erring on the side of caution.

[CleveSteve]

Welp. Congrats, guys.

5 year deal. total not released yet. (Schefter, Browns beat McManoman)

[Urc Burry]

Schefter confirmed 5 year deal. **** yeah!!!

[RealSNR]

Whatever we gotta do so that Jah Reid isn't our primary option at starting RT

[JakeLV]

https://twitter.com/Rand_Getlin/status/707691211788693505

Apparently, he's signed.

[The Franchise]

Whatever we gotta do so that Jah Reid isn't our primary option at starting RT

Put that fucker at OG where he was average at least.

[JakeLV]

Do you know what this means? A guard as a first rounder and not a tackle.

[SAUTO]

That's fucking awesome

[BossChief]

He was the highest graded RT in the NFL last year.

I'm afraid to see what we spent on him.

[ModSocks]

Wow. Nice. Didn't see that one coming.

[The Franchise]

He was the highest graded RT in the NFL last year.

I'm afraid to see what we spent on him.

It was reported before FA that he wanted around $8 million a year.

Fucking great signing. AMAZING move in the AFCW. Bring it on, Mack, Vonn, Irvin, Ingram.

I'm afraid to see what we spent on him.

Don't care. Salaries can be manipulated.

We're looking pretty good at offensive line now. A midrounder or two for depth and we're set to go.

Geoff must have put in a good word. Maybe we can get him back too

Welp. Congrats, guys.

Sorry cleve :(

[milkman]

We follow every rumor and tweet out there, and we hear nothing about what John Dorsey is doing until it's virtually done.

[jonzie04]

"Von Miller entered last Sunday’s game leading the league in pressures. Against Schwartz, he got just one pressure."

If Allen was worth 7 mil a year, hes worth 8. Now just need to get the guard spots fixed and we're good to go on the OL. Weird..

A draft full of defense.

With a WR somewhere in between rounds 1-5.

I wonder if he's working something with Howard then because Howard's name hasn't been mentioned once.

[RealSNR]

In case people didn't know, he IS Geoff Schwartz's younger brother.

May have been the connection that sealed it?

[ModSocks]

I wonder what this means for the Sean Smith sweepstakes.

[O.city]

Now just get dj, Sean smith, howard, Poe, the ilb from indy done and I'll be happy

[Hydrae]

It was reported before FA that he wanted around $8 million a year.

If Allen can get 7 mill, then 8 mill is a good deal.

May the Schwartz be with us! :)

No fatties!! (well maybe a DL or something)

[AustinChief]

wow. We have legit Tackles once again! If Fisher keeps ascending this line could be amazing. Still need another guard but I'm happy with what Dorsey is building

[Superbowltrashcan]

Would his brother Geoff be interested in returning as a swing player? Honest question since I know little of how the two compare...

Makes me have hope we have something in place for Jaye Howard and DJ.

I haven't heard a peep about either guy.

Good news.

The O-Line has been upgraded.

[DaneMcCloud]

It was reported before FA that he wanted around $8 million a year.

That's a freakin' bargain, especially with Jeff Allen getting $7 per

[The Franchise]

That's a freakin' bargain, especially with Jeff Allen getting $7 per

Well there are no guarantees that's what he got. No one thought half of these players would be getting what they've got so far.

It's looking unlikely that we get Smith or Howard back at this point. And barring weirdo shit, I'd bet my house that we can't keep both of them.

I'm hoping that we can at least get DJ back for 1-2 years on a new deal. That's all I'm gonna hold my breath for.

We can use our entire draft to patch the holes on D. Re-sign DJ , maybe Lane and we're golden.

Adam Teicher tweeted that he talked to DJ and DJ is optimistic they get a deal done soon.

Schwartz hasn't missed a game in his career. Much rather overpay a little for him than overpay a lot for Allen.

plus if they can use jamaal / ware / west without terrible playcalling and stupid screens all the time...

[The Franchise]

If I'm Joe Thomas....I'm getting the fuck out of there. No Mack. No Schwartz.

