Smart or settling: Is the Browns’ offseason approach right?
from Orange and Brown Talk: Cleveland Browns Podcast · host Cleveland.com - Advance Local
On the latest Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe get into the second wave of the Browns' free agency moves. Mary Kay runs down the list of recent additions, including defensive linemen Kalia Davis and A.J. Epenesa, and they analyzes what these depth signings signal about the team's overall strategy. The discussion then shifts to the bigger picture. With a Super Bowl-caliber defense, are the Browns making a mistake by not being more aggressive to add offensive firepower? They debate whether the team is being wisely pragmatic or potentially wasting a prime window. They explore the wide range of possible outcomes for the upcoming season, the impact of the salary cap and the front office's apparent shift to a draft-and-develop philosophy. Finally, they break down the Browns' unique proposal to the NFL to allow teams to trade draft picks five years into the future. They discuss the NBA-style thinking behind the proposal and how it reflects Andrew Berry's progressive approach to team building.
