The Brown's are really a bad situation for any QB.

I'm surprised nobody has scooped up D. Young yet.

Ten teams — the Arizona Cardinals, the Cincinnati Bengals, the Chicago Bears, the Denver Broncos, the San Diego Chargers, the Miami Dolphins, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Indianapolis Colts, the St. Louis Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles — do not have a fullback listed on their roster.

For years, the NFL has been shifting toward a pass-dominant league. According to Football Outsiders, teams operated out of the shotgun formation on 61 percent of snaps in 2014, compared to just 20 percent in 2006. Even when quarterbacks are under center, fullbacks are seeing less playing time.

Teams like the Bengals or Colts, which don’t carry a fullback, will line up a tight end as an H-back, slightly offset behind the tackle’s hip, or they’ll motion into the backfield when they feel the need to have a lead blocker. Ryan Hewitt, a second-year tight end from Stanford, is listed on the Bengals’ roster as an H-back. The Bears have a fullback listed on the depth chart, but it’s tight end Zach Miller.

I think DY's skill set will get him a vet min contract w someone this year .. im still amazed that we refused to use him more when we didnt have the TEs to run callahan's TE run scheme .. I still want answers on that one.

Eagles are transitioning to an offense that will use the fullback. They didn't have one on the roster last year.

Perish the thought...

well, it's no like DY would be the key to an iggles super bowl run, so while i like him, his employment status is one big "whatever" in my book.

Browns release Donte Whitner | ProFootballTalk

Another decent vet safety on the market. Gotta believe goldson, Reggie Nelson and whitner are on our radar

[That Guy]

i don't think nelson is, because we haven't heard anything. whitner is definitely interesting, but he probably wants more money than we want to pay... the timing is bad for him though, so maybe there's some value there.

[Irrefutable]

Nelson would be a huge addition. Predicting the Biggest Suitors for Reggie Nelson, NFL's Best Remaining FA Safety | Bleacher Report

Add him to a good defensive draft and the D could be a strength of the team.

Why does Reggie Nelson remain unsigned?

per Mike Jones the Redskins are not interested in Donte Whitner

[dmek25]

rather have whitner then nelson

Raiders D is going to be better next year. The middle of the D for them is pretty stout, and Amerson played well for them (why not us?!) on the back end last year.
