Guess we're tired of those compensatory picks. rofl

I thought that we were pretty well set at Guard with Bitonio and Greco, but I can't argue with a talent like Zeitler.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He'll make a great addition to our starting unit. Joe, Joel, Tretter/Grecco, Zietler and whoever at RT sounds like a very upgraded unit to me.

Getting the freaking job done. Now, just Pryor, and let us all praise the FO for the job well done this free agency period.

I am starting to think that we might trade away an o-lineman before the draft now. That or keep about 11-12 lineman on the roster.

No one is signing any of our guys to any substantive contracts this year (besides maybe Pryor), so we weren't likely to get any anyway.

Yup. Love the signing of the Center especially. Now Greco can be a utility guy, and Coleman, Drango, and Erving can battle it out for RT.

Makes me feel much better about the O-Line and our situation.

Surprised those two guys would come here

Great point. I had read in a few different places that the overall OL in this draft class isn't that deep. The talent is defensive players. I expect these OL signings to signal LOTS of Def players drafted.

It's a subtle point though. In a year when you wont be eligible for any compensatory picks, make your splash. It's thinking ahead. Or maybe I'm thinking too hard, which hurts my head laugh

AGAIN...someone elses free agent that the front office and owner are willing to "overpay"...yet they refuse to value their own players according to the market place.

I don't give a damn how many free agents the Browns overpay to come to Cleveland...Haslam and Sashi turning their back on Terrell Pryor and what he did for the Browns last season, will not go away.

Pryor earned his pay...none of these free agents have done a damn thing for the Browns.

I really hope we end up re-signing Pryor just so you can chew back those words.

They're not turning their back on him. They made an offer. He wanted a freaking ridiculous number and said no. What else do you want?

Not only that - but as of this afternoon the Browns made THE BEST OFFER PRYOR RECEIVED.

Apparently that's not good enough for Mac !

This thread is to discuss our new guard Zeitler, there are plenty of other threads for you to cry like a kid that dropped their icecream. Save the tantrum for when/if Pryor signs somewhere else. Just enough already, I love debate but i hate whining.

Bitonio does not count in your book right. And free agency is over in your book. Love what FO has done so far, finally we have options/ good ones at that on the O line...wonder if ANY of QBs or RBs feel as you do....Lastly, our young pups from last year SHOULD all improve and we replaced Pryor with a more experienced WR for LESS MONEY....GO Browns!!!

Yep, that was a good one. laugh

I gotta admit, I don't know who Kevin Zeitler actually is, but it is awesome to hear so many of my fellow Browns fans happy about the signing. ((((Yea!!!!)))

Hmmmm. At these prices it sounds like if the FO didn't balk last year Schwartz would have been a bargain signing!


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I am still concerned about RT, but we do have some potential options there. Pasztur (sp) might even be an option, if we re-sign him ... and we also have Coleman, who we drafted last year. I thought I saw someone mention Greco, but I don't think that he fits at T. Maybe they give our failed former Center a shot at RT. Who knows?

Yeppers.

It's interesting that we are pounding the Offense other than Jefferson. And we wisely stayed away from the Top 2 CBs. Heavy duty money. In a weak OL draft we just pounced on 2 starters.

Wise decision in a heavy defensive draft. Safety for 2 rounds deep and CB. Excellent decision making.

Might go for 2nd tier Safeties in Cyprien or Hyde.
