Both Murray and Burris gone

We just lost 2 safeties. Murray and Burris

Do we still have Randall? (Maybe, but I think he is also a FA). Only other guy is Redwine.
We are really hurting at that spot.

Free agent safeties still out there the Browns could pick up:
Jimmie Ward.....49ers
HaHa Dix.....Bears
Rodney McCleod ....Eagles
Vonn Bell.....Saints
Adrian Phillips....Chargers
Karl Joseph.....Raiders
Sean Davis....Steelers
Out of this group, could we get back better than we lost....if we sign a couple?
-
Ward seems logical.

I've always liked HaHa. But the price may be too high when we are coming up on a new Garrett contract soon. God forbid they use him for trade/money value instead of retaining him. But who knows?

Bold prediction...they will trade a 3rd round pick for Anthony Harris from MN...

Harris was just franchise tagged by MN, I believe.
-
Exactly why they would have to trade for him..I saw that MN would be willing to let him go for a mid-round pick...Not so sure now that they traded Diggs and got some draft picks back but they are still in salary cap hell.
-
Draft one like every other team does.

One? We need like 3. In addition to that LT...and those few LBs we need.
Do you expect a 5th/6th/7th rounder to start?

Yes, I guess they just wanted to assure that they got something back for Harris instead of losing him for nothing:

The issue there is that with the tag....comes an 11.5 million salary.
OR...question: If a player is given the franchise tag.....and then the team that tags him trades him....is the team that trades for him still obligated to pay him the Franchise Tag salary? Or, are they free to negotiate?

The team acquiring the player is still obligated to the franchise tag salary. However, they are able to negotiate a deal with them up until the July Franchise deadline. The seahawks traded for clowney last year and were unable to negotiate a long term deal but still paid him under the franchise tender. The 49ers traded for Clark last year and were able to sign him long term. Most of the time when a team is trading for a franchise player they have already had conversations with the agent so they have a general idea of what it is going to take to sign the player long term.

IIRC, they can renegotiate a deal, then trade him. We aren't giving up a first round pick for him.

Oh, hell no. It was reported that they would take a mid round pick.

We have an extra third courtesy of the Patriots.

Upvote worthy stuff... owe you one as well.
A lot of times contract length plus guaranteed money bring that annual salary down.
That said... we have some big paydays just 'round the corner.
Whatever we are paying our cap-master... he's going to be earning it these next few years.
