Odell Beckham Jr has signed for the Browns. Wowsers. Giants get the Browns’ first (17) and third round picks and Jabrill Peppers. RIP Saquon.

Wow. Technically this improves the Browns. I’ll won’t hold my breath on that one.
Blimey. As a Browns fan I should be pleased, but it's a bit like Brighton signing Michael Owen (when he was still playing). Big marquee signing that everyone's heard of, but will he upset the team dynamic? Is our basic (telegraphed) game plan going to be 'get the ball to Beckham whenever possible?' And will he stay injury-free?

Go Jags
Free agency seems to have gone a bit mental this year (maybe I just wasn't following it closely enough last year) and there's a tonne of money being thrown around. Beckham, Brown, Bell and Foles should all improve the teams they've joined although in most those cases that's not difficult. Think The Eagles getting in Malik and Desean Jackson is a good bit of business too.

Much the same as you mate! After so many years of misery (dilly dilly!) I cant help but think its all going to blow up in our faces. Always thought OBJ is a bit of a dick if Im honest but, hes ours now - & I'll be hoping he, Landry, Calloway, Perriman, & (fingers crossed) Higgins, will be the #1 receiving unit in the NFL. Bit disappointed to lose Peppers in the deal as I thought he made big improvements last season - but Im reading this morning that we are also working on a 3 yr deal for Earl Thomas which would be another big statement from Dorsey. If it happens, I hope Thomas is over his injury problems of last year & returns to the field as good a player as before.
Do we think Patriots will be in the SB again?

It would seem so....
Top odds to win the Super Bowl at @superbookusa:
Chiefs & Pats — 6/1
Saints & Rams — 8/1
Browns & Packers — 14/1
Browns now at 7-1 with some bookies. Crazy days.

I’m quite surprised by some of the negativity from Jags fans surrounding Foles’ arrival, it’s almost like they’ve forgotten how bad Bortles was last season.

Instant contender again in my opinion. I think hes proved his doubters wrong by now, & the Jags have a great chance to get back to winning ways almost immediately.

LOL. Le'Veon Bell signs for The Jets for less money than The Steelers were offering him last year.

Well, he’s a definite upgrade over Bortles, still need some parts offensively, but there’s no way we’ll be as bad as last year.

A lot of players have departed thus far in FA. Gronk still hasn't made a call and Josh Gordon is still a question mark.
Plenty to do to fill out the roster with not a lot of cap space to do it.

I thought Josh Gordon was out of the NFL, period?

I'm pretty sure he was just suspended by Pats and not fully removed from the team. Whatever happened, he ended the season with a Superbowl Ring

Firstly, very pleased to see the annual NFL thread appear.
A perfect day for it with OBJ's signing. Certainly a statement of intent by the Browns.

Interesting
I see the Browns are taking Earl Thomas now too
* Cough cough *...post #5....
Browns have also added Demetrius Harris. Solid blocking TE from KC, & another player Dorsey knows well.

Sorry, my bad.
Do you see a role for Duke Johnson this season? He seemed to be splitting his snaps between RB and WR last season, with Hunt and OBJ in the house he could see his playing time diminished further. Could do with a guy like him in JAX if Yeldon goes elsewhere.

I know a few Giants fans who are not happy he is now part of the Dawg Pound. I think it's a good move, he gets out of the Giants and their misplaced loyalty to Manning. They've had 8 wins in the last 33 games and he joins a club on the up led by Baker Mayfield with a very competent GM, John Dorsey. Also Jarvis Landry is OBJ's best mate.
Beckham can come over as bit of a knob, but I think some of that is borne out of frustration with the rest of his team. Make no mistake, on his day he is a great wide receiver.

I would love to see Duke in a more prominent role, & have said so right from his rookie year. Such a talented ball player, & Miami U's All Time leading rusher when drafted, but hes not getting the reps, or recognition, he deserves IMO. I did read the other day that he had deleted a load of Browns stuff from his social media - whether this is true or not I dont know - but it wouldn't surprise me to see him used as trade bait over the next few days...unfortunately. As much as I hate to say it, he would probably be better off out of there...if he does stay in Cleveland he will have yet another frustrating season I reckon.
