2023 Browns Off-Season Thread II: Free Agent Marathon: Settling in for the Long Haul: Slow and Steady: Patience is a Virtue: Loose Lips Sink Ships!

[MirORich]

On our way to winning another off-season! Love when it all works out from Sept - Dec

It is a GIVEN that no matter what they Browns or any team does in the offseason....

-big ticket FAs
-quantity of value FA's
-tons of draft picks
-draft picks used in trades for Vets
-coaching changes
-FO changes

None of it matters and none of it is verified as truly successful until the games are actually played.

We all know that. The people getting excited know that. The people reserving judgement know that. The people hating on them know that.

So it's kind of an unnecessary well to go back to...

Gotta figure the Browns are still very much in the market for at least 1, possibly 2 defensive tackles and a free safety.

Eh, I think it matters and we have a decent pulse of what's going on in here.

We know that we have a massive hole at DT that needs addressed. If we address it, that'll be good. If we don't, we'll rightfully be concerned.

We're also not a section that's full of sunshine puffers. We've rightfully been critical of certain signings... cough cough AUSTIN HOOPER cough cough

I'm very happy they were able to bring Pocic back. Keep the offensive line together. I know nothing about Okoronkwo but it's a need, we'll see if he can fill it. Still, obviously, need a DT (or two) and, probably, a WR. Should have $ to do it, but it takes two to tango.

He's really good if he can stay healthy.

He's just never been able to play a full season.

Dolphins have a very stout defense on paper

Hard not to be excited regardless if you're a fan

Very much so.

Plus the upgrade going to Fangio

Oh, they look truly elite on defense...I'm just bitter and a hater cause the Browns had a top 5 defense, on paper, going into last season...

 

[Triplethreat]

I think bringing back Jordan Poyer is very much something to keep your eyes on.

I'm pretty happy that the Browns are going with a young, emerging player. They will be paying Okoronkwo three and a half million more in guaranteed money than they gave Clowney, but I don't consider the contract an overpay. This is a nice counterpunch to losing the Hargrave sweepstakes.
