<![CDATA[Leftovers]]>Will Allen, Butler and the most underated FA left in the Market....Mike Petersen(Ilb) from Jags....Not Doubt in my mind he'd really help the Browns!

Orakpo and wimbley on the edge with hall and maybe barwin....I'll take it.

There are three different arguements within that sentence. not yours alone....it aint happening but I'd take it

you obviously know your linebackers 🙄

I am guessing we will be getting a bunch of young linebackers in the draft so I see no reason to sign a 14 year vet that people said was too small even for a 4-3 scheme. Brooks is good but I will take my chances with our draft picks. As far as leadership, McGinest hasn't announced his retirement yet.

IMO with bell,hall,dqj,wimbley,mcancient,griffin,halloway and likely orakpo we dont have a pressing need at LB inside or out especially another older guy whos best days are way behind him..(see willie above)we should be ok here with the acquisition of an impact LB assuming hall works out and bell could certainly fit the mangini mold..

That certainly is alot of ifs.......if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle 😆

Or sign the guys from the Jets...who know Mangini...and take a LB at 5 if Curry is there...or with one of our 2nds if he isn't.

Not as big of a deal as you are trying to make it. Chances are a 33 year old LB is NOT on our radar.

It's really a moot point, given that Peterson's poor character doesn't make him a good fit for us. I doubt ManKok would consider signing him, even if he could play 3-4 ILB.

I' like the Barton,bowens combo....We need Will Allen as well.

Can we put McGinest next to Brooks and Peterson too? Kidding...

@wpb-dawg-fan said:

was he 33?

No....but he was also Cut... you can argue all you want...I say Petersen will be a good LB in this league for 2 to 3 more years. Maybe not in a 3-4 but I like good linebackers and we only have a decent one on our roster on the inside....the other is still unknown....thanks rac!

Look James Harrison Undrafted fa, cut many times, because he didn't FIT into the size you want at 3-4 outside linebacker... the argument then becomes....he was coached up....well , coach em up! it's the same argument...you have to WANT it...I think Petersen WANTS it! Can't place a meter on heart!

We're going to draft and sign FA LBs. None one here thinks we'll go into the season as is...

Size aside. Peterson is NOT the player he used to be. He played quite poor last year and is known to be a loud mouth. He just doesn't fit the role we're looking to fill. Masters is right, the guy played a 4-3 for 12 straight years. Why risk signing a guy so he can switch roles as a backup when you can sign guys that are playing better football (compared to his level of play now...not his pro bowl years) and know the system already?

Well I, unlike you, don't see his diminished skills. That about covers it. You either can play linebacker or you can't....Petersen can. I'll take experience,nastiness,smarts at ILB. especially if we can get his ass cheap!

Your Opinion....Not a dumb move at all, IN MY OPINION. Experienced backup to DQ should he get hurt...that's dumb in your opinion, fine. He is a good ILB regardless! And best LB left in free agency....hence the title of the thread.

Will Allen would be a good fit here as well! best safety left on market....we should re-sign Adams IMO as well!

But he's not an experience backup in a 3-4. Guys don't just plug and play from a 4-3 into a 3-4. Not after 12 years of nothing but 4-3. You want to go grab a backup for DQ, get Barton.

CLE should certainly resign Adams and likely will.

Peterson played Middle LB. That is actually different than playing ILB in the 3-4 (yes both positions are inside). Different type of players fit into different roles...I'm sorry you hate the system but it defines the defense. MP is tough and I've always liked his play. However, he played poorly last year and has little upside. You MUST get past his previous pro bowl selections...they mean NOTHING. He is the player he is today. Which, is at a much lower level then a few years ago. We will bring in a solid ilb for depth and he won't be the guy. Glad you like him...he was fun to watch. He just won't be a Brown for a ton of reasons.

Don't hate the system, but if the argument is his size prohibits him playing in a 3-4 when he is identical to Dqwell Jackson...I call Bullshit. My point is if you can play as an Ilb in this league and do so at a high level and is only 33, He would be a good pickup as backup. What happens if DQ goes down? tell me one guy on the team that could fill in well?

I'm hopeful that Adams can return. He played hard and is versatile. Funny that we've heard him making trips in FA but not a word on Sean Jones.........
