    From Walter Football...the following are the best FAs still out there that could fit the Browns needs...both position and age:

    Jonathan Hankins DT age 25

    Dontari Poe DT age 27

    Donta Hightower OLB age 27

    Maurice Claiborne CB age 27

    TJ McDonald CB age 26

    Isa Abdul Quddus S age 28

    Bradley McDougal S age 26

    Going to be angeru if Hightower goes to Shitsburg. I though for sure Poe was going to be here 1st of free agency, and he is still a free agent. So not to sure what's going on with that.

    Stools are never major players in FA. Considering LB on tag, new money for AB, and Ben....Yeah, they ain't signing anyone of note.

    Browns have enough cap room to sign both Poe and Hightower. See the front 7 of:

    Ogbah/Shelton/Poe/Garrett

    Hightower/Kirksey/Collins.

    Oldest guy would be what....27/28 years old?

    from what i have seen & read. Poe is just to big & un-Mobile to fit in Williams defense..Lets see if some members agree..it's a good question. Poe visited Colts than headed to Falcons. It seems most FA's have either used desperate teams or high $ cap teams to set their value dollar than run to a team that gives them the better chance to win

    If that is the case with Poe....then I would not be surprised at all to see a DT drafted high that would fit Williams mode.

    Who would be surprised if the Browns took Allen over Garrett? If not that...Browns could take a DT as early as #33.

    Can't imagine we are. Don't know what the cap looks like now however.

  • Pretty sure we have a little more room... 😉

    I think we only need to keep $10mm or so in reserve for our draft signees.

    EDIT: I was a little low. As our picks stand now, our reserve is roughly $14mm. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/draft/

    And spotrac's cap tracker has our cap space at $63.6mm. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/

  • TJ McDonald then use the draft ........

  • Hightower signs a smaller contract than Collins, winning does make everything better.

    Yup...

    $43.5mm over 4 years with 19 guaranteed ain't bad though...

  • @cambridgeho said:

    Neither did I.

    Marcus Martin ...seems to be a "backup OG/OC" Well, at least now, yes there will be depth...and maybe competition at that spot.

  • Poe to ATL on a one-year deal.

    And Lacy to Seahawks... with a weight-based bonus clause.

    That's got Pete written all over it.

  • He is Going to have lacy chew gum instead of eating wings and potatoes?

    I thought perhaps Poe could be a candidate to come to the Browns because with the potential switch to the 4-3 Browns WILL NEED another good DT to go with Shelton. But someone says he is not a fit for the Greg Williams system.

    Ta Da!!^^I will give you 2 names Mud.Mark Dominick ESPon's & Bucky Brooks NFL.com^^ "Gregg Williams NT's must be mobile in his system & Poe is not a fit at his size" was reported after Poe's release. I can only report what was reported sir (Poe's 346lbs. & A.Donald 285lbs.) regardless,what looks like a Hog Molly, is still A Hog Molly. it's better when Molly's not looking at you

    Then where does that leave Danny?

    Pretty sure Gregg can utilize one immovable object over/shading the Center... just not a 2nd at the same time.

    Also though Poe was pretty "mobile" for his size.
