Aren't you a bengals fan now?
Guess I have to be now.
I wanted to cheer for the Browns but can't when I disapprove of their decision making.

I must not know how the cap works, because I have no idea how they can afford Garcon and Morgan. With that being said, Garcon and Morgan are #2 WRs at best imo.

Garcon is still better than anything the Browns have. I'm sure they released a few guys to get lower.

I knew not to expect anything with Heckert at the helm but does anyone else get frustrated hearing about these other teams signing players and not even a "peep" on the Browns scheduling visits? I mean good lord, even the BILLS...the friggin BILLS have Mario Williams and Robert Meachem in for visits tonight. Just frustrating...

Meh. The redskins/snyder have been going hard at free agents for the past 12 years now, and it hasn't gotten them shit. Also, I don't really give a fuck what the redskins do, because they aren't even in our conference, let alone division.

According to OBR, the Browns haven't made one FA call yet. I am all for not being like the dumb ass redskins, but for fucks sake at least go after Winston. You don't need to sign that superstar FA until your team is ready to go to the next level (i.e. bears), but geezus don't just play with your penis when you can sign guys who would be a great help to the team.

Players going off the board....and not one to the Browns. I don't get it, and it's very frustrating.

Garcon would have been an upgrade, but they don't even try.

Remember...like Heckert said "these guys are free agents for a reason." :rolleyes: Slow & steady wins the race....

Yup I just try and remember the off season after 2007. I thought we had an awesome off season with getting Rogers, Williams, etc...

I would be pissed if Heckert said we were goign to be going hard in free agency and trying to sign players. But he has been true to his word since day one that he would not be going after free agents. That is why I don't care about it that much. He's got a plan, and I'm supporting him until he starts to slide.

He was having a pretty good year until being injured, I believe.

Garcon was wanting a whole lot more than he is worth IMO. The Browns obviously have some targets in the draft if they aren't making FA calls on WR's. Not to say that they shouldn't spend on someone, but Rogers and Williams definitely didn't do a whole lot for us. Winston still seems like a lock to me as far as knowing what you are getting though. I can't imagine a much better pair of tackles than he and Thomas...

I don't get why you don't get it. They all but guaranteed they wouldn't be very active in free agency. I don't care if they only bring in 2-3 players, as long as they're impact players. I'm sick of bringing in mediocre character guys and depth players.
