Open Rants by AlwaysRebuilding

1. No, we are not signing 5 or 6 top free agents this year. This is a pipe dream and not how NFL free agency works. Yes, we have over $100 million in cap space. That is roll-over from previous years, meaning, if we blow all of that this offseason, we will be locked into salary cap hell for the next few years. Even spending half of it would be concerning. This front office is not going to sign high-end free agents. They will look for players whos value will outperform the contract. 

2. Outside of Cameron Erving, the offensive line is fine. Assuming Greco comes back healthy, Drango at RG and Coleman at RT both showed more than enough promise to warrant starting spots for 2017. Joe Thomas at LT, Joel Bitonio at LG, Greco/4th or 5th rounder at C, Drango at RG and Coleman at RT should be what everyone wants to see in 2017. 

3. Upcoming "in-house" contract extensions: Pryor - will require 3-4 year deal at 10 mil per season. Bitonio - will require 4 or 5 year deal at 10 mil per season (or more). Kirksey - 3 or 4 year deal with 5-6 mi per season. Crowell - 3/4yr deal at 5mil per season. If you do the math there, that's 30 million in total cap hit. 

4. Stop concerning yourself about Myles Garrett. The Browns stink and deserve to draft the absolute best player in this year's draft. No, none of the quarterbacks are worthy at no. 1 overall. Do all of the QBs stink? No, but there are far too many question marks with all of them to pass on Garrett. Pass rusher is the second most important position in football, behind quarterback. Our pass rush was virtually non-existent last year outside of Ogbah. 

5. Get over the "hometown boy" narratives. We went through this with Hoyer, and many of you still think he was the answer. He wasn't. And neither is Trubisky. I haven't waited the last 18 years to draft a mid-level NFL QB. If we draft a QB, take the options with upside and hope Hue can work some magic. I'm talking about Mahomes or Kizer here (at 12 overall). 

6. Joe Haden (not Hayden as most of you spell it) is not going to be traded. For anything. His cap hit is too high and no team is giving up anything for him due to his injury history. He's going to be on the roster in 2017 so get over it.