[Urc Burry]

If Grubbs is cut, than Schwartz is probably the oldest starting lineman at 26. Love that

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Cleveland is already on the clock for the 2017 draft.

[Hoover]

Great signing, exactly the type of FA signing that we needed to make.

[FloridaMan88]

If you think about it, the Chiefs right tackle position has been in flux going back to when John Tait left for the Bears.

This might finally address the position.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Morse at guard with Fulton at C is an intriguing idea, but until we hear word about it I am not going to place them as the starters in those spots.

FOR NOW, it's gotta be Fisher-Grubbs-Morse-LDT/Reid-Schwartz

[MAG]

is he good

[milkman]

Dorsey quietly has made what might well be one of the top 5 impactful free agent signings of this off season.

Yea and this guys still in his prime. 26 years old.

Dorsey bringing in a 26 year old on a 5-year deal at a significant position of need.... sounds very familiar?:hmmm:

Huge signing IMO. Especially in the AFCW.

Fisher made real strides last year, but LDT made even bigger strides.

If they both continue to ascend at a similar pace, they, along with Morse and Schwartz, could turn this into a line that could compete to be the best in the league.

[MotherfuckerJones]

Dorsey quietly has made what might well be one of the top 5 impactful free agent signings of this off season.

His Maclin deal was tits last year also

[staylor26]

Sounds like whatever happened with Cleveland and Schwartz led to this.

Thanks Browns

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Just lost my boner.

[milkman]

Just lost my boner.

The penalties suck, but Maclin last year, and Schwartz this year, legitimize this offense.

I am not going to be any less excited about this signing because of that.

[Easy 6]

"Dorsey is losing the offseason!1"

He goes out and gets the best guy on the market at a position of need

I wonder if they keep Grubbs, i bet Reid will want to give him another year.

or will we stick with LDT at RG?

He was the best right tackle in football. Complete stud.

Hopefully with a gun in his mouth.

Thanks Browns


Yup. They have insulted their free agents with low ball offers.

[BossChief]

Hopefully this turns out better than when we signed "the best right tackle in football" in Eric Winston...it sure does seem like it will.

[BigChiefFan]

Gotta give Dorsey props. This is an excellent move.

This is untrue. They had more money offered to Mack on the table when he signed with ATL (CLE $10 mil v $9.5 with ATL). They had the top offer out to Schwartz when they pulled it ($7.5 million per) but felt Schwartz wasn't serious about signing and just using the team as leverage.

The stories of lowball offers were from free agents of other teams. They offered Mack and Schwartz their biggest deals and they chose to not take them.

Sports Illustrated's Peter King reported the average annual salary on Mack's five-year contract with the Falcons will be $9.5 million. He could have stayed with the Browns for $10 million per year, according to the report, but instead chose to join Shanahan.


http://dawgpounddaily.com/2016/03/09/report-cleveland-browns-pull-offer-mitchell-schwartz/

Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot reported earlier this morning that the Browns had offered Schwartz a lengthy contract worth nearly $7.5 million per season, a deal that reportedly put them in a good position to retain the four-year veteran.

Hearing RT Mitchell Schwartz has a decent chance of returning to the #Browns. About $7.5 million a year.

— Mary Kay Cabot (@MaryKayCabot) March 9, 2016

That contract would make Schwartz the second-highest paid right tackle in the NFL, only behind Lane Johnson of the Philadelphia Eagles, who earned a hefty payday last season at $11 million per year. Sounds pretty nice for both parties, right? At least until the Pro Football Talk report came out stating that Cleveland no longer had their offer on the table.

The confusion is increasing for Browns fans and even agents are bewildered by the hesitation on the part of Cleveland’s front office. It was perceived that the Browns would certainly lose two of their guys, but it was also expected that the organization would bring back either Mack or Schwartz.

http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2016/03/browns_mitchell_schwartz.html

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns have sprung another big leak on their formerly stout offensive line. Right tackle Mitchell Schwartz has agreed to a five-year deal with the Chiefs, a league source confirmed for cleveland.com.

