David Bowens, LB, New York Jets Sunday 3/8, 6:42 PM CT

According to the New York Daily News, free-agent linebacker David Bowens is negotiating a deal with the Cleveland Browns.

Our View: If signed, Bowens would be the second former Jet to have been brought over to Cleveland by head coach Eric Mangini. The Browns signed ex-New York defensive tackle C.J. Mosley to a two-year deal earlier this week.

My Take: Browns taking the right path in free agency.. solidify depth with solid team players. No big splashes in free agency and look to build through the draft. The big splash did not work so well with Savage so I like this conservate approach to free agency. I also predict the Browns will have at least one more higher draft pick before the draft than we have now. ... I'm not going to mention who I think will get traded for picks.... but his initials are Derrick Anderson. I like the pickup of Bowens.. Not a starter, but gives it all he has every time he's in the game and a solid guy for depth.
