Fatgerman Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I'm more interested in signing Carl Lawson or Romeo Okwara than most of these aging stars. Personally, if I signed Watt I'd want to cut his snaps in half, playing him primarily on passing downs, on the inside. Same with Von Miller, but on the outside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt can be just as deadly stopping the run. Watt last year was the most doubled and tripled team edge rusher in the league. Garrett was top5 in that. Guess what, one of those have to give. watt is still too good to just limit him. He had more tackles and TFL than Garrett last year and I believe one less QB hit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or go veteran on the front end, then go high upside draft pick who could develop into a starter later or even be good enough to contribute as a specialty player early. That goes for DT as well as DE 2 hours ago, buno67 said: Why? Watt can be just as deadly stopping the run. Watt last year was the most doubled and tripled team edge rusher in the league.

MSURacerDT55 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I'm surprised there isn't any talk of Geno Atkins or Kawaan Short, especially with Ogunjobi likely being gone and Billings taking a year off, and Jordan Elliot only showing limited flashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Browns are in position to do it with where they are at on a rookie QB contract. That seems like a fair price for Gilmore who is 31 years old next season. Not sure how many CBs have played extremely well past 31 years old unless you think he is Charles Woodson type of aging gracefully. An added benefit would be that he would be great to push young guys like Ward, Delpit and Greedy to be their best (hopefully) and teach them a few things to maximize them.

Yep it’s pretty much a 2-3 year move. Which just so happens to line up with our window. I’d do it but we can’t afford Gilmore plus watt.

Yup and I feel much better about finding a good #2/#3 CB in the draft or cheaper in FA I would much rather spend out 1 major move this offseason on DE. I really dont even care if its Watt, Miller, Barrett or Williams just give me one of those 4 and I will be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should not cost as much. Watt and Larrimore would be a nice splash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh really. For some reason I thought he was making like 15M. Then for 7M I’d do it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can also say Watt will see a decrease in wear and tear because one he will be seeing a lot less double and triple teams. He also could see less snaps. Him and Garrett. Garrett and Watt could see more rest during the game because we know their will be at least one legit DE on the field. Could allow them to see more pitch counters in the 1st 2nd and 3rd QTR and unless them both in the 4th. Im just not going to handicap Watt into just being a3rd down specialist. 11 hours ago, MSURacerDT55 said: I'm surprised there isn't any talk of Geno Atkins or Kawaan Short Short has only played 5 games in 2 years. He is going to be 32 I believe. You wanna talk about a dude who ate up a lot of wear and tear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
