Brendan Leister talks Browns pickups – WFNY Podcast – 2013-03-13
I’ve known about Brendan Leister and his work analyzing the Browns for a long time. He’s been active in various capacities for years, in fact. 70,000+ tweets if you need him. Anyway, he doesn’t approach the Browns like a fan, preferring to stick to the technical scouting approach. With that in mind, I wanted to talk to him about the Browns’ signings so far, what it means...

The best defensive free agents available for the Browns
If you want to see what offensive players are available, check out the post from yesterday afternoon.
Joe Banner said yesterday that the Browns likely won’t make any more big moves in free agency, but did say that “with a little luck” they will still add a couple players.
Of course, ‘big moves’ is a little subjective.

Banner Report: The Offensive Line

They have plenty...

So maybe "losing out" is a little bit of a stretch, but the Patriots were pursuing him and at one point were the favorites to sign him. Perhaps the Danny Amendola signing had them a little less interested. Amendola can be a returner too, though not Josh...
