Mebane re-signed

[Lone Bolt]

I doubt we signed him to a pricey deal. As for the bolded part, maybe the team accommodated him because it was the right thing to do?

Spot on

Exactly my point...I will concede that Jones might man that 3 tech at times, but thought he was the future inside...I only get redzone, so I don't get to see a lot of the plays, I just assumed Jones was rotating inside with Mebane a lot...if it wasn't him, then who was? Square?

It was Square. Which is why I don't mind bringing him back either since he provide valuable depth at the NT and DE position (he filled in when Bosa was out).

Leadership.

Toughness.

Got to keep his reps down, but still legit in a limited roll.

Gus loves to mix up looks.
This is why I like a specialized tool like
DreMont Jones or Gerald Willis.

There be skeletons in that dudes closet....sat out 2 full seasons? Altercations with team mates and coaches led to transfer, sat out the other year due to personal reasons? I'm all for second chances, but I wouldn't spend our first on him...talent is worth a look in the second, but I hope we do the homework before selecting him. Intriguing talent, I'll grant you...but risky.

That's because the Browns do only have a couple of years left before Baker gets paid. I would also hope that given the 60+ million they have, they would at least try to reach the floor that every team is required to meet.

Since the CBA in 2011, most teams making a run at a championship( excluding the Cheatriots) are ones that have a QB on a low dollar contract, allowing them to spend $$$$$$'s on other positions.
Unfortunately, we're not in that group and probably won't make a legitimate run any time soon.
Still, Bolts are fun/frustrating to watch.

Willis had a clean 2018.
Interviews and investigation would be vital.
He is slotted for us @60.
A possibility only.
Khalen Saunders,
mostly a 1Tech,
but with some 3Tech traits,
is a riser and a strong possibility there.

It's not impossible. You just need to hit on your draft picks like the Saints did in 2017.

Hope we re-sign Jason V really like him covering the slot WRs when healthy (Edelman)

I was hoping to see him play the first quarter of the first preseason game before he goes down with a season ending bunion on his foot.

FoutsFan doesn't miss a trick. Will keep the hits coming. Ignores the rare miss and just keeps shooting.

Quality.

Bingo.

Not sure I'd classify TT as "killing it." The Browns are killing it. They're the ones acting like their franchise QB only has another couple of years left so let's go for broke. Looks like TT is banking on his guys coming back and staying healthy, which is a good start. But they also need to be effective.

No they don't. They are acting like a team with a QB and several other key premium positions on rookie deals that had 85MM in cap space.
