    Losing Jefferson to the Ravens hurts so badly. Hurts more that we allegedly offered more money, and we STILL couldn't get him. We want to build through the draft, not through free agency, but that doesn't mean we can totally fail when it comes to bringing in SOME proven talent. It's very early, and I'm not panicking, but this one hurts. Hopefully we can snag Cyprien. He's not "world beater", but he's an instant upgrade. I'm not holding my breath for Zeitler, as he's asking for a BUNCH OF MONEY, and I don't see us paying that amount for a Guard.

    The latest report is that we're actually offering him a bunch of money. So much so that he can't say no. Something to the tune of 12m/yr.

    That plus Joe ought to be enough...

    Well I think it helps the Ravens secondary but hurts the team overall. They have little cap room and spent probably about half of what they had on Jefferson money they could have spent on their RT. This is a deep DB class they should have focused on getting safety help in the draft. I think having a hole a RT with statuesque Flacco seems more palatable to me.

    Looks like we are out on Cyprien, going to the Titans.

    The Browns are going to have to significantly overpay to get any of the top FAs, and even then (as we're currently seeing) it might not be enough to entice a player to jump into the dumpster.

    They saddled this 1-15 pony, now they're gonna ride it.

    This is the other area I wanted to see the Browns invest in, along with their offensive line. I know the draft is supposed to be heavy with defensive backs, but they seem to so rarely make an impact in their rookie seasons.

    O-Line is fixed. If we can nab a safety here and re-sign Pryor and/or trade for Garropolo, I'm all set for the draft.
