Knock on wood. If it happens, I will be blaming your ass.

I'm fine with Rucker at $4 mil a year. Allows us to focus on other positions in the draft

It would be nice to land Grubbs and Collins to shore up the oline

Love the frostee move. Our Dline is solid. Now let's get the RT spot fixed, get some playmakers on offense, and watch Mccoy lead us to the promised land:D

Never have enough DE in this league, I believe the giants prove that. Glad we have a capable starter, but still need to improve the depth. Hope to accomplish this through the draft.

I have yet to see a FA WR contract that I wouldn't mind the Browns taking on.

Nope.

According to that he's now the 10th best paid wideout. IMO I would rather not have that contract on our books for a guy who isn't your typical #1. Would I love Garcon on the Browns? Yeah, but not at his pricetag.

I think that one of two things are going to happen....they will either sign a guard (Grubbs, Mathis) and draft a RT or sign a RT and possibly draft a RG. Pinkston should be fine at LG as he play improved as the season went on but Lauvao was a liability at RG. My bet would be on a more economical signing like Collins.

eh, not a big loss. I think we can get a back with a better skill set than his. Hell, if they sure up that right side....we could probably run for them

Adkins is saying that there's something going on with the Browns "regarding a WR" but no names mentioned yet.

Depends who we get, but I mostly agree. It just seems personal lol. He could have made more with Cleveland, instead he was a bitch the whole season. The Browns defense better not let him run wild. I hope they take this personally.

Heckert has been tipping his hand on that move for weeks. Just needed to read between the lines.
