    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.

    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.

    could not agree here more T. I find it interesting with the G.Williams statement of "all I got to do is get my hands on the kid once to determine if the kid has got play maker skills in him" From what I saw, I would think the senior bowl he coached had some good ones that fits his plans..tick tock
