    Blessing in disguise

    — Christian Kirksey (@Kirko58) March 2, 2020

    But his release would not surprise me. No one is going to take his contract on after his missing the better part of the past two seasons.

  • So, that would leave us with what at LB?    Wilson and Taki Taki....

    Remember, they also got rid of  Adarius Taylor.

    Needless to say,  the Browns LB position could end up being a real shit show. 

    Here is a list of FA  ILBs.        Can we assume that they will have to be signing some one or two players here?

    Shit,  forgot to paste it.   Will edit. 

  • This means we will draft a LB with our first pick ?

  • Rough stuff. I do understand the move but kinda hate to see it happen. Kirksey really put himself out there and tried to embrace a leadership role. That’s a tough gig and l admire the people that take it on, and he actually looked good doing it. I know the whole availability thing makes that a hard sell. But still...

    It may be within the realm of possibilities he re-signs with us on an incentive laden deal. Resume his leadership role and go for it. I’d get fired up over that.

    I just looked this up, Adarius Taylor got paid over 2.5 mil last year and made 9 tackles. 9 tackles! 2.5 mil didn’t even get you double digit tackles!

    Shit... that's right there with what Bloomberg spent on votes...

  • LINEBACKERS ?!

    WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING LINEBACKERS !!

    We'll hire back Steve Wilks to run the D so we won't need so many.

    .......this shoe falling, of course, was not unanticipated.  But we sure have a lot of holes to fill right?  Edge rusher (Vernon will be gone), MLB, OLB's, S's, CB depth, and on offense, LT, RG, RT, TE, WR#3 and or WR#4.    

    Like it or not we're going to have to be quite busy in free agency just to be able to field a team.  There's no way to fill all of those holes in the draft.

  • When ya dump 2 starters, am almost certain Berry & Joe Woods have a plan..

    Am hearing the Redskins are trying to get ILB Jon Bostic redone, who had a great season last year..If Bostic hits the market? He'll fit the mid market for a ILB...

    Outside LB I've always been a fan of a Panthers draftee & now Saint OLB AJ Klein... also should be a mid-market guy if Saints let go... 

    Tags come out the 10th... Legal Tampering- starts the 16th & can announce at 4:01 pm the 18th..

    They're plan clearly is to emass picks and go 0-16 again...

    How do you "emass" (amass?) picks by releasing and not resigning players?

    We are not going to "fill all the holes" in one off-season.

    They created a lot of them in one off season....why should't they fill them?

    And just out of curiosity.... what would be your list of holes that we now have to fill? 

    I think it would  include  2 OTs,  2 LBs at least,    a safety..or 2,    Anything else? 

    IF they are active in FA (which I doubt), and IF they could hit on their top 3 draft picks, they could seemingly fill the holes.   

    But, if you bring in like 6 new players, combination FA and draft.....it might be fair to say that we could expect 2 of them to NOT end up fitting the bill, if not more? 

  • Two Safeties... at least two LBs... also need IDL and IOL  and blocking TE and 3rd WR "fills"... and then there's depth.

    And when I talk "fills" I'm talking about quality starters.

    We will definitely be involved in FA.

  • Higgins if resigned will cover the third WR.

  • Yup...
