Top inside linebackers have really dried up quickly. Joe Schoebert is on his way to Jax on a 5 year deal averaging just under $11M per season.
Really hope the Ravens use a second to trade up and snag Patrick Queen. If you can't get the real Corey Littleton, might as well get the draft version.
I'm always quite a bit puzzled by what the Browns do in FA.
The only thing I would be doing as GM of that team is to add a bunch of OLineman and then load up the defense. If you can't win with a QB on a rookie deal, Jarvis Landry, OBJ, and two very good RBs on offense, I don't see what adding more bodies will do.
I like the signing of Conklin, but then they go and spend a boatload on Austin Hooper, while letting their two best linebackers walk in FA for comparable or smaller amounts.
AND... assuming they're flattening the structures of the Hooper and Conklin deals, they still have like $30-35M in cap space remaining after adding those two. More than enough to keep Schobert or Kirksey (or both) if they wanted to. I understand maybe you don't think these are market value guys, but at some point, how do you expect to upgrade your defense?
Still need a LT most likely in that process also, which is likely where their first round pick will be spent.
Just blows my mind with their decision making sometimes.
