    I just seen where Tampa offered Glennon to be the highest paid backup and he turned it down to try to be a starter somewhere. Anyone see him play? Would he be a fit here?

    steelers interested in pryor that would suck

    The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports the Steelers are interested in free agent Terrelle Pryor.

    They join the Giants, 49ers, Titans and Eagles, whose interest Mary Kay Cabot reported earlier on Monday. The Steelers definitely need help behind Antonio Brown — and a big target — but have limited cap space. Pittsburgh also drafts wideouts as well as any team in the league. A return to his hometown seems unlikely for Pryor.

    Any team with a need at WR would likely take a look at him

    If he is good...why are Chargers letting him go? Cap move?

    According to OverTheCap.com releasing Fluker will free up $8,821,000 of available cap space while creating no dead money.

    In 2016, Fluker appeared in all 16 games for the Chargers and was rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 54 guard out of 72 qualifying players.

    OK, I am not sure that the 54th OG is all that good. They may want to stick with Drango etc.

    Zeitler would be a better choice to go after.

    Fair to say?

    I would agree, Cyprien on the other hand was ranked 7th of all NFL safeties. At only 26 I can definitely see us having interest in him, would be an immediate upgrade.

    Cyprien, Zeitler, and Hightower would be nice additions. One of the underperformers (Fluker, Jockel, Warmack) would be interesting if only to get some good competition churning along the OL.

    Though he played RG, Fluker can conceivably play RT...I'm fairly sure he was drafted as a T.

    Adding Fluker/Joeckel and Zeitler and keeping Erving at C would give us a starting lineup of four first round picks and a second round pick....which should conceivably shut up the "we need to invest early and often in the offensive line" group up.

    I know, I was being sarcastic.

    I was really only saying that show that the first round draft designation doesn't mean jack shit for offensive linemen. There's four first round, sub 26 year old offensive linemen available in free agency this year....yet I bet we'll hear next year how we need to draft two offensive linemen with our first two picks.

    We don't need to spend high picks on OL. We need to spend the RIGHT picks on OL and give them a chance to play together for more than two games. And this is coming from a former offensive lineman.

    See one of my previous Trivia questions.....in the past the Browns got pretty good value in what now would be late round picks: Dieken/Risien/Baab guys we took in the 5th to 7th rounds.

    Again....the Ghoolie theory?

    I hope it's not us in for Tru Johnson, we have decent pretty money tied up in Haden and Taylor there already and this corner class looks very strong. Matt Miller's number one CB is Walter football's number eight for instance, there's going to be more than one good option there at #33.

  • jiggins7919J jiggins7919 wrote on

    I'd say we're going to be very aggressive in acquiring help for our secondary. I'm not sure we can pull the top CB, as he'll be extremely expensive AND he can more or less pick where he'll want to go. However, the Jags' safety Cyprien is an interesting option. He won't be any type of "savior" or anything, but he appears to be an instant upgrade for us. I'm also guessing a highly rated CB will slip out of the first round, and I'm guessing we'll pick one up at pick 33 if we don't trade back into first round for a QB.
