Everyone is talking about the free agents they signed this year, but in the four years prior to going 0-16 last year they signed

Karlos Daansby 4 years $25 million
Andrew Hawkins 4 years $14 million
Donte Whitner 4 years $26 million
CB Tramon Williams 3 year $21 million
Dwayne Bowe 2 yr $13 million
RG3  2yr $15 million
Zeitler 5 yr $60 million
Kenny Britt 4 yr $33 million
OL J.C. Tretter 3 yr $17 million

Lots of people talk about Hue throwing the season to make sure they had good draft position. This is why I don't buy it. They've had good draft position for years. I don't know why the Browns can't put a winning team together, but it's been a team-wide problem for years. Stability probably has something to do with that, but that's just a guess.

Either way, I don't think a ton of more high draft picks makes them any different than the Browns we always see.
