    That seals the deal. I go for Brees as my 1st draft pick next year in FFL.

    Pat yourself on the back...

    The "$2.5" seems to be a typo... should be $25 million.

    Have to guess that the size of Rivers' contract cost Pierre his spot... that and the guarantees were all in his 2019 pay. No dead money...

    i allways liked that guy he balled out for us the guy went through alot of shit in his prior nfl life  would be nice if we brought him back

  • Eagles got Darius Slay from the Lions for only a 3rd and a 5th.. although Kevin Johnson will do a great job as our nickel this year, I'd have done that deal in a heartbeat

    #1.. Jadaveon Clowney  DL

    Got to admit..Been watching Seattle's Clowney rag doll a good 9'ers front on the Network.. Seattle wants him back and reports say they offered him 18M to do so (seeing now, Sea. offered 13M, but who can anybody believe?)...JC refused, to go test the FA market.. and watching 5 quarters (OT) of Hawks beating 49'ers on MNF ain't going to hurt his case... Some teams going to pay him..

  • A pretty good free agency period so far for us.  Of course we had so many holes and let so many players walk that we HAD to have a pretty good free agency period.   It takes the pressure off the draft a bit.  We need an OT (I say, LT), we need an edge rusher,  (two major positions)  we need a G and another LB'er (or 2).   Still plenty of work to do.

    In a week's time we've taken OFF of our needs list:  1 OT (I say, RT), Backup QB, TE,  2 Safeties, and running downs MLB. (I guess we can include FB too, since we now have 2 of 'em).

  • Both aqib talib and desir were under 60 this past year. Josh Norman was a 45 and looked like he was mentally already coaching high school rather than playing on Sundays.

    I hope we actually sign Brandon Carr who was a 66 this past season -- serviceable, but not worth the high-priced contract he was playing under.

  • I swear there was a thread on here yesterday that said the Browns signed CB Richard Sherman?

    I think you have been affected by the corner virus 🙂

  • Billings is my under-appreciated signing favorite so far.  Kid has room for growth in his game and brings something to the table that makes me forget about investing mid to late round picks on interior 1gap pluggers.

    I agree I’d rather have a known commodity in the dline rotation than break in a rookie who may or may not have it in year 1.

    A lot of it vs the run I'm betting...

    Clowney's Pass Rush numbers were down, I've read more than one account about 2020 being his best season vs. the run to date.

    Are the figures PFF grades? (Asking because I let my subscription lapse.)

    The Browns Sign Cornerback thread now on page 2 included an article comparing our new CB's size to Sherman...

    Best I can do to help you salvage your sanity.

    But may I still interest you in a Kinlaw Day 1...

    ... or a Day 2 Davis (Khalil)...

    ... or a Day 3 Jones (Benito) or Davis (Carlos).

    All look to be more penetrators than pluggers...

    Billings... I'm still hung up on his 2nd season at NT in a 3-4 being more productive than his stint as a 4-3 DT last season. What am I missing?
