Empire Lies Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 With MJ Stewart Jr. now being classified as a Safety instead of a CB officially on the roster, the Browns no have 5 safeties and 5 CBs. While we know MJ is likely to still be seen as providing CB versatility, it now seems that CB becomes a front and center position that Andrew Berry likely seeks to upgrade upon via other cuts or trades along with OLine, DE, and to a lesser extent TE.

Empire Lies Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Most talented guys waived thus far: Starter Quality Talent OT, Tyrell Crosby (Lions) CB, Thomas Graham (Bears) WR, Cornell Powell (Chiefs) WR, Travis Fulgham (Eagles) -- Long-term Upside & Immediate Quality Depth OG, Malcolm Pridgeon (Steelers) OG/OC, Willie Wright (Eagles) Crosby was waived injured but he's such a quality player with quality starts it might be worthwhile to sign him then put him on I.R. Thomas Graham and Cornell Powell both have quality starter talent. MalcolM Pridgeon is so athletic and has a feel for the zone scheme as does Willie Wright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titans just cut 4th rounder WR Dez Fitzpatrick who has tons of talent. And they gave up draft capital to move up. It would have to be a rare complete disregard for and egregious violation of the man to man accountability structure of the organization, otherwise it doesn't make much sense. Even in those cases, healthier development environments can help these young guys get to other side of some of their personal issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Powell would be a promising stash. I think somebody will claim him. It won’t be us though unfortunately. I don’t think they are going to create another spot for a receiver at the moment, but his upside would really be worth considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban is on record and is gonna be “investigated” for saying the quiet part out loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I don't think it's any difference from cutting a guy/not signing a guy for being a "poor locker room presence", a "distraction" (Tim Tebow, Kaep), or even potential medical issues in their past that would prevent them from playing, because that's essentially what this is. As one of our coaches loves to say: "Your best ability is availability." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one of our coaches loves to say: "Your best ability is availability." I completely agree. From a purely football/competitive advantage point of view, vaccinated players are less risk. That’s why I find the investigation amusing. Ive wondered that about some of our cuts as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like anything else in sports, you're allowed to be so good and so much of a distraction or liability (sliding scale on the upward right matrix). So, JJ3 is an elite safety and can basically do what he wants, (the same for Lamar Jackson at QB) whereas Cam Newton wasn't good enough to be a starter and therefore likely cut. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, sure, maybe. I do think we have a really talented group though and it’s not going to be easy to improve upon it via the waiver wire or street FA’s. Who could have imagined saying that a year ago? I do think it’s possible we snag someone off waivers and put Delpit on the IR for 3 weeks. Maybe resign Redwine? No point in rushing him.
