MLD Woody Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 I'd be happy with Berry, then drafting another safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasAg1969 Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Martellus Bennett -- a novelty in that he is a TE who actually is used to block, but can also catch. Age 29. Show him the money. Matt McGloin-- Oak QB-just keep an eye out for how how he does for them in the playoffs. Age 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudfly Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Right....not holding my breath for any exciting pick ups..... Just hoping they are at least capable of retaining our own......and sealing up a few that will be leaving next year....Bito and Kirksey head my list......followed by Pryor & Collins....

Mudfly Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I would start with Collins as imperative. He brings an attitude of every down play that seems to now infuse the D. Absolutely....of course, I have zero confidence that this FO will seal up Collins or Pryor.....or Kirksey.....or Bito..... But....we will see, soon enough, if we are just spinning our wheels or making forward progress,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taco918 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Kirksey and Bito still have another year on their contracts don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I see Collins as a tag target. Pryor as an incentive laden signing... a #2 WR base and #1 upside. I would not structure his base as a #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudfly Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Kirksey and Bito still have another year on their contracts don't they? Yes they do.....and I advocate proactive measures.....sign them now, show them and the team that we are serious about retaining home grown talent...... and dont wait for the bidding war..... Opening talks early also helps the FO understand where these players stand and gives us time to work around any objections they have to resigning.....(and allows us to plan ahead, if we cant get them on board)..... Yep. Mud is speculating into the future. Z Yep.....and our FO should be doing the same.... Otherwise, our 5 year plan really needs to be a 2-3 year plan....cause everyone seems to leave(or tries) when their 4th year arrives..... Ward, Mack, Schwartz, Benji, Sheard, Skrine, Cameron, etc all attest to our inability to retain home grown talent.....and a 5 year plan requires us to be successful there.... They'll get Collins, Kirksey and Bito. Pryor? Probably. But if they don't it'll be because someone gives him #1 type money. Z Id take those 3 as a very solid start to this FO showing me they understand FA and how it can help or break a team.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Bito's injury history should keep his price down. As much as I loved his rookie campaign and want to consider it and him to be a building block, that availability thing is there. Kirksey? He's exceeded my expectations, but for a "speed" ILB he's just not much of a pass defender. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I have to attribute it to a run-first, coaching emphasis that makes him prone to bite on PA. Maybe paired with a real thumper he'd be able to play more balanced D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Davis was supposed to be that thumper.....perhaps Collins could move over......or Mr. Foster at 10(right behind Allen or Garrett) would make me smile.....

Tour2ma Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Foster is exactly who I had in mind when I wrote that... Do you see another reason why Kirksey does not have better numbers vs. the pass? In 20+ starts he has no INTs and a total of 7 defenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudfly Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Just imagine Garrett Foster Kirksey and Collins.....lined up in Browns unis.......I would hang a picture of Shashi over my mantle.... Funny thing about those Kirksey #'s is that early in his career, I had him pegged as a solid pass defender(I still thinks he's our best).....but we can imagine the emphasis being placed on run D these past 2 seasons and consider the possibility that his game has adjusted some, simply due to that mentality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Per the NFL Calendar I just posted, NFL Free agency begins March 9 at 4:00 p.m. Here is a link to possible FA candidates. Look it over. Who do you think the Browns should, or who their FO may target in free agency. Jimmy says they will be active: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
