Browns Going To Play Less In FA
-
We agree on Hughes... I think he ends up here.
But just look at the DT talent we could go after, Knighton..Fairley..Docket..Raji................anyone of those guys could be our starting NT, and all of them are going to be better for the next few years than any DT in the draft.
Raji's production has been way down the past three years... 2014 due to injury, I believe.
Fairley is rumored to be at least as dedicated to the game as Albert Haynesworth.
Dockett is not a NT.
Don't know Knighton.
Were I to target a DT, it'd be AZ's Dan Williams.
No reason to spend on any of the above with the prospects in the draft.

Hartline is someone we should bring in. Austin should be let go along with Benjamin. Those two we can replace in the draft

I think it could be a function of what they lose in free agency that dictates how active they should be.

Probably so, but if you do that you are working from a defensive position, only reacting to others actions.
That said, we have read all along that we probably weren't going to be big players, and probably have a pretty good feel for who we are going to lose and who we don't care if we lose. Without the full list in front of me, I'd say losing Skrine and Jordon would be the two losses we would feel to any degree.
My guess is we sign 2-3 players...maybe a D lineman or two and a receiver. Maybe a TE as well.

I was initially worried about Hughes' sack numbers when I looked at them. Considering he's playing along side 3 pro bowl players. However I caught he total sacks, pressures and hits from PFF and I'm good with offering him a solid contract. He'd be an instant upgrade over Mingo, fill a need, and allow us to take a shot on a developmental player much later in the draft.We agree on Hughes... I think he ends up here.

As for Raji, Knighton and Williams ? No thanks. Raji isn't what he was in 09, Knighton is almost 30 and Williams is a very one dimensional player. I'd like Shelton for the fact he also collapses the interior pocket.

I take it as we are gonna sign a bunch of guys like Miles Austin and God forbid another 30 year old Willis McGahee, I don't see any major upgrades, like Suh or Hughes even.....

Steven Jackson the running back? Why?
We have power backs, young ones.
Could use a scatback.

I think Crowell and West compliment each other pretty well. West being between the 20's type of guy. Crowell is money inside the 10. Jackson would undoubtedly be able to help both guys. Only if he isn't demanding big $$ or x amount of playing time. Doubt he'll complain about # of snaps.
How funny would it be to get TBitch back and have him blow up??

I say we sign Deangelo Williams to go along with West and Crow. Use him as a 3rd down runner and reciever out of the backfield. Should be pretty cheap and if he can stay healthy would be pretty productive in that role IMO

You think, lol. The reactions after every game last year were insaneThis board is full of reactionary bitches.

And would you look at that, the Browns have played very little in FA. Maclin,Suh,Cobb all elite players that the Browns showed VERY LITTLE interest in, now we will end up with Josh McClown and MAYBE Brian Hartline and Trent Cole.......yipee.....
Playing less in FA has worked great since '99 hasn't it!
