Dont worry browns fans. Holmgren says be patient. We dont need any of these guys. He promises a winner by 2022.

Rachal was Snyder’s backup, and he sucked. Snyder can also play every position on the line. This is probably why he got signed already and Rachal hasn’t. Whenever he got put in a game because of injuries, Niner fans around the world simultaneously facepalmed.

He looks like a beast, but he doesn’t know how to pace himself and he has limited football smarts.

He routinely over pursued on blitzes and edge coverage.

He blew numerous tackling attempts, even easy tackles where he had guys in his grasp but allowed them to squirm away. His biggest problem is trying for a vicious hit. He goes for the big hits when he’s the last man in coverage and either misses entirely or doesn’t take the guy down. He doesn’t wrap up his targets.

Finally, he’s terrible in coverage. He bites on every double move and he’s far too slow to make up for his mistakes. He was perfect when he was healthy and had Sean Taylor with him. They played one deep because Taylor was a monster. He could go from one side of the field to the other to break up a play or make a pick. Landry could play low as an extra linebacker. With more conventional players and schemes Landry’s been out of place. He’d be a perfect fit for the Jets and their overall dysfunction.

How is Vince Young on the list? After watching him for 6 or so years and seeing Rich Eisen run the 40 I say you take ol’ bricks for brains off the list and put Eisen; undrafted rookie from the University of Michigan.

Special bonus is that he isn’t on a team right now so anyone can pick him up before 4PM!

_____________________________________

Rich Eisen would have to declare for the draft, if he went undrafted he would be free to sign with a team. He has fulfilled the requirement of three seasons having passed since his senior year of high school.

Peyton needs to sign in san fran already, if i was Peyton i would want to play there just to be a part of that QB legacy.

Also im an Eagles fan and have seen plenty of Trevor Laws and this guy doesn’t deserve to be on this list . Just swap his name with Derek Landri who was a beast last year .

And then figure out which team scored the highest… Because, obviously, that’s all the matters…

Right Dan?

SD overpaid for Meachem who has never had 40+ receptions in a season.

Overall a good list but also surprised that Red Bryant, David Hawthorne, and London Fletcher were not top 40 FAs.

Players tend to stay with them, and they dump the players that aren’t working out. I am loving it, and look forward to what people say at the end of this season.

This is just a helpful tool to fallow free agents.

Honestly, if I made this list, I would have put Manning somewhere between 20 – 30. No one knows where he is in recovery. What a circus for a guy who could get hit just right in his first game back and be done forever. I have the utmost respect for him, but COME ON MAN

Just kidding, he’s awesome and all (Westfield High School, woo!) but this list is freaking awesome.

Chad Henne is #52, ahead of a QB who made the NFC Championship Game? I’m guessing glue takes up 50% of PFT’s office supply budget.
