Not that money is NO object, but the Browns have tons of cap room and almost ALWAYS have tons of cap room. This team needs to worry less about trying to avoid paying someone big money and more about acquiring some talent.

(To be clear, because someone's going to misinterpret what I'm saying: I'm not suggesting that the Browns not consider money or that they should throw ridiculous cash at marginal talent. I'm just saying that, for a team that's always a good ways under the salary cap and sorely lacking talent, they could stand to be a little looser with the purse strings when it comes to Free Agency.)

We got some guys who will demand decent cash in 2015 though, so we have to be careful with cap.

Jordan Cameron and Joe Haden, most notably.

Sign Mack... I'm neutral on TJ...

I like Orakpo as well... impressive but will be expensive...

Butler would be a nice addition, if he can stay helathy.

agreed, we need to target one of those corners as well.]]>https://brownsboard.com/post/380382https://brownsboard.com/post/380382Sun, 19 Jan 2014 00:09:34 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Around the League top 25 free agents on Sat, 18 Jan 2014 21:53:40 GMT]]>Sign Mack... I'm neutral on TJ...

our new HC will determine who we have to target. If we go back to a 4-3 than we should probably take a hard look at Hardy.

Grimes would have been a lot cheaper last year, he had a Pro Bowl year with the Dolphins.
