Earlier this week the Browns signed another college free agent lineman, Martin Tevasue of UNLV. His size and athleticism are interesting and as you will note in the video below, should the NFL decide to install baskets instead of goalposts in the endzone, young Mr. Tevasue brings to the Browns, the ability to dunk a football..
This signing is probably of little significance, as Tevasue likely won't make the team, but it does show that the Browns new management are hunting bargains by looking for free agent lineman who are big, athletic, but under-skilled football players.
As of today, none of the linemen signed by the Browns as free agents are uh.... good football players but they are all young, big and fast. At 22 years old, it really is a numbers game. One or more of these players might dramatically improve as a football player, and if that happens, the Browns will have struck gold. In the meantime, these players bring another advantage that Browns fans are quite conditioned to over the years. They come dirt cheap. We'll give the benefit of the doubt for the time being that the Holmgren era has the right motives in mind when they search for bargains, but 30 years of Art Modell understandably make us all sceptics.
