Tour2ma 5,306 Report post Posted March 25 Gribble got an update of those still "out there"... https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/one-week-later-which-free-agents-are-still-available Couple names popped to me... WR - Marquise Goodwin.. there's your "take-the-top-off-the-D" guy. Has had a couple injuries, but when you run a 4.27 at The Combine you can afford to lose a step or two. DE - Carlos Dunlap... solid, early-down rotational DE who can generate QB pressure when the O tries to cross us up. 2020 stats hurt by playing out of position (IMO) in SEA. DE - Everson Griffin... ditto although slightly less stout vs. run. No idea of affordability of any/all, but as time slips by they'll be getting cheaper.

Clowney is shopping... just like he did last year. not only does he take plays off he takes games off I mean just as i said about watt if he would play on a incentive based contract I could live with that 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm good with that... Maybe he gets 70%-80% of the snaps if he signs with us. I was thinking we will operate more on a committee and maybe he wants to play more and get his numbers for next year in free agency Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Gipper 4,308 Report post Posted March 28 Alualu apparently able to return to Pisstown. Not sure how they pulled off that.

I’m curious how they are doing it as well. But I know partly because of restructuring contracts which we need to keep in mind when the cap alarmist claim we are out of money.

That was a big loss for them. that's the type of *tampering* 💩 that should take away mid to late round Steeler draft picks... The Jags should'n have to re-scramble what was already said as done.. the fuzzy math, needs to track back to when CB Steven Nelson was cut.. retaining Alualu was their backdoor thought then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orion 1,308 Report post Posted April 2 I'm glad that Berry helped our D so much in FA. Drafting at 26, and late in subsequent rounds would make it difficult to get enough immediate starters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we could see a move up from our second round slot 59 into the earlier stages of the second round maybe we get guy with first round talent or first round grade that falls into the 35-45 area. I think we need and want a couple guys that will play meaningful snaps right away (LB, DE/DT). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
