White's Future

It's been somewhat overlooked this offseason, but we're slowly getting closer to decision time regarding Jamel White. Will another team make him and offer and give a 1st round pick to sign him? It's unlikely, but the Browns are also unlikely to pay him at the level of the one-year qualifying offer. That means a trade is a possibility. The good news: no cap hit for the team. The bad news: Jamel is a great player for this team and would be sorely missed. The longer the situation remains unresolved, the more it affects the other offseason moves. Personally, I think the best thing that can happen is signing White to a long-term deal now, before making decisions on the draft, free agency or any rumored trades. In fact, I'd venture tha a deal with White may even make the KJ-to-Jets deal a little more likely...
