Kindred isn't bad so I don't think he's desperate. There were rumors of Gronk and Jalen Ramsey being available. Who knows but I'm excited

Gotta be Thomas, he wouldn't have let peppers go unless he had an idea he could replace him quick. Peppers hurts, no matter what most of u anti Michigan guys wanna say. Giants got a nice piece.

Yeah it sucks to see him go. I'll get over it. We got a nicer one.

OSU/Browns fans will forever remember Pep for one bad season out of position and then swapping him for Earl Thomas and OBJ... Lol

I love Earl and he has been my favorite DB since he came from Texas ( wanted him over Haden)

That said, it would be a move I'm ehh on. Coming off injury, wrong side of 30 and looking for high guaranteed dollars as potentially his last contract.

On the field wise - he takes over deep center for Randall and/or they become more interchangeable. Kindred takes over for Pep as the nickel safety/5th man pressure / 8man front.

As well, the only starter difference-making LB [either OLB or ILB] still available in FA is KJ Wright

Chill the fuck out man. Almost everyone on this board came around on peppers but at the end of the day who would we rather have? Peppers or OBJ and Thomas? Don't be a Homer here.

Peppers has a massive pair of shoes to fill in N.Y. I wish him the best. No regrets though.

Think both and you are on the right track, also don’t be shocked to see our #2 traded for a stud CB.

Stud corners don't go for 2nd round picks. If at all.

Thomas looks like a reach , not a Dorsey kind of move. A 30 year old player coming off an injury doesn’t look right, maybe a lot of smoke for something else brewing elsewhere

I dug up some old wishes from my "3-4 defense thread" ?

This move isn't official yet, so hopefully it falls through..

http://thebrownsboard.com/topic/51549-3-4-defense/

Posted November 6, 2018

"...D Randall has been the free safety, he does have decent ball skills; but isn’t an elite FS. Imagine if we had Earl Thomas?..... Cleveland would love Earl Thomas."

...."I wanna stress this again, though: Earl Thomas at free safety.

He plays harder than any safety in the NORTH since Troy P. Of course, his asking price may be too high. But damn, what a potential signing to bolster this defense. "
