2017 Browns Off Season Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
If the Seahawks are really interested in trading Richard Sherman than the Browns should be all over that.

Depends on the system Williams wants to run. Sherman is strongest in zone, especially Cover 3. Seahawks use it more than most teams, usually staying away from man coverage. Is that what Williams wants?

Sherman traveled against all the top WR's though. He's also really good in man coverage when they play it.

Nobody plays less man coverage than Seattle, which makes it very hard to know if Sherman really is a top cornerback in man coverage, or if he is a system guy for zone coverage who gets away with weak man coverage due to the element of surprise. I personally don't know... I'd need their man defense isolated in film. I can tell you that dropping three defensive backs deep and dropping four linebackers into coverage couldn't be more different in responsibilities than the blitz packages I saw from the Saints when Williams was there.

Hell no we shouldn't. We don't need a 29 year old CB. Those decline dramatically. We need someone who will be around 4-5 years.

Or you can have both. Trading for Sherman won't stop us from drafting a to CB in this draft.

Or you could...not trade assets for a 29 year old CB who won't be helping this team in two years when his contract is up.

Sherman doesn't rely on athleticism like other elite CB's do. I also don't think the assets that will be needed to acquire him will be that substantial. At best it would be a future 2nd. Most likely scenario is a 3rd round pick. Annnnd we can and probably still would take a CB with one of our first 5 picks. I just don't see his game falling off like most people keep projecting. I like the idea of having an elite CB playing opposite of Haden.

The Seahawks want a high pick and player in exchange, per reports. So it doesn't appear you'd be on board for that.

Nor would I, but I don't see why Seattle would let him go for a 3rd rounder.

It doesn't appear to make any sense.

I don't see why they are even entertaining trading him at all. They have had a lot of injuries in their backfield and I always thought they would move Kam before Sherm because they need to pay Kam sooner. I did see it reported that the compensation wouldn't exceed a 3rd and if a move was going to be made it would be when said team is on the clock. There's not a lot of guys they would probably pick off our roster as a throw in either.

I think they'll keep him in the end but if we are on the clock in the 3rd round and that's all it takes I would pull the trigger. He's too good to pass up at that point.

I guess it would depend on shermans price. Anything more than a 4th would be paying too much. He's just too old at a position that doesn't age well and we're building for the future.
