Not anymore they aren’t. They’re spending big to try to win now. Their active spending will almost certainly be above the cap this year. They likely will be digging into their carryover cap space as well. Zero issue with the cap floor. And they aren’t done yet. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/cap/ You think the Browns are a team to hate now? Just wait until they start winning. There are a lot of cocky, outspoken players on that team and those mouths aren’t going to stay shut. They’ll be one of the most loved/hated teams in the league depending on their level of success and how you feel about that.

I am sure Beane would like to make a trade like that, but what makes you think he’s trying to get something done?

Sheldon Richardson played for the Vikings on a one year, $8M contract last season. Pretty sure he’d have come here for $10M. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/sheldon-richardson-12293/cash-earnings/

I disagree on use of assets for spending #9 on a DT. It’d be an excellent use if they get a quality player who can get pressure up the middle and play around 2/3rds of the snaps. It’s the World Theory. There are only so many people on the planet with that size, speed and mentality who can do that job. That’s a guy who will be on the field when the game is non the line. Now, I am open to other positions too. We could get a pass rusher or impact player at another position. Yeah. I don’t love the Star contract, but it’s not the end of the world.

Youd expect him to start, but DTs are almost always rotated a lot. Besides, it’s not like you’d want Star in on passing downs

I don’t see Suh signing for $8-9M/yr. Heck, we gave Star 5/$50M. I’d rather have paid a little more and gotten Suh (on a shorter deal) though. It’s a very good bet.

Indy?

Yeah. It’s crazy. You’d expect a lot, but that’s shocking.

BURN THE WITCH!!!

There has been some turnover.

Sweet. Thanks for the reply. Sounds like a good time.

I want to make something crystal clear: you are doing yourself an enormous disservice if you do not immediately read that entire article.

It would surprise me that an adult would really care about the number on their uniform. I know it happens, but it still surprises me. I’m guessing they haven’t even begun to worry about who is wearing what number. Lots of moves to be made. I’d think Poyer would keep his number since he was here before Gore and will be here after him. On a side note, I hope Gore gets at least 4 TDs this season so he hits the century mark for his career.

Serious question: How does that company make money?

Some real sour grapes in this thread

He’s solid, not special. He’d be a nice rotational/depth DE. I’d think the Browns would be looking for a player. Maybe they’d flip picks though.

I thought this tweet was funny and apropos.

Sure, but you can have different targets in different rounds. Maybe there’s a DT or two they’d love at 9, but they have contingency plans if they aren’t on the board. Second round or trade up from there.

They are letting him out of it.

You never know what constraints and directives a GM is working under. If the Giants aren’t blowing up that team and going all out for QB of the future and total rebuild, then someone there is stupid. Could be the owner, could be the GM.

Possibly Earl Thomas to Browns as well. It’s getting silly, but fun!

And yet they tried to trade for Antonio Brown and OBJ. Hmmmmm.......

Not with Greggg’s stupid defensive scheme. I’d rather have him there than on a playoff team that hopefully we’d have to worry about in the postseason.

Hell no. He makes that Balt defense hum. They’re a legit playoff team. Let Mosley get paid and go to the Jest where Greggg will waste him. It’s not like they’re going to the playoffs with or without him. Explains why the Jest got so stupid with Mosley. He wanted to be back with the Ravens, but the money got too crazy to turn down.
