Coker isn’t an FA

The only person from that group I’d overly care about bringing back is Cade Mays and maybe Christensen just so the OL can continue doing what they’ve been doing chemistry wise 

Woods would be fine but I wouldn’t overpay. This team needs to be realistic this offseason and realize we’re not playing for a SB next year. 

Keep the OL together. Get Young a WR or two. Then focus on defense but do not overpay for guys just because we need to fill holes. If Young ends up being our franchise QB then take the approach that our first realistic competitive year starts in 2026

Coker is an ERFA - we have rights but we still have to sign him to a new contract.  He was a UDFA so he was on a 1-yr deal.  He belongs on the list.

As for the team priorities, WR is down the list behind most of our defensive needs.  You have XL, Coker, and Thielen - there are certainly upgrades to be had, but WR is not as big a need as EDGE, DL, LB, CB, or Safety at the moment considering contracts and talent.  I am all for one of the top 3 WR's if they are Brian Thomas level or better, but not at the sacrifice of most of those defensive needs.

Higgins is the only one I'd feel comfortable giving big money to. Godwin is good, but coming off a major injury and, IMO, hasn't flashed true #1 ability the way Higgins has. Granted, both play opposite elite WR1s.

I do think there are some solid #3 options available; Josh Palmer from the Chargers is my favorite.

We already have a #3 though....would you want Palmer over Coker/Thielen?  I honestly like our top 3 at the moment.  If we don't go get a true #1 I would rather leave it as is.

No more high priced FA. This team must draft their way out of football purgatory. 

this.... unless it's for the trenches and we hit it the way we we did OG. i think this is the only place we should be throwing a lot of FA money if we're going to be. 

would rather we build through the draft, though and save the big money for good players we want to keep around.

Naw thats the old plan, If the Panthers truly believe Bryce is their guy. they need to gear up while he is on his affordable rookie contract and see how far he can take them.

We need at least 2 WRs IMO. We need a WR1 and a WR3/4 speed/deep threat/returner. Due to our cap situation I don't see us actually getting/going after a Tee Higgins type of FA. Maybe if our cap was more like the Patriots. Basically we are going to have to scout and draft our butts off.

      WR Diontae Johnson to Ravens

      By frankw · Posted

      I made this very remark back when people here were wanting to pay this guy 20-25 million a season once upon a time. A few people jumped all over me. I've been skeptical of Morgan but at least he was wise enough to cut bait quickly after taking a chance on this guy. He's just another headcase WR.

      How do you see it playing out differently?  Seems pretty clear cut in the Top 5 to me, it will be 2 QB's, Hunter, T-Mac, and then the 5th player is probably going to come down to team need with Johnson, Graham, and one of the OL in the mix there. The Giants and Raiders are almost 100% taking the 2 QB's assuming they're in position to, and if not, they're going to try to trade into the picks needed to take a QB. The Patriots are taking an OL, Hunter, or T-Mac, which way they go will likely be decided by what they're able to get in FA before the draft.  If they get an OT or two, they go with Hunter or T-Mac, if they can't get a new starting LT, I think that's the way they go to protect Maye. The Jags are a mystery as they really shouldn't be this bad this year, they have a lot of pieces and really could go any direction with their pick because of it. I also only see one more possible win for us against Dallas, we're not beating the Eagles and I just don't think the Cardinals, Bucs or Falcons will lose to us with their playoff hopes on the line. And if we win 1 more game, I think we still end up in the #5 spot.   Jets still play the Jags and the Dolphins twice, Titans play the Jags twice and the Colts, so even if we win one more, they both likely do as well with puts us in line for the 6 spot at worst.  At that point it would come down to if the Browns are able to beat the Dolphins, but with that game being December 22nd and in Cleveland, I think they have a real shot at winning that cold weather game where the Dolphins tend to struggle. You have to keep in mind that we're also likely to have the tiebreaker over almost every team who might be picking in the Top 10.  The Patriots are the only team currently slotted in the Top 11 picks that would pick before us if we end up with a tied record, we have the lower SOS than all the other 9 teams in that range.

      Serious question: Jameis Winston or Bryce Young straight-up?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      My brother is a life long Browns fan, (i'm still in the closet) and I told him what was coming after Winston beat Baltimore... we would eat his ass up every season he played in Tampa.  Crab claw stealin mufker...
