Who in a Brown's uniform with that name of Marecic on the back were you watching that you thought he blocked well??????????
Apparently this poster has never seen Terrell Smith or Lawerence Vickers. Those guys know how to block. There's someone else out there that can replace Marecic for sure.
I'm sure Marecic is a swell guy, but the swing player from Stanford has gotta go
Apparently this poster doesn't know how to read. Read my full post before you go and make a comment.

No, he doesn't. If I have to see Richardson beat him to the LOS again this year I'll... I'll... make empty, pointless threats at a computer screen.
That was the single worst play I've ever seen from a professional football player.
Marecic might be the single worst player in Browns History
Who in a Brown's uniform with that name of Marecic on the back were you watching that you thought he blocked well??????????
Owen got blown up and pushed back more often than he laid a decent block. There is zero way any of our RB's have any faith or trust in him. In addition, I think he's dropped the ball virtually every time he has had it thrown to him, regardless of it being a good/decent/bad pass. He is a wasted spot on the field, a wasted spot on the roster (seeing he doesn't even really show up on special teams) and he was a wasted pick.
As stated, he def makes his case (although I wouldn't agree) to be the single worst player in Brown's history.
ALL JMO, of course...
Pretty stoked I was able to turn a FA thread into a Marecic thread. Viva La Marecic!

I'll be very interested in the terms. I wouldn't have been too comfortable paying over $5.5 Million for him tops (generous estimate, too). Call me old fashioned, but I like my tight tends to be able to catch AND block.

I like Cameron...I don't know that he is a quality starter at this point in his career as he hasn't made the plays nor has he stayed healthy but I think he is a viable change of pace type of TE....the kind that if he grows into an offense "could" be a matchup nightmare down the road....he is athletic I could see him consistently getting open against a WLB or the SS if they try to roll him down

It'll be interesting to see how our possible draft may go post FA period. Enough holes filled to go a different direction rather than the DE, OLB that we craved?
Milliner wont get by DET or Philly either. Although DET may need to back fill from Avrils possible loss.

What is the current list of FA's we've signed?
Kruger and Bryant?
So far, I'm impressed with the way this front office has handled the off season. Now if they add a Tier 1 CB FA, and hit on the 1st Round Pick, then I'll really be impressed.
Nice to see the Browns go after some talent in needed places.

CB next, not sure who. I know Cason & Munnerlyn are rumored, as was Rodgers-Cromartie. As well, Sean Smith was rumored to not have any interest from the Browns. I'm not sure I see us spending the kind of money that I think Rodgers-Cromartie might get, so I'll say Cason or Munnerlyn. Cary Williams or Chris Houston would also be interesting, but I haven't seen any rumors on those guys tied to Cleveland.
Frankly, I'd like to see us get Sam Shields. He has a 2nd round tender - maybe we can offer up Colt and a 3rd next year for him and see if they bite. Or offer up just next year's 2nd. I'd be ok with Keenan Lewis as well, but at the right price. 1 year as a starter,,,

I'm surprised no one has brought up.... Shane Lechler, - I think he has a tie to the Browns. I could be wrong though.

Just a general comment here .....
I am watching what the Dolphins are doing, and they really have me puzzled.
They dump Dansby to add Ellerbe. Dansby is a pretty solid MLB in his own right. He is getting older, so maybe that's the reason there.
They also give a guy like Wallace a deal worth somewhere between $11 - $13 million per year. Wallace is a talented deep threat ..... but he's not an all around receiver. He is a guy who runs down the field, period. He's not going to run slants and crosses. He's a deep threat, but really "just" a deep threat. I know that sounds strange .... but he has to learn to be more, and I don't know if he can do that.
They made a splash ...... but hopefully for them, it's not disguising a thud.

I'd be content with Cason at CB...Keller at TE...Phillips at FS..this team can be strong rather quickly

GM in the last year of his contract under pressure to make a splash. He way overpaid for Wallace, but Wallace wasn't gonna come cheaply. He and the market have overvalued him.
Frankly, I'm disappointed we didn't beat them out for Ellerbe. If he was going anywhere (I'm shocked the Rats couldn't get it done) I wanted it to be here. 
Say what you will about them, they should be valid contenders in their division and vying for a playoff spot in December if Tannenhill can step up.

Agree 100%. Despite what others are saying... Ellerbe's contract was not that outrageous. Would have been extremely doable for us given our cap situation. Would have much rather had Ellerbe than Bryant.

