    DJ Williams has the potential to be a really great player, but he can't keep his head on straight. I would expect him to sign with the Patriots or Bengals and have a great next couple of seasons.

    Beanie Wells also has the potential, but has had a terrible career for the most part. If he could stay healthy, he'd be a solid backup. But we have Montario Hardesty, who can be more than capable when called upon.

      How about actually explaining your reasons for criticizing his post instead of giving some silly cryptic response.

      You apparently disagree that DJ Williams and Beanie Wells would have potential value to the Browns. Explain why. Because I sure don't know what his pros are or what your cons are.

        Maybe if Beanie "came home" he could contribute. He went to (Akron) Garfield HS.

        Maybe the Browns can pick up all the old home boys:

        Beanie Wells (Akron) RB

        James Harrison(Coventry) LB

        Is Antoine Winfield a FA(also Akron Garfield.) CB

        Aqib Talib (born in Cleveland) CB

        Ted Ginn, Glenville WR/KR

        Brian Hoyer, St. Ignatius QB

        Nate Clements, Shaker Hts

        Rob Sims, Nordonia OG

        Rodger Saffold, Bedford

        Haruki Nakamura, Elyria S

        Scott Mruczkowski, Garfield Hts. OG/C

        Michael McGlynn, Austintown Fitch

        Kevin Houser, Westlake Long Snapper

        David Herron, Warren LB

        London Fletcher, St. Joe's LB

        Barry Cofield, Cleveland Hts. DT

        Prescott Burgess, Warren G. Harding LB/ST

        Alex Boone, St. Eds OG

        You could put together a whole team of local talent perhaps.

        Antoine Winfield was released 10 minutes ago.

        I would not mind adding the first five from that list at all.

          QB Kevin Kolb

          S Tom Zbikowski

          WR Brandon Lloyd

          S Ben Pollard

          WR Ben Obomanu

          DE Elvis Dumerville

          LB Quincy Black

          S Kerry Rhodes

          TE Kellen Davis

          What interest is there in acquiring any of these players at various position of need for the Browns?

            I'm interested in Kolb. Pollard plays same position as Ward. Dumerville is probably not going to be signed with Sheard and Kruger on board. Lukewarm, or do know enough to speak ofthe rest. No to Brandon Lloyd.

              Per CBSports.com's Top 100 Free agent rankings, here are the best players that were/are free agents and their disposition:

              QB Joe Flacco, resigned with Ravens prior to FA period beginning.

              ...NO other QB was listed in Top 100, though this list was made prior to the Fitzpatrick release

              RB Steven Jackson signed with the Falcons

              WR Dwayne Bowe, resigned with KC prior to FA period beginning

              ...top WR to hit market: Mike Wallace, signe by Dolphins

              TE Jared Cook, signed by Rams

              OT Ryan Clady, resigned with Broncos before FA period began

              ...top OT to hit market: Sebastian Vollmer, and he is still unsigned

              OG Andy Levitre, signed by Titans

              C no centers were ranked in CBS top 100

              DE Cliff Avril signed by Seahawks

              ...note: list prior to Dumerville release

              DT Henry Melton, resigned by Bear priot to FA period beginning

              ...top DT to hit market: Desmond Bryant signed by Browns

              OLB Paul Kruger, signed by Browns

              ILB Dannell Ellerbe, signed by Dolphins

              S Jarius Byrd, resigned by Bill prior to FA beginning

              ...top S to hit market: Dashon Goldson, signed by Tampa Bay

              CB Sean Smith signed by KC

              ...note: other lists had Grimes top, but injury situation made him a question mark.

              As mentioned, if Browns get Grimes, they could get perhaps top FA at 3 positions.

                  Note, per this CBSports.com website, 35 of the top 100 FAs available still remain unsigned. I know the Browns are talking to some of them. Who among this list should they be thinking about?

                    Why would the Colts release him if he is so good? I didn't hear that they had a cap space problem.

                      ditto that about Vollmer- he made the Pro Bowl @ RT. Bill B rarely makes mistakes, so he must know something we don't. Then again he thought an average of 120 receptions and 1,400 yards receiving over the last two years wasn't worth $6 million a year either. πŸ˜•

                        I don't know Vollmer's age, but perhaps he, like Welker, was a little older and BB, as he often does gets rid of guys perhaps one year early rather than one year late.

                            Cruz is still a year away from unrestricted free agency so they don’t have to give him a mega-contract at the moment. They can buy time β€” as the $2.879 million tender did β€” until they have a better idea what his market value really is.

                            The giants have been walking a fine line with Cruz way to long and need to be called on the " Your so happy in Ny the greatest city on the planet Line " While paying him somewhere around 330,000 $ Next year he will demand 12 Mill and the giants are going to pull a Mike Wallace and smash his reputation in the media . Cruz deserves a Chance to be Someones # 1 and the NY talking heads are cuddling the fact , The only thing holding him there is the fear of the NY media .

                            Cleveland need to at least sweeten the deal for him so this travesty doesn't play out in the form of Wallace to Miami after a media circus . Im sure Miami would have given up the Ryan Tannenhill pick for Wallace at 4.5 mill last year . A lesson Cleveland should look at , as a positive not a loss .

                              Cleveland need to at least sweeten the deal for him so this travesty doesn't play out in the form of Wallace to Miami after a media circus . Im sure Miami would have given up the Ryan Tannenhill pick for Wallace at 4.5 mill last year . A lesson Cleveland should look at , as a positive not a loss .

                              So NY won't pay him $12 million next year but Cleveland should give him that kind of money, and ship the #6 pick to the Giants on top of it? Instant Cap Hell. Welker only got $6 million. No thanks. I like what we have in Gordon and Little.

                                      I am growing old, I am growing out, I am growing grey. At this point I may even be retracting in my growth.

                                      11When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 1
