The Browns want to be us so bad...

[*ochocincos*]

Browns are notorious for overpaying for vet FAs and they (the team) end up coming up short all the time.
If they want to overpay for Bengals FAs, that's fine. Bengals have shown they can find good enough (or even better) replacements than the guys who depart.

I am a bit surprised to hear they might be in on Hurst though, as they have Njoku.
I guess they would plan to run a lot of 12 personnel in that case.

Regardless, they'll have to restructure and/or cut some guys in order for them to be in on anyone, as they're $12.6 mill OVER the cap right now.
I just don't see that happening. They can't move on from Watson, Garrett, Cooper, Teller, Chubb, Bitonio, Njoku, Ward, or Conklin.
I think they will focus more on the draft for replacements/upgrades with all those guys on veteran contracts.
Heck, that's an amazing core of guys there anyway, they shouldn't need to dive further into FA.
Learn to draft better, Browns.
