  • It is interesting that neither of the big LB's (Schobert or Littleton) have signed yet...I'm wondering if teams are thinking the same thing that the Browns were in that they aren't worth $10+ per year. I could be totally wrong on all of this, but the teams that needed LB's seem to be filling holes quickly (raiders, giants, dolphins)

    Technically, no one can sign until Wed. at 4 PM.....but I know what you mean.  

    Sorry, but yea, absolutely.... the Browns, in my opinion, cannot  just rely on the draft to fill the LB and Safety holes.   If they are going to lose 4-5 guys in those positions (Kirksey, Schobert, Burris, Murray, Randall)  , they need to sign  FAs to replace them.    EVEN if they think that Takitaki and Wilson can be starters, they will need backups.   Who else do we have?  Willie Harvey?    Does anyone recall this guy even playing?  Or  Trevon Young or Jermaine Grace?

    At safety:  Montrel Meander and JT Hassell show up as third stringers on the depth chart behind Redwine....I don't think they will suffice.

    The issue is that you called the Bengals two players that were signed as a "Big Splash".     I say, and I think Tour agrees, though he is trying to be fey about it, that those two signings barely made a ripple in the Free Agency pond.

    If so, you do not know shit about how to read the English/American language.   What language do you know how to read?  Pig Latin.

    London put this in his post....about these being two big splash FAs.   He quotes someone else....but it is his post. He has to own it. 
    All you have to say is that you either agree, or disagree with the statement that these are two big splash FAs.  
    Why is that so hard for you? 
    Namaste, umbassday.

    Now there's a font size that says, "I'm confident in what I am posting." ... lol....

    Sure, Gip... just like you own everything you post here. ..

    Couldn't be that he was just reporting Twitter news and copy/pasted one tweet too many... Could it?

    And then did not edit his post as carefully as you did yours from which I plucked the tiny font bit... "Fair to say?"

    For the love of God... please stop digging...

  • BTW... Reader is a great get for them. Three solid seasons in HOU miscast as a 3-4 NT seeing too many double teams starting over Center. Then they started giving him some snaps at 3-4

    Last season, his 4th, he almost exclusively played DE and racked up 2.5 sacks and 13 QB Hits. It's what got him rated as the #3 IDL in this FA class behind the All-World Chris Jones and Hargrave. Personally I like Reader better than Hargrave.

    DJ is going to wreck havoc next to Geno inside... and $13+mm/yr says Cinci agrees with me.

    Add Dunlop and that's three quarters of a formidable front four.

    As for former 11th overall pick Trae Waynes... while he never lived up to his 1st-round billing IMO, he's a very good CB and one of the better under-30 CBs available in this fairly old and otherwise thin FA Class.

    Football fans know this kind of stuff.

    Post whores... not so much.