They definitely put a piece in place for Tannehill. He better show something this year. I have to laugh when I read Pete Prisco write about how much greater a receiver Wallace is than Harvin, because he has a higher yards/catch average. Wallace has had Roethlisberger throwing to him for what .... 5 years now? Harvin has had Favre for one great year ...... then really bad Favre for a year ..... then Ponder for a couple of years. (plus a broken down McNabb thrown in for good measure) Gee ...... so Wallace, with one of the best downfield passers in the NFL .... a guy who will fight till the final second and beyond to get the ball out deep ...... he has a better yards/catch than Harvin, who has dealt with junk at QB? Really? Incredible. Whoda thunk it?

don't forget that Miami also re-signed Moore. That was pretty big as QB depth is important too.
Ellerbe was a good signing for the money (and to get him away from the Ravens for us)
Wallace's contract looks too high (never know with how GMs structure these things unless we see the details). I do like that Pitt told him he'd never get that much and gave the contract they offered him to Antonio Brown (who isn't worth $8mil/year). And, he got the contract he wanted (proving them wrong).

Disagree here, no way we could have afforded to dish out 3x7-8mil contracts to front 7 players and another DE was as big of a need as a 2nd ILB imho. Winn is as much a ?? as JMJ imho and both are best served to be developed as no3 rotational guys/spot starters...I'm sure we will go with a solid 2nd tier guy at ILB like D.Connor, Burnett or B.Jones....what would have been better? Ellerbe+DeVito or Bryant+Burnett/Connor? I like both and money should be around the same, it's a wash and DL have more value than ILB, so I'm ok with signing Bryant over Ellerbe...both are above AVG to good (but not elite) players at their positions and imho Bryant has more untapped upside left (but a lower floor due to off field stuff too)

I agree, but corners know they might be "THE" skill position on defense. The demand is always high, so it would be rather foolish to not talk to a few clubs.

Per Schefter & Mary Kay on Twitter - Browns to sign Panthers FA TE Gary Burnidge. Probably as a backup. They are also speculating that they're interested in Fred Davis as well...

I think there's something different going on this year. There are actually a LOT of good FA Corners available this year. Perhaps one of the best years ever for Free Agent Cornerback availability. Corners usually get overpaid. I think most of these corners are trying for the usual paydays but I think right now they're feeling the effects of the High Supply out there so you haven't seen any of the big time CB's sign yet. I still think the Browns get one of the top CB's available though.. but it may take a few days for Agents to realize this is a different type of market for CB's this year..

Gary Barnidge (Panthers TE) could be joining BrownsGary Barnidge could be joining Browns Posted by Mike Wilkening on March 13, 2013, 10:43 AM EDT The Browns appear poised to add to their options at tight end. Free agent Panthers tight end Gary Barnidge is “expected to sign” with Cleveland, Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer reported Wednesday. This is a logical pairing. New Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski, the Panthers’ offensive coordinator the last two seasons, is familiar with the 27-year-old Barnidge. The sixth-year pro from Louisville caught six passes for 78 yards and one TD in 2012 for Carolina.

btw...NFL Network reported we have come to agreement w/Groves - add him to the list: Kruger, Bryant n Groves.
Almost all top tier FA will be overpaid. Kruger actually will be a terrible signing or a Great signing cause of his lack of playing time. Long term great player - Great signing! One year wonder - terrible signing. We will find out. 
DE...we needed two more...now we need one more. Good pick
Groves...I don't think we wanted to rest our year on Sheard making the transition. Now he can be developed or traded.
TE's anyone w/list of TEs gone n who is left? That was the surprise run in FA - Most teams going in the TE direction that Pats have made. Us we got Cameron who I love in potential but not here yet? We need more...
Wallace??? Fitz, yes...Wallace??? over payment but then again we are talking about WR the most over rated position in football I also think 7 mil a year for Levitre an ok-good OG nothing "GREAT" over payment...hey give me a 3rd round pick Long
JMHO - I like waht we have done so far

Sounds like a backup TE to me. Not our final solution at TE at all

What I was thinking. Do we get another in FA? I like the guy from Oakland.
I'm all for drafting one as long is its not a reach.

I just don't see us drafting a starting TE in the 3rd round.
So I'm thinking has to be a FA. I'd like Dustin Keller. Is he still available. Had a down season last year, and has health issues sometimes, but he is the modern TE. Runs routes, good hands, fast, doesn't create issues in the lockerroom. He isn't hte greatest blocker, but that improves over a guy's career

Yep... simply a backup. The previous two signings of Groves & Barnidge are simply cheap pickups that new coaches wanted to bring along from their previous stop. Not much more than that. Although I will say Groves DID have his best year as a pro last year under Horton.. so we'll see.
Still need to get going on a top notch CB out there... plenty to choose from. And it still looks more & more to me that Sheard is going to be the odd man out.
