More In And Out Of The Picture
-
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.
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.

As of this morning, March 18 here is a list of players who have been added 'in the picture" over the last several days:
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.

Zibikowski would be sick

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?

Zibikowski would be sick
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.

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.

Cuz Zibikowski in the only Notre Dame player I've ever liked and he's a good user safety in Madden

Cruz is still a year away from unrestricted free agency so they donβt 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 .

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.

More "out of the picture" this afternoon March 19th:
QB Ryan Fitzpatrick...got his St. Pats present, signed by Titans
QB Matt Hasselback...signed by Colts
OG Nate Garner...signed by Dolphins
WR Louis Murphy...signed by Giants.
-
Another group of "Outs":
CB DJ Moore signs with Panthers
OG Seth Olsen signs with Vikings
QB David Carr resigns with Giants
and, of course, Phil Dawson.

Really, really loved the Browns first two moves. Really, really hate that they've missed out on all those affordable corners and now it's down to paying more for a potentially terrific CB who's gonna be 30 and coming off a torn achilles. Could work out... could make us yearn for Keenan Lewis.
I figured we should focus on D and RG because it's gonna be tough to get f/a passcatchers to come here until we have a settled and productive QB sitch.
