Cleveland Browns' Tom Heckert making sure ... - Tucson Dawg Pound
The Browns have millions heaped upon millions in salary cap money to spend, but apparently no plans to make it rain like Pacman Jones in a strip club.
Free Agency Fever is a contagion around the league, but not here. Why?
First of all, GM Tom Heckert is the buttoned-down type. He didn’t exactly swing all out in the draft — his wheelhouse — unless your idea of going deep is defensive tackle Phil Taylor late in the first round. With a first-year head coach, new defensive coordinator, new defense, new offense and relatively new quarterback, Heckert can further justify a conservative approach in 2011.
See what pieces of the jigsaw fit for Pat Shurmur on offense and Dick Jauron on defense. Don’t get locked into big money free agents when you’re not close to winning.
Many top free agents want to go where they can win. Or at least where they know what to expect. The Browns don’t qualify in either category. They may someday. They don’t now, not while their biggest attraction for free agents is Mike Holmgren as club president. They are somewhere in the early stages of yet another Dreaded Rebuilding Plan. The calendar suggests this is Year 2. But waiting a season to make an inevitable change at head coach is a mitigating factor.
The Browns aren’t starting from scratch. They are starting anew, though, having wasted a year with a coach they knew wasn’t in their long-range plans.
Heckert’s had two drafts. And now this is his second free agent shopping season. So we’ll split the difference and call it Year 1A. The GM has a great situation. A boss with Super Bowl credentials supporting him and publicly commending his work. A patient and dog-loyal fan base thrilled — at least for now — to see a front office with a plan, any plan.
Best-case scenario after what people have been through since 1999: having a GM who is both bold and competent. At this stage of the Browns’ development, Heckert qualifies in the most important category.
