The NFL approved the new CBA by a 30-2 vote. Clearly, it was the right thing to do. Cap goes way up this year to $102 million, so the Browns are even further under the cap. I expect Lerner to spend lots of money to improve the team. I hope we didn't fall this far under to sit on our hands.

We should make a run at Julian Peterson, the Ravens nose tackle with the big name, Bentley from the Saints, Joe Jurevicius, and how about David Givens. I'd take that in a heartbeat. And then draft a bunch of good guys and we make the playoffs this year, right? Wait a minute, we're the Browns.
