very meh, surprised we went after him, irc he is more of a standup guy than hand in dirt. I hope this isn't the plan to address vernon departure. I think he's pretty good against the run though.
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday. -John Wayne
About what I expected. Now we’ll draft a DE .. and I still think we sign a CB
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
Speaking of Vernon, I wonder if there's any thoughts in Berea of bringing him back on a low-level look-see contract? Achilles ruptures have 4-6 month rehab, so maybe he could contribute next season if his rehab is successful.
Pretty good deal for the money...the guy has talent, and is still pretty young.
Need to get him healthy, and get his weight situation figured out. From what I remember, he showed up to the Falcons last year at a lean 250lbs. Need to get him back up to 270.
I don't think this stops us from making another move. Maybe we still sign Clowney, or we resign OV? Or we draft a DE early.
Yeah, if nothing else, as a 1-year deal, this isn't a solution to anything; this is a stop-gap and it really only addresses the loss of Claiborne. We still need to replace Vernon.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.
1 year up to 4M. Looks like the Clayborn replacement to me. Probably a designated pass rusher with his body type. Low risk on a former 1st rounder. Why not?
You mess with the "Bull," you get the horns. Fiercely Independent.

He's definitely not gonna be Mr. Stout Against the Run. At 6'2", 230lbs, he's little.
Was watching some videos of him in Atlanta and it definitely looked like they had him put on a lot of weight. Not sure what weight he'll play at for us. I was surprised how beefy he looked.
I have seen a few numbers thrown out as far as the contract. I'm curious to see what the "real" number is come tomorrow.

It's not as exciting as the Johnson signing ... for sure. I'll wait and see what they do before deciding if this is a let down. I'm hopeful they will address this position and Takk will be depth/situational.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Folks keep talking about going after a DE in the draft as we are passing on the big name/big money FA's .. I keep asking what DE in this years draft class our you referring to in range of 26 ?

We won't know until draft day gets here. Oweh is the one I have circled in pencil. I think he goes higher, but he's in the 30s or even lower on some big boards.
Other than the sacks he looks a lot like Von Miller at A&M to me. Still has technical development to catch up on, but he's a specimen, and young.
I hope teams pass on him due to this season's lack of sacks, but I'm not holding my breath. He'll probably end up a Steeler or Raven.

However, I dislike the move. The Raiders passed on this guy to sign Ngakoue.
There are no other FA options now at DE.
That forces them to go to the draft. That is not good planning. It puts you in a position to reach for a position in the draft.
Instead of letting the draft just play to you. Before FA started the Browns were in a BPA position in the draft. Sit back let it play out take the best player.
DE outside of quarterback is the premier position. You have to create pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
Berry knows this. We let good talent get away. I know the dollars were high. But the reason is clear. Pass rushers are expensive.
Now we are in a box. We have to go after a DE as an investment. We may have to trade up. We may have to let a better player go by because of need.
Carlos Dunlap, Jadaveon Clowney, Ryan Kerrigan, Justin Houston, and others may not be top tier, but they're plenty good and they are still available. You can't spend double digit millions at every position.
Look this guy was once a 1st round pick, he was highly thought of, we didn't break the bank to sign him, maybe this will be the place he shines I mean he does have Garrett on the other side to take the pressure off of him
John 3:16 Jesus said "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
I have heard some of the talking heads speak about his guy like he could be good with a fresh start and in the right situation. I hope our front office has a handle on the discontent in Atlanta coupled with the "failed" physicals in Cincinnati and San Francisco. And then the Raiders deciding not to activate him when they had the chance.
