Or go for a stud OL? Or trade down for more picks? Then 2 first round picks next year? With possible 2 extra 3rd round comp picks with your 3rd next year?
With Russell's contract gone and with Lane, Avril, Bennett cut, that's about 40m in additional cap space.
You gotta to give that some thought. You get younger, hungrier, and a lot of your stud core (QB, RB, S, maybe left OL and DL the next year) cheap for the next 4-5 years, and all that cap space back.
It could get you back to the SB in the next 2-3 years? Do you see this team back in the SB the way things are going in the next 2?
You talk like you can just walk up to the QB tree and pick your next FRANCHISE GUY, we were 40 years trying before, had decent guys play a few years in Zorn, Kreig, Hass, Moon. None were drafted by us by the way.
What makes you think that we will pick the next guy and be a success now, Browns have been trying for a long time, Colts got the next coming in Luck and how effective has that worked for them?
The game has changed with FA and this stupid cap system that is forcing things to
be looked at different.
It is out of balance when you have to overpay by a lot to keep a QB.
I hate it myself but I didn't start the stupid process..
As I have said you got way more parts to a team in football than the
other sports with lot less games.
I used the Browns, but throw in the Bills, Jets, Dolphins, Bengals, Chiefs, Bears, Cardinals, Broncos, Jaguars, 49ers, Titans, Redskins. Skins have Cousins or did but is he a Franchise guy? Titans Mariota, but he has yet to prove he can stay healthy and lead them to glory, Dolphins Tannehill but again is he a Franchise guy, Jags have Bortels and everyone here says he isn't anything special, 49ers act like they got one but Garopollo is still a player in a long string of maybes. Dalton meh. Everyone else keeps trying to sign Vets or replace guys they thought were the next guy.
All those Front offices are bad? Lets see we had Charlie Whitehurst, Tavaris Jackson, a string of former players we hoped had something we could use. We got our guy in the 3rd round because everyone else had doubts, we did as well or he would have went higher, we after all just signed Matt Flynn we were so sure of ourselves.
