DL rotation for next year is: Taylor/Rubin/Hughes, with Winn as the first off the bench. I don't want Avril - not good enough against the run. Abraham and Freeney are too old.

I'm glad the Bears already signed Bennett -- they were our major competition for Jared Cook.

Bidding war for DA between BUF and CLE?

[blitzz2]

Fitz was released

Ellerbee didn't come to terms with Ravens...rather give him 8-9 mill a year then Kruger.
