That's the way I see it. We've gone out in FA and signed some guys to fill some defensive holes for the here and now. We already have some guys for the future in Delpit and Greedy. We're going to draft some guys for the future in a couple of weeks. Perhaps we sign Clowney for the here and now. I think Berry sees our super bowl window open right here and now. So let's win some super bowls now, while we're building for the future. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love the idea of signing him if health checks out. Biggest thing is that he wouldn't have to play starting snaps. He could be a very nice rotational player and maybe more if he's feeling good. He's only 28...and a #1 pick. We'd have dueling top picks at DE...yes please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end, I want Berry to get what he wants. Let's face it- Clowney is a mercenary. If he signs with the Browns, it means there were no better offers out there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsympathetic Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 OBR did a long-form article on yesterday. Turns out pen to paper is no closer than last week; "actually signing" was just Twitter one-upsmanship for clicks. So, good thread, all, but we've been played.

We'd have dueling top picks at DE...yes please. Old Browns vs. New Browns. Old Browns may get a big name type guy. For example, Willie McGinest and play him 70-80% of the snaps. He’s not effective in that role. When we were after Watt I loved the idea under the condition that JJ wasn’t expected to play 70-80% of the snaps. I think Clowney and his agent want an opportunity in a 70-80% snap role so he can get numbers and sign a big deal next season when the cap opens up. He understands what we have and maybe we’ve explained his more limited role here. I don’t think it’s about money THIS season...teams are scrapping together pennies because of the cap. His agent wants a circumstance that allows Clowney to flourish the most to set up the big pay day in 2022. The Browns have half the equation - he will get less doubles with Myles but does he want to be involved in our super rotation. We may have told his agent we aren’t done upfront with just Clowney we are bringing in more prospects via the draft. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 So Clowney comes in tomorrow. A couple of weeks before the draft. Perfect! Poke him, prod him, question him...all that stuff. Separately and collectively figure it out in the next few days. And then focus on April 29th with him either ON your team or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting it's sign him on a one year with incentives and then draft another Edge type LB. Send 5 from all directions and watch the QB squirm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickers Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 It has to be the right deal for the Browns.. Not the other way around..... Incidently..

I personally believe it will be wr. I don't think we are drafting db unless greedy still isn't healthy. I'm not high on greedy but I think the browns are. Plus delpit Harrison Johnson III are the 3 safeties for the 3 safety looks woods loves. Signed Troy Hill to man the nickel spot and I know many here aren't high on ward but I'm bullish on him.

Tour2ma Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 One year.... $8mm with incentives for an added $2mm. Smart deal. Can't wait to see the incentives, but have to guess there's number of starts including playoff starts. Berry is going for it in 2021. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
