Browns lose two free agents

Per Schefter, former Browns starting safety Brodney Pool has signed a one year, 1.3 million dollar deal with the New York Jets.

Per John Clayton, Rex Hadnot has signed with the Arizona Cardinals, details not released as of yet.

I don't think anyone here was expecting either one to return, so I wish them well, unless they play us. I think I speak for all of us when I say we wish Brodney the best with his concussion issues.

If you're at the table and you don't see a sucker..... you're it.

Keep your head up on Brodney!!

Hopefully you don’t get another concussion and knock it off.

Hey guys, just checking in to ask your opinion.

Watched a fair bit of Cleveland football over the past few years, and was always impressed with Pool, as soon as he became a FA I said we go after him, and now we have signed him. Whare are your impressions of him having seen a lot more than I have? He always came across as quite a physical guy, who had cover skills as well, kind of person who gave 100%. I saw pro football focus ranked him very highly. Any insight? you think he will mesh well in a Rex Ryan ‘fun’ atmosphere, with Revis/Cromartie and Leonhard back there.

His concussion history should scare everyone. As previously mentioned, I’m actually relieved he signed elsewhere so there’s no possibility of me watching a man die on the field.

he’s a good safety when healthy, but thats too many concussions, he should have retired.

He is solid. he makes big hits mostly out of effort. he really isn’t a true heavy hitter and isn’t great in run support. he is solid in coverage though. he has some skills but even when you look past the concussions, he never really played up to his potential. the concussions make it even more dubious. but for that small contract and for 1 year, not a bad signing.

He’s got all the talent in the world, but never really played up to his potential. At times he seems lost — especially when he was sharing the field with Sean Jones. The concussion issue is a serious one. I think most Browns fans have been resigned to the fact that he wouldn’t be here this year, and personally, I was hoping he would retire (for health reasons). So far as I remember, he was a model citizen and team mate.

Agree. Pool had the attributes to make it, he just never put it all together. You will seem him make plays, but then at times get beat deep. The concussion issue is really scary.

yep. you could argue the same thing about sean jones. except for one season, he never really lived up to the potential of being a 2nd rounder (which is where he was drafted). Both just never seemed to be able to put it all together mentally.

anything you get out of him would be a bonus. just dont expect anything. when healthy, he was a decent safety.

Wish them both the best.

by emily522 on Mar 11, 2010 10:36 PM EST reply actions

Wish both players the best. Hopefully Hadnot can stay healthy for the whole season next year.

Wish Brodney Pool good luck especially with concussion history. I hope he doesn’t have any problems down the line because of it.

i guess its almost a lock that we go CB, S with our top two picks now

by rockybrown on Mar 12, 2010 2:04 AM EST reply actions

Sounds like a good plan.

Walterfootball’s latest mock draft could only be termed “heroic” for Browns fans.

I love the first two rounds.

Here is Kareem Jackson’s scouting report (the mock has us taking him in the 2nd).

I can’t imagine that happening. But we can always hope, right?

Al Dais would be pissed that we took the slightly faster corner ahead of him.

I have a Toughbook where the v key only works one out of every 5 times, and the spacebar is about 1 out of every two, so if you see a missing v you know I’m on the laptop.

Yea, I spilled water all over my old keyboard and just replaced it today. It’s a great feeling to have a brand new keyboard- the keys are very pleasing to push- but I’d rather not go through the replacement process again.
