Steelers, Browns meeting with Winston Justice

With the draft over, teams which weren’t able to fill specific needs are starting to reach out to free agents.

And according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, former Colts and Eagles tackle Winston Justice is making a quick tour. He’s scheduled to meet the Steelers today and the Browns on Wednesday.

Justice is an acceptable player, starting 12 games for the Colts last year, but was displaced in Indianapolis when they backed the truck up for Gosder Cherilus. He played his first six years in the league for the Eagles.

The Browns barely drafted anyone, and didn’t add any offensive line help until the seventh round. That’s more than Pittsburgh did, however, and they need some depth there.

------------------------

 

Wonder if we are looking into Eric Winston as well then at all? I don't think Justice is a G. I think this is solely as a backup, but Eric Winston would be a lot more expensive. I also wonder if we will take a look at Kerry Rhodes or Quinton Jammer. 


2014 Qbs

28 April 2013 - 11:33 AM

Not saying we will draft one, and Weeden has my full support but next years class could* feature some good big and/or athletic QBs.

 

Teddy Bridgewater* Louisville

Tajh Boyd Clemson

Johnny Manziel* Texas A&M

Logan Thomas Virginia Tech

Braxton Miller* Ohio State

Aaron Murray Georgia

AJ McCarron Alabama

 

Bridgewater, Boyd, Thomas an Miller all would be comparable to Cam Newton IMO, and no, it's not because they are black. They are all big-bodied QBs with strong arms, and they have the athletic ability to make something with a broken play.

 

6'5" 245 - 4.59 40

6'3" 220 - 4.54 40

6'1" 215 - 4.68 50

6'6" 260 - 4.56 40

6'2" 215 - 4.46 40 

 

Cam Newton is a rare breed, but this guys are the closest to his measurables since Cam came out. 

 

Chud might want his guy after this year, or he might not, but it's possible to get someone close to Cam in next years draft. 

 

 


Draft Thoughts

25 April 2013 - 07:29 AM

Alright I'll start it

 

  • Mel Kiper has stupid hair
  • Geno Smith is about the only player the Browns could take at 6 that would really tick me off to no end based on the multiple players that have been mocked to us (Jordan/Ansah/Milliner/Warmack/Cooper/Eifert/Austin/Star/Floyd/Mingo).
  • Ahtyba Rubin has been our biggest steal since the return
  • Tim Couch has NOT been our biggest bust since the return (Courtney Brown)
  • Bud Light Draft is better than Bud Light cans/bottles
  • I love it when the fans boo Goodell as he walks up to announce picks
  • The draft was funner when it was only Saturday and Sunday
  • I get more excited for the Draft than I do for the Superbowl
  • Had LeBron played football, he still would have been a top 10 pick at his position WR/TE
  • Joe Thomas has been our best pick since the return

Looking Ahead To Next Year

03 February 2013 - 11:59 PM

Well, now that the football season is officially over, let's look ahead to next year.

Steelers looked to have taken a step back this past year. They are old, I know we've been saying it for a while now but I think it's beginning to show. They will likely lose Mike Wallace to FA as well.

Ravens coming off of a SuperBowl win, but they got some salary issues going into next year. They need to pay Flacco, but dont have the space, right now. Ray Lewis is gone, Ed Reed is likely gone, Matt Birk will probably be gone. Cary Williams is a FA. I've heard rumors saying for them to get in enough cap space for Flacco they might cut ties with Boldin and/or Jacoby Jones. They are potentially losing a ton.

Bengals should have most of their team back that I can think of, and will probably be an upgrade getting someone different for Rey Maualuga. Right now they are probably my pick as the division favorites.

Browns have most of their team back. We have a solid young core on offense in Richardson, Little, Gordon and the three OLmen in Mack, Thomas and Schwartz. Lauvuo looked to come on too. We have quite a bit of cap space to either extend some of our players and/or sign a big free agent, maybe two. We have a high draft pick in a very mediocre class but I think that the positions of need for us are pretty deep in the class and we could get at least 2 starters in the first 3 rounds (no trade back). Our big question will be the transformation of our defense.

The biggest thing is what the Ravens do IMO. If they get Flacco for less than what everyone seems to be expecting that would be great for them, but dont see it happening. Our time is coming Browns fans!

Browns Cups

01 February 2013 - 01:52 PM

Hey guys, I was looking on the internet to see if there was anyway to order plastic disposable Browns cups. Like if there were Cleveland Browns solo cups or something of the like? Me and some buddies were gonna have a Browns party and it would be pretty clutch if we had some. haha
