So much for big free-agent splashes
Looks like the Browns are imposing a salary cap on themselves, following the Steelers’ lead as we approach an uncapped year leaguewide.
In other words, don’t expect new president Mike Holmgren to start throwing owner Randy Lerner’s money around without careful thought. In other words, don’t expect any major runs at Julius Peppers, Karlos Dansby, etc.
In an interview this week with the Lake County News-Herald, Holmgren said he intends to build through the draft while being “very selective” in free agency, echoing just about every previous Browns executive who has walked through the door in Berea.
“I think that’s how you build it,” Holmgren told the newspaper. “We’re not going to do things a whole lot different than what has been done in the past.
“We’re going to do what we think is best for the Cleveland Browns. If that means signing somebody in free agency, we’re going to do that. We’re going to do what we think is best, but also be responsible.”
Yep, looks like a long rebuild. Anyone think otherwise?
