Balance Sheet
-
Here is the "Balance Sheet" so far on Browns Free Agency. The comings and the goings. Assess whether the Browns are in the Black or in the Red:
Lost OT Kendall Lamm vs. Gained OT Greg Senat
Lost on DL DTs Larry Ogunjobi and Vincent Taylor vs. gained on DL DT Malik Jackson and DE Takkarist McKinley
Lost in DB CBs Tavierre Thomas and Kevin Johnson and Terence Mitchell vs. gained in DB CB Troy Hill and SS John Johnson.
Lost LB Tae Davis vs. gained LB Anthony Walker
Kept WR Higgins, K Parkey, LB Malcolm Smith, OLB Elijah Lee and WR JoJo Natson
So, please provide an accounting so far.
-
Perhaps we must also account for the cuts that have been made as well:
Drake Dorbeck, George Obinna, Adrian Clayborn, Malcolm Pridgeon, Michael Dunn, BJ Goodson, Colby Gossett.
Plus fate still in the air: Olivier Vernon , Karl Joseph, Andrew Sendajo, Taywon Taylor.
IMO the only ones of the above that should be considered for retention are Vernon and Joseph...though they may be replaced through higher draft picks. The others either low round picks or UDFAs can baland them out.
-
Just looking at the list is seems to balance heavily in our favor.
As for the scrubs and stiffs at the bottom of the roster, I don't worry. There isn't a team in the league who doesn't turn over 10 bottom of the roster players a year. Between draft picks, UDFA selections, then team roster camp cuts, we find the others, and even then you purge some of those throughout the season.
I's say we are in excellent shape as we head to the draft, and may even add 1-2 more before this is over.

better accounting?
incomplete at this point... https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/transactions/_/name/cle I think A.Clayborn was the only guy we released from a contract with a year left?
The rest were FA losses or some are still FA sign-able ..

I understand that it is incomplete this far and will be really until the 53 man roster was set in September but I was just doing an interim thing after the first week of free agency

I missed Mitchell....corrected OP. I had Goodson in a different category. I thought he was a cut rather than a FA.

How about this:
Let's list a Browns need, and let's see if it got filled:
Need:
Offense:
A. Wide Receiver depth: Not filled... unless you count resigning of Higgins and Natson. Still, likely mid round draftee to help.
B. Offensive line depth: Greg Senat replaces Kendall Lamm....but could probably still use someone in draft. Return of Drew Forbes may help.
Defense:
A. Defensive Tackle: Malik Jackson replaces Ogunjobi. Still may draft
B. Defensive End: Takkarist McKinney may replace Vernon...who may or not be retained. If lost, still may draft.
C. MLB: Anthony Walker replaces BJ Goodson.
D. OLB: Not filled, except for resigning of Malcolm Smith. Seems a high draft priority
E. Strong Safety: John Johnson fills the bill well. To be well backed up by Ronnie Harrison
F. Free Safety: Not filled per se.....counting on Grant Delpit to come back from injury to fill. May still be a need.
G. Corner/ corner depth. Counting on return of Greedy Williams, may still be a need
H. Nickel Back. Filled with Troy Hill.
Special Teams:
A. Kick/punt returner. Natson re-signed....but still a need IMO.
Anything else that I missed?

Hodge was brought back too. We’ve got 6 in the group- 5 of which are practically roster locks.
Maybe we get a Day 3 guy.
The only positions I think we have no shot of drafting is RB and P. I can make an argument for every position factoring in our 2021 roster.