The Browns are believed to have offered Schwartz about $7.5 million a year recently, but rescinded their offer on Wednesday as Schwartz tested the free agent waters.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

The guys on Sirius I was listening to on my way home from work were talking like us signing Schwartz was basically a need to fill since we lost Allen and Stephenson and we were just trading players and not upgrading.

[Mav]

Michael Silver also reporting Schwartz wanted to stay when Browns abruptly pulled offer.

Michael Silver also reporting Schwartz wanted to stay when Browns abruptly pulled offer.

Mike Silver has always had an axe to grind with the Browns, and it's easy to say that now that it's over "oh but I really wanted to stay." If he wanted to stay, he would have signed it before they pulled it. He was using the Browns.

If that's how you feel. Schwartz should never been allowed to hit free agency. He should of been signed last year.

He was doing what any sensible person in his position does by driving up his price through a bidding war. Was he using the Browns? Yes, but he was also using every other team interested in signing him.

[saphojunkie]

I'm so glad Donald Stephenson and Jeff Allen are gone. Stephenson is the worst draft pick this franchise has ever seen. Yep, that's right - the absolute worst.

One pick before a Super Bowl winner, two time NFC championship winner. When we needed a QB. And why? So our horrible GM wouldn't threaten his horrible QB that he got in a horrible trade and signed to a horrible contract.

Nobody gives a shit that the Seahawks overpaid for Matt Flynn. They don't care at all. Because Russell Fucking Wilson came in and wiped that travesty from the face of the earth. Which is exactly what should have happened in Kansas City.

Instead we draft a brokedick bust.

Fuck you, Scott Pioli.

Fuck you so fucking hard.

Mitchell Schwartz, welcome to KC, you beautiful bastard.

[Mr. Laz]

The guys on Sirius I was listening to on my way home from work were talking like us signing Schwartz was basically a need to fill since we lost Allen and Stephenson and we were just trading players and not upgrading.
That's because most of those guys barely know that Kansas City has a football team.

Allen couldn't stay healthy and Stephenson wasn't as good without the juice.

not to mention that Stephenson also seemed a bit lazy

[pugsnotdrugs19]

The guys on Sirius I was listening to on my way home from work were talking like us signing Schwartz was basically a need to fill since we lost Allen and Stephenson and we were just trading players and not upgrading.

Ignorant. RT has been a wash for 10 years now. Games are won in the trenches. Alex plays really well when he has time. This helps all of those things. Those guys don't know jack.

[CleveSteve]

He was doing what any sensible person in his position does by driving up his price through a bidding war. Was he using the Browns? Yes, but he was also using every other team interested in signing him.

Sure, and it's totally within his rights, but the Browns had the biggest offer on the table for him, so to not take it and try to drive up the price then turn around and say he "really wanted to stay in Cleveland" is disingenuous to me.

I don't begrudge him that, you guys are getting a good player and it's his chance to make as much money as he wants, but I don't get why he needs to put that last part out there to try to make the Browns look worse.

The player could have been happy staying.

Both could be true

Hard to tell what happened.

Browns probably wanted him to commit to the contract right then but when Schwartz said he wanted to think about it, they pulled it.

sucks ... don't blame either side really

Cleveland can't let themselves be used and the player has a right to think about it.

I really do hope that Cleveland gets it together, fan base deserves better.

He was the best right tackle in football. Complete stud.

2nd in interceptions, 4th in net yards per attempt allowed and 9th in total yards allowed.

5th ranked overall pass defense in terms of DVOA according to Football Outsiders.

But I guess that's just not good enough, now is it?

I don't think you understand...our pass defense was not substantially better in 2015 than it was in 2014, and that was withOUT Peters.

Peters, Gaines, Berry, and Parker are a phenomenal core to have. We have an 18 million dollar pass rusher for a reason, let's just hope he does his job.

