    I am somewhat biased. Sean Jones is the guy that I wanted the Browns to draft in the 2nd round of the 2004 Draft. Safeties used to be cheap to franchise. Not so anymore. It will cost $6,342,000 to Franchise a Safety in 2009. Do we really want to pay that much for a Safety? Is Jones really that good?

    No. He's too soft for that kind of money. Good riddance.

    so how would you fill the void roach? a Pool/Adams tandem possibly?

    Neither could play SS. The best in FA is Phillips but you also have guys like Jerrod Page, Will Allen and James Butler. There are also some very good SS that will be available in round 2 headed by Patrick Chung, who I love. Then again, it would be important to have some additional picks from a Anderson trade because there will be some nice looking LBs there in the 2nd round also.

    It will be interesting to see how this staff goes with this situation. I don't think they will franchise Jones and pay him over $6 million.

    I think it's a wise move to franchise him. We are not getting better at DB by letting him go. Even the bean counting accountants would have to agree with that ..

    I guess the new staff has a different opinion because it doesn't look like he is going to be tagged. Butler from the Giants is a good option and way cheaper. Butler is a player also. I'd like to have him. I think he has better cover skills then Jones.

    I want my safety to lay the wood and be a ball hawk, corners cover.

    Jones hasn't shown that "lay the wood" play for quite a while. If he did, I'm sure he would be looking at a new contract. He stopped hitting and can't cover and leaves the corners on an island too often.

    Jones's has knee problems and none of us know if their's a problem there or not. Also, how much has that knee problem slowed him down? That is something I'm sure the coaches weigh in making their decision.

    Sure that is worth exploring. i don't think the solution is necessarily on the current roster.

    BTW, i'd give Cribbs a look if he's up to it. We know the guy can tackle. i have no idea if he has cover skills.
