2019 Browns Off Season/Roster Discussion

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

I guess it depends how you look at it. We have 2 more years on the current CBA, this year and next. For sure the rollover wont matter after that because we will have either a new CBA or a no cap year like last time. Now last time a few teams got in trouble for going crazy in the no cap year, so I doubt that will happen.

So I have no insight into the new CBA and I doubt even Dorsey or Haslam does at this point either. But the rollover is use it or lose it and we had a ton, using a bit more would actually be smart as long as you keep cap flexibility beyond 2 years, ie limit the guaranteed money other than the next 2 years.

I think some the reporters talking about the rollover cap and be careful when using it are short sighted as the current CBA has been in place since 2011 and the idea of rollover cap was important especially since there was no end around the corner of the current CBA years ago.

I think Dorsey is going for it now because he really has the pieces and the cap room that soon will be gone once a new CBA is negotiated. Also the only big free agent contract Dorsey has given out was Sheldon Richardson, everything else has been trades that where financially responsible like trading an expensive guard for a semi expensive edge, and getting a long term signed Odell when most of the guaranteed money is already paid by NYG.

I've got no issue with what we've done so far.

If anyone tries to make it sound like we're 40 million under the cap, I'll break their kneecaps.

Pretty sure they tendered him so he's coming back for at least a year

He's going out to find out his own market value. The expectation is he gets a multi-year contract from someone and the Browns match it.

If he doesn't find a multi-year contract he and his agent like, he'll come back and play the 1 year tender at just over 2 million dollars as a "prove-it" deal.

If Perriman got 4 million, no way his one year deal is only 2 million, some team will give 4 mill for 1 year and a 5th round pick for Higgins.
 
Tab this for later. Will be injecting it directly into my veins when they win the SB

The Chiefs freed up 24m alone last off-season by trading Alex Smith and releasing Tamba Hali and Ron Parker. Anthony Hitchens' contract was backloaded- he was only a 3.5m cap hit last year; jumps to 11m this year. So was Watkins- 7.5m last year, jumps to 19 and 21m this year and next. The Rams also dealt Marcus Peters who was in line for an extension.

It wasn't Browns fans who said Dorsey didn't manage the cap well, it was the stories that came out after he was fired. Dial up Albert Breer and KC writers on Twitter if you feel this was an errant position for them to have ever held. Like I said before, Dorsey isnt the first 'football guy' to struggle w the cap; he isnt even the first Browns GM/football guy to do this either. I guess we find put in the next 2 years if he learned any lessons.

And despite all of that, the Chiefs still somehow managed to be a drive away from going to the Super Bowl, even with the star RB indefinitely suspended. Teams can move on from players all the time, just like we kicked Collins to the curb this year. Seems to me that he managed it just about perfectly. Being able to ship off players at the right time and still be super competitive.

I have even less worry about it because Paul Depodesta is still around.
 
Has there been any movement with Higgins?

I understand WR is less of a need, but don't want to lose him and Perriman.
 
William Hill US sportsbook opened the Browns at o/u 8.5 wins for this coming season. I feel like that’s easy money.

-175 to make the postseason
+155 to miss
 
Cowherd’s little radio sidekick is pretty hit though.

Can we get a quality kicker?

Some FA:
Gostowski
Parkey
Dan Bailey
Catanzaro
Forbath

Make Gostowski the top paid K in the league.. who says no to that? After what we went through early in the season losing games directly because of kickers.. I sometimes think franchises underestimate the importance of them. I'd bet he isn't going anywhere, but I'd certainly try...
