The real question is who in the heck are the Browns going to spend all that money on with all of the big names coming off the market/getting tagged ?

The guy finally gets healthy and we prematurely cut him. Restructure at the least. Bell didn't look ready.

The league allows each team to designate up to two players per year as a June 1 cut for cap purposes prior to June 1. It’s the one concession that was given to the players as it allows a player to be cut in March and have time to explore free agency but have his cap hit spread out over two seasons, thus creating more cap space in the current year. The issue though is the mechanism by which this works.

When you designate someone as a June 1 cut the player and his current contract remain on the books until June 1.


yes, we could get 7.2 freed this year, but that means we carry an extra $4 million into next year. It's deferred, but not eliminated. We are arguing that since we already have $30, why do we need more right now?

Pats will get him on the cheap and he'll be in the hunt for the Superbowl. He'll have 12 ints. this season and possibly a ring.

I don't think that will work out bringing in a bunch of top tier FA's all of a sudden. Too many egos. I bet a lot of that money will still be there.

Re: Saints Will Release Jairus Byrd

Regardless of if his body wasn't what it used to be, one thing I know for sure is this;

Byrd is not a single high safety, he was a ball hawk in Buffalo because they let him do what Ed Reed did in baltimore, roam the secondary and undercut crossing routes. Watch his Buffalo highlights, he plays 10-15 yards from the LOS.

Payton had him playing 25 yards downfield. It's not entirely Byrd's fault, he chased the money like an aging player would and Payton was dumb enough to pay someone 56 mil to use him entirely incorrectly.

I just want to add that Erik Harris was getting a lot of 1st team reps last offseason over Byrd and Bell. Yes I know he's coming off the ACL tear but I think this move has been in the works for a while.

Re: Saints Will Release Jairus Byrd

If the best player on the board at #11 is a safety, do you think we bite? I mean what are the chances that either Jamal Adams and/or Hooker fall to us? The comparisons I've read on these kids are Ed Reed/Darren Woodson type company.

A potential All Pro Safety for years to come in New Orleans? ... I can't wait for the draft.

Desmond King (converted to safety) in the 2nd round or Budda Baker in the 3rd are good options too.
