One Post Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 To be at least competitive you need to work on one side of the ball. It gains identity. I say bolster a defense you got $$$ yo. Now a lot of your top tier free agents get the franchise tag so be realistic. Here's my choices JPP. Giants. DE. He can still play at a high level. Malik Jackson DT Denver. Would fit perfect. Bruce Irvin Seattle. Great player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Post Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 One thing I can say for Jimmy. He gave me a good Christmas bonus. The company is huge and to gratify on the holidays is very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 The no FA makes sense. You bring in FA's when you're trying to fill in a few pieces. We bring in a high priced FA right now what's he gonna do except languish? we might only win one game next year, and that's ssaying something seeing as our schedule looks soft.

Opal312 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Would anyone be interested in Brock Osweiler? His contract is up at the end of the season. If we could get Osweiler we could use the rest of our picks for Bosa, Elliot, Wide receivers etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been sitting behind Manning for like 3 years and he's played well enough in his starts this year for them to keep him around knowing Manning is over done at this point.

Tour2ma Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Why is nothing ever interpreted middling? Everything is not one extreme of the other... "Not opening up the checkbook" in FA and "building thru the draft" do not mean "no FA's". They mean FA signings will be strategic... and with DePodesta on-board we may well do a lot of FA bargain hunting. However, splash signings like JPP or Irvin will be rare to non-existent... at least initially. Someday we will hopefully need a final piece, but that's a ways off... even if all goes well.

If we could get Osweiler we could use the rest of our picks for Bosa, Elliot, Wide receivers etc I've seen drafts picks where Bosa is the number 2 pick overall and Elliot is the number 15 overall. So I guess what I'm saying is picking Elliot is not very likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiggins7919 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I have low expectations regarding free agency. I think we'll take a shot at a few "mid grade" people, but we're not going to go all out for any of the big tag names. Not our style, and probably not very smart. The names the poster suggested are pretty interesting, and worth considering. Pass rushers are always at a premium, and if we can get one for a decent price, it'd be huge.

He has all of the pieces and still can't win the big games. If he came to Cleveland, he wouldn't have half the weapons. I'd stick with McCown and whoever we draft.
