If we can get a second for him, take it. Plenty good DL in this draft and you save the big $ hit.

Total flyer on that Clowney trade story but still.....
I trade Clowney (ideally) to an NFC team but really anyone who will take him for a #1 (any #1) and whatever else I can get. Anyone wanting Clowney is on the clock trying to win right this second before some window they got going on closes because it's common knowledge that he's got ticking-time bomb knees with an expiration date on them like Milk (not like Cheetos). Either trying to win a ring right now or stupid so either way you should get at least a #1 from anyone who is serious about him.
Then I go out and sign Justin Houston who is old like Watt but who will also be shutting it down about the same time as Watt too, move Mercilus back to where he belongs, and then set about rebuilding my OL. Try to win now too but also look to the future with that pick I got for the Clown. The Watt window isn't going to stay open much longer so for me at least an older player like Houston makes sense.

Overpaid. That’s a lot of guaranteed for an older safety that is coming off an injury that held him out most of last year.
Wow. It's like every NFL team is the Yankees or Dodgers. Giving out crazy contracts.
Well, almost every NFL team.
Sounds like BS. The Jets are the only team that can take on the contract. They won't give up their 1st (#3 overall) and don't even have a 2nd round pick.
Yes, that' how the NFL is structured.

Bargain moves in FA will always be the best moves and the moves that repeatedly help to win championships. Teams like the Browns are gonna Brown, and when they fail to win a Superbowl in the next few years they will return to the same hell they've spent the last several years in - such is the fate of the fiscally irresponsible.
Not Darth Belichick
the Evil Empire has made no F/A moves
He'll get old good players looking to win a championship on cheap contracts. lolNot Darth Belichick

Dammit, was hoping we'd swipe him away
You do know after all of these moves the Browns are still 47 mil under the cap according to spotrac?
The Eagles/Rams say high.

Looking over the FA still on the market, here's the guys I'd be calling...
QB: RGIII or Fitzmagic or Brock Lobster (ok maybe not the last one)
RB: TJ Yeldon or Spencer Ware. Possibly Jeremy Hill.
WR: Chris Hogan, Justin Hunter, Rishard Matthews, or Tavon Austin
TE: Austin Seferian-Jenkins
Tackle: Daryl Williams - this guy would be my absolute focus today
G/C - Mike Remmers
DL: Nobody
Edge: Nobody (unless they plan to jettison Clown)
IL: Nobody
Corner: Well, I doubt it happens now, but Ronald Darby or Bryce Callahan would be a nice addition
S: Nobody

John Dorsey is doing an incredible job and after putting a Chiefs team togehter that was just a single offsides penalty away from the SB and he looks like he might be doing
the same thing all over again in Cleveland. The guy is utterly phenomenal, arguably the best GM & talent evaluator in the league today.
Williams became a full-time starter for the Panthers in 2017, starting all 16 games at right tackle.
On July 28, 2018 during training camp, Williams was carted off the field with an apparent knee injury.[9]It was later revealed that day that Williams dislocated his right kneecap and tore his MCL.[10]Despite the injury, Williams started in the season opener against theDallas Cowboys, however left the game in the fourth quarter with a knee injury.[11]It was confirmed that Williams had re-injured his right knee and would be sidelined indefinitely.[12]He was then placed on injured reserve on September 12, 2018 after deciding to undergo knee surgery.[13]

Your first statement is true, but the rest is totally false. The Browns change the minute they get good guys running their organization. Their past history has nothing to do with their future. Their future hires, moves, and their actions will. Right now I'd say they've finally gone in a strong direction and they're sitting up pretty fat right now. What they end up doing with that is on them, but they have the pieces to have a strong nucleus for several years now. Saying that they are gonna Brown because of previous coaching staffs and management officials has nothing to do with it unless their owner is always meddling and ruining things himself which is not something the Browns have been known for like the Cowboys for example.

Falcons starting RT Ryan Schraeder just released due to cap reasons. Will not count against compensatory pick formula and would be a solid starter to add to the OL. I expect the Texans to sign him!
Just read the news and thought the same.. I'm not familiar with him, is he any good?

Does he have to be very good to be better than what we have?
The Falcons went into the 2019 offseason with a very limited amount of cap room – some estimates put them as low as $6 million under the cap. Atlanta has since made a couple of moves to free up more room, though.
On Tuesday, it was reported the team restructured quarterback Matt Ryan’s contract, converting some base salary into a signing bonus and freeing up $7 million in the process.
Today, the team pulled off another cap-friendly move by releasing OT Ryan Schraeder. According to a report by Tom Pelissero at NFL Network, the team is cutting him.
Releasing Schraeder will save the team $3.95 million in cap room for 2019 if it’s a pre-June 1 cut, and $6.45 million after.

Cap casualty for ATL but probably could help us but as always depending on the price tag.

Their team wasn’t too good. He would be the best OT on the roster if we sign him. Sure that doesn’t say a lot but if the goal is to be better than last season this is the type of glue guy we need to add to protect DW4.
Matt Ryan has stayed pretty healthy in his career and he’s been a mainstay on their OL.

I guess it's only fair that you would speak only in platitudes since I made some vague assumptions about their future, but I still refuse to describe the Browns as a beacon of competence as a franchise until these moves start producing some results - so we'll just have to see.
Do we know what Henderson will be?
I can't wait.
They may have a blueprint to change the way poorer franchises are built.
The Raiders are currently in the process of doing the same thing on a lesser scale.

Is to much to ask that we sign guys with experience at one position on the o line. What are we looking for these multiple position unicorns that OB has been trying to create.

as shitty s the Oline its just amazing to me we havent addressed that yet in FA with even signing one person.
Honestly I just don't want Davenport to be the starting LT. thats probably my biggest issue.

They would be better getting Anthony Munoz and Larry Allen out of retirement than sign some of these guys .

They produced some results this season. They ended the year like 7-2 or something like that under the coaching change up. Baker improved and looked to be a strong leader. They've added a lot of cheap young talent for years. Now they've got a loaded team with a guy that many think is a strong young leader. I think the Browns are on the right path.

Over our QB “guru’s” dead carcass. The same self proclaimed one we’ve had for going on 5 years now, not our new one.

So far we haven't gotten better this FA period. No denying that.
Yep. Day 1 one (hour 1?) of the FA period and the Texans have done next to squat

Add Schraeder at RT and trade a mid round pick for Waynes... I feel good going into the draft without having to reach outside of a LT candidate.
