Policy indicates "quiet offseason"


I guess it depends on what quiet means to you. If it means dismantling the defense, then you can hear a pin drop. But Policy did have a few insights into what the team is pursuing:


  1. there probably won't be a big name free agent signing; the team would consider spending such money only for a player who would be around for a while
  2. C Brown will likely restructure, though the Browns have not yet pursued it. Maybe they are waiting to see how he recoups from surgery? If so, I'd think they'd be waiting a while...
  3. Policy is vague on Couch -- they aren't ready to restructure (which is convenient, since Couch has said he won't), and they expect the situation to clear up after the mini-camps.
  4. despite what Miller has said in the media, the team is trying to resign him. It sure seems that Policy likes Miller a lot more than Butch does...
  5. they are trying to resign Earl Little. I'm all for this.
  6. they'll pursue a long-term deal with Jamel White, but probably not until after the draft.
  7. the team has 1.5 Mil cap room, and needs are least 2 Mil more to sign draft choices. Plus they need to clear room for ANY free agents (including their own, like Miller, Little and White).
  8. oh yeah, Policy is close to a deal with Randy Lerner to remain president and CEO.
