We're going to sign a big name DB/Safety in the next couple days
-
Again, I have to say that trading high picks for a tagged player may be the stupidest thing any franchise can do.
did we not have a rams fan in here where you posted a rams writer projecting McDonald & Logan to us?
I believe you are thinking about an article I posted of one writer's take on the FA market for all 32 teams.
McD and Logan were 2 of the 4 FA signings he saw for us. I forget the other two. Anyway the general take was that he made a lot of sense league wide.
He also saw us resigning TP and Paz.

I'd like to see a safety but not really into a big price tag DB
Why? Is it your money that is being spent?

Not directly but to really turn the organization around there needs to be a patient plan and adding big ticket free agents in year 2, after 1-15, isn't the best call. Also the rules, and how they are being applied, don't support DBs. Lately DBs have been signing big money deals and fading away.

guy on the NFL channel says the Browns are keen to sign Jefferson, who is the top safety out there.

Browns have offered the most money so far for Jefferson

Would like to see Jefferson of all those names. Been high on him for a few years.

Likely the plan from the start. I don't recall him ever playing SS.

Jefferson and Cyprian would make a nice tandem pair ....

Reports now are Jefferson signs with Ravens tomorrow. Damn!
Indeed. We offered him more money, too. Guess money is only gonna talk for some people (unfortunately not the kind of players I want coming here)
-
Yep-being reported going to Ravens on NFL Total Access too.
-
We cannot attract decent players because we are a dysfunctional mess .....I bet we will still have $100m to spend this time next week

Jefferson on receiving his offer to sign for the browns

It's sounding like Cyprien and Zeitler will be Browns Thursday. Possibly Jefferson instead of Cyp

Would really impact my... I mean... our draft plan...
Third safety - big nickel, most likely.
Yeah... Tyvis as our hybrid back...

Reportedly Jefferson was intrigued with thought of playing beside Weddle...
At least folks can't say we did not try....

Unfortunately 1-15 is going to turn off a lot of people. Pretty sure Jefferson isn't the only FA we lost out on to another team.

And it did not help that those other teams can point to several sources that gave the Browns a poor draft grade last year as well. Would you in all honesty want to play for Cleveland if you had no prior ties to NE Ohio or the Browns? And if they were feeding some of the FA defenders the same BS we hear about still going through the draft process rather than, "We're drafting a superfreak and several other top defensive players to make your team special." Well, I wouldn't commit to them either if they won't make me fell like I'd be on one of the best young defenses ever created. You have to remember all these guys are not far removed from that whole college recruiting process that makes them feel it will be special. Exactly what are we doing that follows that path in "recruiting" for the Browns? Are we getting our DC, OC & HC involved in talking with them or are we just letting the uninspiring brainiacs do the talking?
