  • Should have happened at our bye week. If Haslem had Sashi in his pocket as GM at bye. Farmer should have been fired, Sashi put in place to get possible extension done on Schwartz. League should extend trade dead line for dummies that want out, after @Pitt & @KC JM had possible buyers?

  • Mel Kiper top 3 FA impact players 1.D.Trevathan 2.Malek Jackson & #3. As Mel is a Ravens homer a RT/G(Schwartz?) Kelechi Osemele 6'5" 330lbs. age 26. All same as Schwartz but 10 lbs. heavier. Took a look at tape & started all 16 games @ RT in 16. This dude has got some nasty. Balt. would be a fool not resigning him though. Ravens only have 5M of useable cap but, news is asking Flaco to take less $$. Monroe @T no imo.

  • Jared Cook would be a great pickup with Dray getting the axe. A major upgrade.

  • I can't see many/any late twenties or 30+ free agents being signed. Just not where we're at. Not looking for a guy to play at a good level for a couple of years while we make a championship run.

    Like someone said somewhere else, most likely guys earning their first FA contract, mid twenties, guys we can have around for 4-8 years and really be part of the team. Like Sanu, I guess.

  • Speaking of Sanu (yes I'm replying to myself, nobody else is up yet over there), lots of obvious reports linking him to the browns. Question is, since he was so underutilised in Cincy, why would Hue Jackson want him? Presumably he didn't think enough of him to get him really involved as a full time contributor. Sure, they have AJ Green on one side, but a bunch of very-beat-out-able guys on the other.

    Marvin Jones was on the other side if I recall.

    While Sanu may have been the 3rd WR in Cincy, that doesn't mean he would be relegated to the same role in Cleveland. He would very likely be the 2nd WR.

  • Sure, Marvin Jones - not exactly Megatron now.

    Not Megatron but certainly a pretty good WR. Our WR corp is pretty terrible outside of Benjamin so Sanu would be a definite upgrade. If Jackson doesn't feel he is worth the effort, we will know shortly.

  • Looked at drops and was surprised to see Sanu was judged to have none in 2015.

    Roughly 2/3rds of the times he was trageted the pass was complete.

    Is Sanu taller than 5'-4"?

    He's 6'2". I have always liked him. We'll see what happens, but whether through draft and/or free agency, I think most of our WRs get bigger this coming season.

  • Still like Marvin Jones over Sanu. Looking like Miami's WR Rishard Matthews will become FA. WR,ST,PR. 6ft. 217 age26. A Benji/Hart option?

  • Agree... Jones over Sanu, but if Mathews is available how could you not explore that.

    ​Especially given our success in signing Miami FA WRs...

  • Garrett @ combine presser announces DE Greg Hardy now FA. And Blows my Trade down to 4 if Wentz. With DE Randy Gregory suspended Bosa may have a star on his head..

    probably too old based on the analytic mindset of the team. The free agents they'll be looking at are the guys just coming off their rookie contracts and not guys at the end of the line looking for one last pay day but you never know.

    Probably, but for a couple of years, at a very reasonable rate, I wouldn't mind it. Robertson is a FA, leaves us with Dansby and Kirksey. Need depth/role players as well as starters.
