The Gipper Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 In the past, you could always pull up the Free Agent Tracker on ESPN.com. Now though, it seems that they have either discontinued the practice of tracking FAs....or they now want you to pay for the privilege of looking at the same stuff that a dozen other sites give for free.

The Gipper Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 From Walter Football...the following are the best FAs still out there that could fit the Browns needs...both position and age: Jonathan Hankins DT age 25 Dontari Poe DT age 27 Donta Hightower OLB age 27 Maurice Claiborne CB age 27 TJ McDonald CB age 26 Isa Abdul Quddus S age 28 Bradley McDougal S age 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I still wish we would make a run at Hightower. I know Williams can find a way to get him on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I still wish we would make a run at Hightower. I know Williams can find a way to get him on the field. I don't see him as MLB in a 4-3 and he's not a good pass defender. While Gregg probably "can find a way to get him on the field," I'm looking for players that Williams has discipline himself to get them sideline time to catch their breath.

I though for sure Poe was going to be here 1st of free agency, and he is still a free agent. So not to sure what's going on with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poe is just to big & un-Mobile to fit in Williams defense..Lets see if some members agree..it's a good question. Poe visited Colts than headed to Falcons. It seems most FA's have either used desperate teams or high $ cap teams to set their value dollar than run to a team that gives them the better chance to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wargograw Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 When guys go unsigned for this long, what is the impetus that gets them signed? Are they just still in negotiations at the moment? Or are they just banking on a lightbulb to go off in a random GM's head? Or are there cuts coming up? What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the front 7 of: Ogbah/Shelton/Poe/Garrett Hightower/Kirksey/Collins. Oldest guy would be what....27/28 years old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would be surprised if the Browns took Allen over Garrett? If not that...Browns could take a DT as early as #33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Pretty sure we have a little more room... I think we only need to keep $10mm or so in reserve for our draft signees. EDIT: I was a little low. As our picks stand now, our reserve is roughly $14mm. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/draft/ And spotrac's cap tracker has our cap space at $63.6mm. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 Poe to ATL on a one-year deal. And Lacy to Seahawks... with a weight-based bonus clause. I thought perhaps Poe could be a candidate to come to the Browns because with the potential switch to the 4-3 Browns WILL NEED another good DT to go with Shelton. But someone says he is not a fit for the Greg Williams system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Gregg can utilize one immovable object over/shading the Center... just not a 2nd at the same time. Also though Poe was pretty "mobile" for his size.

I find it interesting with the G.Williams statement of "all I got to do is get my hands on the kid once to determine if the kid has got play maker skills in him" From what I saw, I would think the senior bowl he coached had some good ones that fits his plans..tick tock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Jefferson: Picked Ravens after trying on uniforms via Madden "I am a guy of swagger, so I gotta check the swag at all points before I make a decision," Jefferson told NFL.com this week. "I put myself in different uniforms on Madden to see what will look better. Ravens did look good, though." http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18973078/tony-jefferson-picked-baltimore-ravens-madden-uniform-experiment Guess no one told him our mascot's name...
