Njoku is scheduled to make $6,013,000 this year and will be an unrestricted free agent after the season. There is no way he restructures.

I agree about possible draft trades, either moving up or gathering more ammunition for future years.

In signing Clowney and Takk McKinley, they definitely upgraded the DL. The defense should make a significant improvement this year, much like the offense did last year.

The team does need to make the playoffs again this year to prove that last…[Read more]

If The Browns drafted one of the top LBs, I would be really happy but I just don’t think they will.

I would argue that drafted a stud DE would be a better move than drafting a stud LB.

Getting pressure with the front 4 is key with our defense and Clowney is a short term fix.

It wouldn’t shock me to see them draft a safety in round one. One who can play either SS or FS or even CB because we will be using a lot of 5 DB defenses this year.

Darius Leonard wasn’t happy that Walker was leaving.
I still expect the Browns to draft a LB in round 2 or 3 depending on who is available.

Clayborn was a seven year veteran when he started over McKinley when he was a rookie. The Browns released Clayborn so I don’t see them resigning him.
Being opposite Garrett should help McKinley a lot.

His reps say that Safety John Johnson III turned down ‘significantly more money’ from another team to sign with the Browns.

3-year deal worth $33.75 million with $24 million guaranteed.

Tried my hand at a mock draft.

Traded down a few times and here are the results.

32. Travon Moehrig, S, TCU
59. Carl Basham Jr, EDGE, WF
96. DJ Daniel, CB, GA
108. Tutu Atwell, WR, Louisville
110. Trey Sermon, RB, tOSU
127. Monty Rice, LB, GA
132. Jaylen Twyman, DT, PITT
166. Deommodore Lenoir, CB, ORE
212. Tommy Doyle, OT, Miami OH
255. Tre…[Read more]

I would think there would be a lot of other things he could have carried at that weight. My guess is he just wanted some attention.

I liked both. Thought they shoowed potential. I also thought they would place a tender on Tavierre Thomas who was really good on special teams but it doesn’t look like that will happen.

That is the kind of speed we need. I don’t think he will be there at the end of round 2 and don’t think we would draft him in the first round.

I wouldn’t say he is back but he is getting healthier.

Since it looks like their will be a 17 game regular season, the Browns will play the Cardinals. Hopefully we will make Watt regret going to there.

i don’t believe the rumors.

And if (A big IF), he were traded, TB makes no sense at all. Why would they trade for a WR making 14.5 M this year and give up draft picks when they already have a great receiving corp. They have a lot of Free Agents to resign.

I would say we will be bringing in at least 2 DBs in the draft and probably another 2 in free agency. Not sure we need to go the cheap route since we should be contending for the SB if the defense improves enough. Now isn’t the time to go cheap.

Regardless of speed, he would definitely be an upgrade at LB. Do you realize how pathetic the linebackers were? Our best LB against the run was Takitaki and that tells you all you need to konw. While we might not bring Kirksey back, I would say we will be bringing in a veteran LB.
