He will be 33 in July, Not sure it would be wise to invest in a long term contract on a player that old. He is still productive but for most players age equates with more frequent injuries.  

 

Would definitely seem opposite to what the organization is currently doing.  I know we grabbed vets (i.e. Cotchery) but he is a piece of the puzzle whereas Johnson would likely be viewed as a star and be paid as such.  I dont think this would work based on our current trajectory.  I truly believe we want to create the future stars of the league rather than depend on those that have already achieved that status.

Just don't think that D.G wants a player with a little age and one that could be a "distraction" as far as grooming K.B. ( the future #1 reciever).He already signed vets to mentor the young guys.A.J. Would just bitch and cause waves if he wasn't getting the ball to his liking. Not productive for the WR corps or the locker room...won't happen. You should all know how D.G operates by now....he doesn't like to sign high priced guys that cause any problems or have shown a history of riffs with contracts,etc. Besides if he is unhappy with the scratch he is getting now,he will never be happy here,,,even if we had the money or a GM willing o do it.

      Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
