My favorite is Jabaal Sheard.

I think, opposite Daniels, he would be a great upgrade to our defense.

Especially if Datone continues his bust trajectory.

This is a big if FA signing. IF we do not sign Cobb. I would be interested in seeing us sign Wes Welker on a short term deal. The guy does not have a ring and I wonder if he would sign at a cheaper price to play with Rodgers. The guy has had Tom and Peyton and didn't get his ring, why not give Aaron a try? I am not sure if he is fast as he used to be, but his hands are great and could be that clutch 3rd down reception guy.

The guy has a shot at the HoF and think a ring would help solidify his vote in.

Bulaga, Cobb, Williams, House, Raji.

Ngata and/or Suh would be interesting, but those guys won't get signed.

I don't think Cobb is a lock to return either. He may be disgusted with the way this team pissed away yet another season, in particularly epic fashion. But I expect Davante to be ready.

I would say sign your own first and then I would target someone like Jason Pierre-Paul and groom him to replace Julius Peppers next season.

Some speed from Torrey Smith would be nice

I'm not that big a fan of signing Sheard... Especially not the way you like him, as he's a 260lb OLB in the Browns' 3-4 system.

I figure he'd play OLB with us, as well. From both a skill and production standpoint, looking at the last two years, I don't know why we'd want to take him over Perry. Both are, at this point, better as rotational players.

With aforementioned Perry on the roster, as well as Neal and Peppers most likely sticking around for another year, I'd rather have a high potential guy to groom than another decent player.

Or, maybe even better, cut ties with Peppers and get a guy like Houston in, but that's more of a Madden dream than a viable scenario. Especially since he'll most likely be tagged.

Of what I read here, the only one that sounds good to me is Pierre-Paul, who I think is in a valley in his career and maybe due to get back near what he used to be. OLB is not a position of need, but I'd rather have him than Sheard. If we got either, it would probably mean letting Peppers go. I haven't studied the list that much, but another name I've heard is Bruce Carter - an ILB who also seems to be in a valley - was better, dropped off, and may get back to where he was. As for the actual thread title, it SCREAMS Suh.

I wouldn't mind someone like Bruce Carter from Dallas. I was a fan during the draft a few years ago and while he hasn't really lit it up since then he'd likely still be a decent upgrade to what we've had at ILB lately.

We had a thread on him a few weeks back, but I think Jordan Cameron could be an interesting risk/reward type FA. Injury concerns, but a pretty big body TE who has pretty great stats for being a Brown.

I am hoping for more competition at the TE position this year. I think R. Rodgers has potential, but as a rookie he really didn't have much in the ways of production that left me comfortable that he will be the man to pick up where Finley left off.

Besides the already discussed Suh and Ngata.

Julius Thomas, Rey Maualuga, Brandon Spikes,
