Well, the first wave of free agency has passed, and the Browns didn't jump in. It appears to me that the Browns don't have a lot of room under the cap to sign high-priced free agents.
Leaving: Kellen Winslow, Joe Jurevicius, Jason Wright, Audra Davis. Is Braylon Edwards next? Next year is a contract year, and it appears that Braylon doesn't want to sign with the Browns again. So, why keep him around when we could get something for him this year? I know...we don't have a lot of quality WRs on the roster. But, if we rely on Braylon's potential, we might as well trade him for draft picks. And if I remember correctly, Braylon couldn't even catch a cold last season. Is Donte Stallworth leaving? After his accident, no one knows his future. Lastly, many experts believe that one of the QBs will be traded. Well, stay tuned.
Arriving: If you don't know by now, we have signed plenty of former NY Jets. One sports writer actually called our team the Cleveland Jets. For instance, we signed David Bowens, LB; Eric Barton, LB; Hank Poteat, CB; and C.J. Mosely, DE. In addition, we signed former Raven, Corey Ivy, CB; Noah Herron, RB; and Bills, Robert Royal, TE. We even bolstered our "O" line with the Bears, John St. Clair, and Seattle's Floyd Womack. Quietly, our team is coming together. Or, is it? Shaun Rogers did not show up for a mini-camp/workouts.
Who's Left: Well, there are plenty of free agents left, and we could use the help at DB, LB, and at WR. Here are some free agents who are still available: Lawyer Milloy, S; Mike Brown, S; Mike McKenzie, CB; Rosevelt Colvin, LB; Brandon Lloyd, WR; Shaun McDonald, WR; and Michael Boulware, S. I'm sure that I missed some names, but these guys caught my eye.
Lastly, there are some old vets out there, but I'm not sure how much is left in the tank. For instance, do you want Torry Holt, Marvin Harrison, Derrick Brooks, Patrick Surtain, Chris McAllister, Samari Rolle, Jeff Garcia, Amani Toomer, or Jon Runyan?
