NFL Free Agency Thread

Why the surprise? The team needs WR's and they don't exactly have a stellar record at drafting them.

Good point, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. We got decent production out of Dobson as a starter on his rookie year before his career hit the toilet. I just don't think much of these recievers.

Paying 5 M a year for Sanu/Mathews = fail IMO
Paying 7-8M for Weddle = value, steal

If we are going to pay in FA, pay for the elite talent that may be undervalued due to age and a non-sexy position.

Please pass on the near JAG-level WRs. Doesn't have to be Weddle but who else could be a steal? Who's the next Sheard?

With Jones reportedly off the market now and Benjamin supposedly going to San Diego, I'm really not sure what the plan is at WR right now.

WR's, for the most part, do not contribute heavily in their rookie years. When you add in the fact that this is the toughest offense in the world to master, relying solely on the draft to replenish the position is not the way to go.

Exactly, just feels like their plan is be cheap and only look for bargain bin FAs.

They just tried to get the best WR on the market..

Does anybody have a list of next year's free agents? There's gotta be another solution. Signing these guys to 3 year deals doesn't seem like the way to go but they are stuck beetween a rock and a hard place. Too bad it's come to this.

But failed

 

[JMC00]

No thanks. Sanu is a JAG and so is Matthews. I will give it time but the rumors about guys like Powell and Sanu really disappoint me. Adding a bunch of jags sucks.

uh huh just like Sheard was a JAG last year and LaFell was a stone hands JAG (who was one of the reasons why they won a SB) the year before that

Trade for Gordon
3 guys with tires that should be kicked: Cruz/Wallace/Harvin

Possible WR group:

Edelman
Gordon
Amendola
Martin
Cruz/Wallace/Harvin

The Browns just lost their #1 WR and their #1 FA WR target. I think the Gordon ship has sailed. Unless they want to just suck immensely again.

Not a big wallice guy but the value. Much better options than paying for Sanu/Jones.

Just a reminder that Colston, Boldin, Harvin, Kearse, and Rueben Randle are still on the market. I don't think any of those guys could have brought what Jones would have, but there's still some relative quality.

What's your suggestion in case the Browns don't want to trade Gordon?

Michael Floyd

Stop with the Michael Floyd ****.. It ain't happening

I'd love it but I just don't see how the Browns would trade Gordon. They'd have nothing at the position. Cruz is someone I forgot about. If he's healthy, he could be an interesting and low-cost option.

Trade for Gordon

Tough to do when he is still suspended.
