    Browns GM Andrew Berry has had his sights on McKinely since he scouted Garrett and other edge-rushers in the 2017 draft. If the Browns can coach another seven-sack season out of McKinley, the $4 million will be worth it.

    Is it McKinney...or McKinley......which I think are two different people.

        So, now we have our second Mount McKinley?

          1) It's no longer McKinley... USGS reverted it to the native name Denali. Just like Barrow Alaska is now the unpronounceable  Utqiagvik.   🙂  

          2) Your odds of actually seeing it in all it's glory from the park road are crappy- the mountain literally creates it's own weather. It can be clear everywhere else, and the mountain is socked in with clouds at the 10,000' level.   I can attest when it's clear- you can see it from the Glen Alps overlook in Anchorage- 160 miles away.

            I can call it whatever. And I am well aware of what you say. When I was there it was almost totally shrouded

              I'm good with it.  Going to rotate our edge players like a swarm and keep bodies fresh.

              I agree, a good signing.  

              He obviously has something we like since we tried to claim him a few times last year.  To me he is a 3rd wave signing we decided to get out of the way.  I think we will still be looking for another...we have shown interest in Clowney in the past.  It wouldn't surprise he if we went in that direction.

              If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                I'd give anything to see Clowney on the other side of Garrett. Our defense would make us SB ready with those two and the comeback of our injured D players. Add in a couple of high D draftees and it's time to rock 'n roll!

                    Jesus, from reading that, you'd think McKinley was a good NFL player.

                      I would hope that based on the fact that Andrew Berry signed him that, yes, he is a good NFL player.  At least a contributor somewhat.

                        Yep!!! 1 year he’s gonna be hungry type deal with big cap space coming next season and he will be counted on for maybe 20-25 snaps when we bring in a good rookie too.   Fresh and hungry I like it

                          With this signing I still hope we're eyeing speed guys on the edge and interior DL. I'm still not against getting a few veterans in there, and drafting OLB/DE talent high.

                          Currently eyeing guys like Casey for the DL (who will take a one year deal), taking a chance on Kawann short, etc. Our front seven still needs to get plugged in a good bit.

                            gotta admire this guy - he really fits in with the Browns culture, locker room and  community.

                            He's excited to be here- I think he's plenty good enough to make some plays even as a rotation guy.

                                I like the fact that he feels QB hits and pressures are just as important as sacks. Very true. This is exactly what I wanted on the other end of Myles. Double team Myles and the rest will clean up with speed to the QB forcing errant throws. Combine that with new blood in the back 7 and this defense is gonna rock. I think he's going to be our best FA addition.

                                        With this signing I still hope we're eyeing speed guys on the edge and interior DL. I'm still not against getting a few veterans in there, and drafting OLB/DE talent high.

                                        Currently eyeing guys like Casey for the DL (who will take a one year deal), taking a chance on Kawann short, etc. Our front seven still needs to get plugged in a good bit.

                                        Much like 3/4 of both the team coaches and people on this forum, you've forgotten about Curtis Weaver.

                                        Another way to give Takk and/or Myles a breather is to push Sheldon outside to DE.. He spent time at DE with NYJ and was very effective.  Then go DI with our first-round

                                          homie the only reason you're so damn high on Weaver is because PFF was.

                                          That is...literally it.       He might have a shot if he's lost 15lbs.  Because he looked slow AF at times coming off the ball when I watched him.  Granted that was 2 years ago, but I do remember watching. 

                                          edit: Re Sheldon.  The "DE" label in Jets land at that time (and a lot of other teeams) was for their 3 man base. Which is very much still a DI.  Though he might 2 gap on occasion from a 4tech.  But when you say "outside" as in putting SR on the edge?  Yeaaaaah, nah.  He's a DI disruptor and taking him away from there, while spelling Myles, is still a net loss for your defense.

                                          Double edit: last I checked, the only team running what amounts to a 33 as their base was the Rams.  But then again that's what you can get away with when your best pass rusher is Aaron Donald.  They genuinely had Suh's big ass parked at a 5tech in the super bowl.
