go browns... Let's see if they can produce now that they actually have talent

Sean"Big Hurt"Taylor · 03-01-2008, 06:49 PM

If we stick to our guns this off season when do we see the benefit of having more free agent money than anyone else. A few years back teams like the Titans and Bucs had to release a lot of their better players and now they have so much money under the cap. Does anyone know when this will take effect.

And the Browns got Stallworth (is it just me or are the Browns really active every year in the offseason?)

Which means we're down to Javon Walker and Bryant Johnson in terms of free agents. While Chad Johnson, Roy Williams, and Larry Fitzgerald are all rather remote possibilities.

I like the moves Clev is making. Bringing in Stallworth is a damn good move. I'd put Clev's skills guys up against anyone's in the NFL. Not to mention they one of the best o-lines in football. If they can get Williams and Rogers to play up to their potential I'd say Clev. is a serious contender in the AFC.

Very Skins-like... big names brought in, shuffling off draft picks - they don't have a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd rounder this year.

saden1 · 03-01-2008, 07:06 PM

If we're taking somebody it should be Javon Walker.

Redskins8588 · 03-01-2008, 07:22 PM

all that cleveland are missing now is a true stud at the RB position. Let's face facts Jamal Lewis is no spring chicken anymore...

Poppa P · 03-01-2008, 07:23 PM

i'm not so hot on J Walker bec of the knee all last season.

I agree but you know how the Skin's luck is, it will actually work for the Brown's...

Ruhskins · 03-01-2008, 07:30 PM

I think given the turn of events that went down in the coaching hire (the Zorn surprise), I wonder if the same thing happens with free agency...you know like the Skins getting Randy Moss or something like that.

I must say though...many people thought Randy Moss staying with the Patriots was a done deal...and now he's shopping around and it looks like less and less likely that he will stay in New England...it would be ridiculous not to think that the Redskins might be looking his way. I mean a few weeks ago DS and Vinny were considering Chad Johnson...now that Randy Moss is a true free agent, why wouldn't they consider him?

Not a spring chicken, but still good for over 1300 yds last yr behind a good o-line.

I'm guessing the amount of money it would cost Randy Moss to come here and the fact that it seems like he really wants to stay in New England.

Yeah, Randy Moss should get in the neighborhood of $9-$10M a year, and he deserves it. Ya think NE got a steal giving up a 4th rounder for him last year and only paying him $3M to catch 23tds?? Sheesh. Just once I'd like one of our signings to work out to that extent.

GMScud · 03-01-2008, 08:02 PM

Details on the Berrian contract per PFT: 6 years, $42M with $16M guaranteed. $42M for a guy who's never had more than 5tds in a season and never had 1,000 yds?? My god. I'll say it AGAIN- "best available" is a relative term people!! FA is just stooooopid this year. These signings are absurd.
