Do this:
Sign Kirk Cousins (5/125mil)
Sign Malcolm Butler or Trumaine Johnson (5/60mil)
Sign Andrew Norwell (5/60mil)
Sign Allen Robinson (1/15mil) - prove it deal

Trade the #1 overall pick with Denver, NYJ, Miami, or Arizona

Take Saquon Barkley @ #4

There you go, now you have:
1. Franchise QB
2. Franchise RB
3. Improvement on the OL
4. Top WR
5. Top CB

Now fill the gaps the rest of the draft. You already have good pass rushers, you just need to improve WR#2, OL, and DBs.

No not really

Yes they have. They’ve been top 3 in cap space from 2015-2018 and have had the most draft picks in the last 5 years. I can’t believe you’re honestly trying to defend the most disgraceful franchise in the NFL and one of the worst in all of American sports.

I think Cousins can figure something out with Corey Coleman and/or Josh Gordon.

Hopefully their GM is worth his salt. They've had high picks like every year since the early 2000s and they've still remained a bottom feeder.



As far as free agent signings go like someone before me said, such as signing Cousins and Butler, you say that like it's that easy. Those players have to want to go there. Cousins has already said winning is his priority (although he still wants to be paid). The Redskins front office is incompetent and threw the middle finger at Cousins multiple times, that's why Cousins wants out. They're the worst out there other than the Browns, so why would he want to go there? Browns can give him a blank check but there are better teams out there that can pay him well too which is where I think he'll ultimately be. I don't see him going to Cleveland.

don't forget they also took a 28 year old QB in the first round by the name of Brandon Weeden

Two key hires away from respectability, a top notch GM and an above average QB. Saints were in this position for years til Jim Finks came along.

So glad that idiot Haslam didn’t end up buying the Titans. Would rather have the team move.

Maybe Haslam can run his teams coaching search next time.

the ONLY AND I MEAN ONLY problem with the browns is the ownership is totally clueless and incompetent, even the most goober retard could have figured out by now to just hire "some one" who knows football and let them take over team management to hire a good GM and go from there.

much like jerry jones in dallas, when an owner has an inflated idea of how good he can run a team the team never goes anywhere. the difference is jerry hired better people so he has more success but he wont give up meddling so they dont get better.

the browns have had a ton of picks and had a top 10 pick in what feels like the last ten years and yet they cant do better then they have is very telling

To be exact, the Browns have 127 mill in cap space. Lets see what they do in FA before we even discuss the draft.

Let's say they sign Cousins and draft Barkley. How may wins do they get next year?



Funny you should say this. I heard a interview a few weeks ago with Joe Thomas. He was asked what he would do if he was the GM in regards to draft and free agency. This was literally the first thing he said. Sign Cousins and draft Barkley. He then added a few other things he would do. He is probably the smartest guy in that organization. They should fire the GM and make him the first ever GM / Player.

I agree.

Fire all coaches.
Move the team
Demolish the stadium
Change the nickname of the team
Outfit new team with new uniform colors.

Trade any valuable players for draft picks.

Throw 12 million a year salary to Bill Belicheck .

Win super bowl in 4 years.
