Zombo Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Guys scheduled to fit market, with my comments. Tashaun Gipson FS 25 CLE TBD $2,356,000 UFA Only chance of keeping him is if Farmer is fired. Craig Robertson ILB 27 CLE TBD $2,356,000 UFA We developed him, now keep him. Mitchell Schwartz RT 26 CLE TBD $1,645,267 UFA This should have been done already, don't want to lose him Johnson Bademosi CB 25 CLE TBD $1,542,000 UFA Best special teamer, gotta keep him Travis Benjamin WR 25 CLE TBD $779,250 UFA Reportedly close to deal, makes sense for him and Browns Scott Solomon OLB 27 CLE TBD $660,000 RFA Whatever Austin Pasztor G 25 CLE TBD $660,000 RFA Sign him. Tank Carder ILB 26 CLE TBD $660,000 UFA Bring to camp on another year deal Jamie Meder DT 24 CLE TBD $435,000 ERFA Sign him. Travis Coons K 23 CLE TBD $435,000 ERFA Bring him to camp with real competition. Terrelle Pryor WR 26 CLE TBD $194,117 UFA Two weeks to show he belongs in the league Daryl Richardson RB 25 CLE TBD $103,235 RFA I know nothing about him Darrian Miller T 22 CLE TBD $102,352 ERFA Ditto Of course new coaching staff, new schemes, affect all of this. But Gipson, Schwartz, Bademosi, Benji, Pasztor and Meder should not be allowed to leave ... but I'm sure it doesn't look good for Gipson or Schwartz, and Mack can opt out. Pastor and Meder are restricted, so no problem there. Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I'm all for keeping Coons as kicker. He hasn't missed, just needs better special teams. Schwartz, Benjamin and Gipson I would love to see all stay. First two I'm certain will, Gip maybe not, depends on Farmer as you say. Meder, Pasztor, Bademosi, Robertson, yep, go for it. Pryor - sign him to a vet minimum type deal, if only so we can keep him through training camp, then cut him at the 53 if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Clearly we cannot afford turnover at two OL positions. So Schwartz has to be a priority unless Mack stays and commits to additional years. We aren't talented enough to keep STers who aren't adequate backfills on Defense.

gftChris Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 If anything, Gilbert is excellent on special teams, and is probably a better corner, at least with a better ceiling than Bademosi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudfly Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Schwartz and Benji are the only 2 I would consider "must signs".......the rest are avg to below avg players overall.... Robertson and Meder might add some solid depth.....keeping Gipson would prevent the need to find another FS.... Coons looked ok, but not much leg in the KO department....so Id still say he needs some comp and we should be trying to improve there.... The rest?....dime a dozen....

The Gipper Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 We have to keep Gipson........I can't have my other brother from another mother playing for someone else. Tom Tom Tim Tashaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not must sign but I'd like to keep Robertson and gipson. The more we draft and develop our own talent, instead of replacing serviceable guys with other serviceable guys, the more stability we have, which has a big knock on effect.

The more we draft and develop our own talent, instead of replacing serviceable guys with other serviceable guys, the more stability we have, which has a big knock on effect. Right...agreed....my only thing with Robertson is that he is really close to Kirksey and would basically be a return to "average", so if we are able to upgrade through free agency, this would be a position to do it... Same with FS.....I love the Gip we had last year, but not this years version....so, if re-signed, I hope we get the good one..... Eric Berry and Eric Weddle will be out there(probably).....so he's got some competition on the fA market..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumby73 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Ibraheim Campbell keeps progressing he may spell Gipson or Bademosi as Kirksey does the same for Robertson. Benji & Schwartz our must signs.. Meder is only 24? Sign Him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opal312 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Daryl Richardson was once on my fantasy team a few years ago when he played for the Rams. He was good but they never played him. Reminds me of the Browns and all the running backs they sign and let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdl15 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 L. Miller or D. Murray would look nice with Duuuuuuuke in the backfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Can't see Murray going anywhere. Chip will be gone and the new coach and GM will want to make him a feature of their O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Matt Forte might be available though, and depending on health would be a good complement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wargograw Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 If we get a back in FA (which we shouldn't) then it needs to be a downhill runner, not Matt Forte. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumby73 Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Charlie would say making 8 mill a season is Winning if you watched Mack this season. Let's just see what the other teams think & if their Winning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opal312 Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 How about the Browns taking Joey Bosa first round and with the first pick in the second round Zeke Elliot. Then a wide reciever or two. No matter who the QB is they have no elite receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconHound Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Craig Robertson ILB 27 CLE TBD $2,356,000 UFA Depends on draft Mitchell Schwartz RT 26 CLE TBD $1,645,267 UFA Depends on if your first rounder Erving sucks like he's showed Travis Benjamin WR 25 CLE TBD $779,250 UFA Yes as long as he isn't looking for TY Hilton money Austin Pasztor G 25 CLE TBD $660,000 RFA Sign him. Tank Carder ILB 26 CLE TBD $660,000 UFA Bring to camp on another year deal Jamie Meder DT 24 CLE TBD $435,000 ERFA Sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
