"Since then, we – both media and fans – have taken that line and run with it. What we too quickly forgot was Gettleman’s next line: “I said we’re going to move up in class. I didn’t say we’re going to go out and spend big money on a player.”

So, everybody sit back and relax.

Why listen to a Browns fan?

I'll see myself out

So instead of shopping at the Dollar Tree, we get to buy an ICEE from Target. I'm good with that, I like ICEEs.

I was as critical of Gettleman as anyone last offseason and I don't see a big problem here. Last year cap space forced us to let loose many of our key players and replace them with rookies and scrubs - this year, we have all of our free agents of value back and we have fewer holes thanks to an impressive rookie class. We are improving.

Right now, we're waiting for the initial insanity of free agency to wear off so we don't overpay on players. We'll go for some mid-level free agents, we won't overpay, and we'll have a better team than last year while everyone else in our division is backsliding. There is no need for cliff-jumping.

I will only jump off a cliff if somebody tells me to and it's free.

[WhoAmI?]

I don't know why all these fans think a superb owl is won in free agency anyway. You use free agency for fill gaps and use the draft to build your team. I'm glad we don't go out and hand QB money to DT's.

 

Gettleman knows what the f*ck he is doing. After back to back beasty drafts and back to back NFC South titles, you would think people would STFU about Gettleman.

I'd rather invest in a few quality players than simply having a bunch of crap at every open spot but that's just me (and other succesful NFL franchises)

most posters here actually do feel this way

[Darth Biscuit]

Voth is wise.

Throw in a salted pretzel and I'm sold.

[PandaPancake]

Brb. Going to Target.

[JawnyBlaze]

I have no problem with the level of players he's targeting. Oher and Ginn are exactly the sort I'd want him bringing in. Not too many of these FAs this year are going to be worth what they're getting. Last year one of the few I thought were worth what they got was out of our price range, but you have to believe we'd go for him if last year were this year-Veldaheer. This year, the only thing Gettleman is doing that's pissing me off is not giving Hardy a chance. I would understand if the market for him is just too high, but to not even talk about it is beyond ludicrous.

Yes, Ted "Unreliable hands and punt returner" Ginn, Jr. and Brenton Bersin are "moving up in class."

 

Michael Oher is better than Bell, but is he better than anyone else on the line at this point?

 

Cliff-jumping? Statements of fact are statements of fact.

We need to spend all of our money!  We needs all da FAz?!!!!

 

We haz n0 F@Z so we de worste!

 

Sorry, most of the negative folks have broken my language centers in my brain.  It's a long off season which just started.  I'll put my trust in Dave because since he's gotten here, we've gotten better.  Tell me, in Seattle's SB season, how many marque FAs did they bring in?  Bennett?  And he came super cheap I believe.

 

Trust in Dave since we're not NFL decision makers.