It may have already been posted, and if so I'll apologize in a manner that sounds sincere but isn't. But here's a PFF discussion of Schwartz last season.

ProFootballFocus rates Mitchell Schwartz the NFL's best right tackle
Oct 23, 2015

BEREA, Ohio -- Mitchell Schwartz is oft maligned by folks in Cleveland who follow the Browns.

But the team’s right tackle has drawn notice around the league. One line coach called him among the top five right tackles in the game, while the website ProFootballFocus.com gave him its best rating.

In an ESPN Insider piece naming the most underrated players at each position based on PFF grades, Schwartz was given the nod at right tackle. He was called “the unheralded bookend tackle in Cleveland to Joe Thomas (who) actually has the fourth-best pass-blocking grade of all tackles.”

Told where Schwartz ranked among right tackles, coach Mike Pettine quipped: “Good for Mitch.”

PFF’s John Kosko provided some more detail on Schwartz. Kosko said PFF’s rankings show:

Schwartz ranks seventh among all tackles, first among those on the right side.

Of the Browns' 260 dropbacks, 81 have been seven-step drops, second highest in the league. This puts more pressure on the offensive line, which is factored into the rankings.

Schwartz has given up 12 total pressures in 260 dropbacks, about one in every 22 plays.

Von Miller entered last Sunday’s game leading the league in pressures. Against Schwartz, he got just one pressure.

Schwartz is not a dominant run blocker, but he’s better than average, ranking ninth in the league at his position.

The Browns have been sacked 22 times this season, but PFF’s analytics attribute 10 of the sacks to the backs or the quarterbacks holding the ball too long. That, Kosko, says, has skewed the perception of the offensive line.

Say this for Schwartz: He has good timing.

His contract is up after this season and if the Browns don’t re-sign him he could be a free agent.

That'd be great if he came cheap enough. He can back up three positions, and we probably need another guy assuming we cut Grubbs and Fanaika.

I'm just catching up, but I can't imagine how anyone can feel anything other than amazed and giddy, and a little mystified.

So far, what I'm reading is that he got all these guys signed to reasonable deals.

How the hell did he do it?

He didn't just get them signed to reasonable deals.

He got Schwartz for less than 2 mil more per year than the Broncos signed Stephenson for. Jeff Allen got more than Schwartz.

He also got Howard at a deal so much better than Malik Jackson's it's unbelievable. The difference in those contracts isn't indicative of the difference in the players.

Dorsey is a God.

Yeah, right.

If true, Dorsey played the Raiders like a fiddle.

[chiefzilla1501]

That can't be real. That's an absolute steal!

That's highway robbery. Especially with the cap inflation I would have been happy with $8M.

[milkman]

I, and others, have been saying for while now that We'd like to see the Chiefs sign Jeremy Lane rather than signing Sean Smith.

After today, I believe there's a chance he'll get that done.

[chiefzilla1501]

I'd love the idea of bringing Geoff Schwartz back since he'd have to be a lot cheaper than when we first got him. Maybe Mitchell helps us get a hometown discount. Our OL badly needs depth and he'd be a really nice swing lineman, at the right price.

[shammus]

I, and others, have been saying for while now that We'd like to see the Chiefs sign Jeremy Lane rather than signing Sean Smith.

After today, I believe there's a chance he'll get that done.

He signed a 4 year deal with Seattle just a couple hours ago. From Rotoworld -

----------------------------------

Seahawks re-signed CB Jeremy Lane to a four-year contract.

Turning 26 this July, Lane is a quality young slot corner whose durability limited his market value. He was a difference maker when healthy down the stretch of last season, however, playing stingy slot coverage and intercepting two passes in the final six games. The Seahawks' secondary should return intact with Richard Sherman and Deshawn Shead at outside corner, Lane in the slot, and Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor manning the safeties. Mar 9 - 8:40 PM

[DJ's left nut]

Highest ranked RT last year, shut down Von Miller, has experience playing LT in college and has started every game in the NFL.

What a big fucking addition this is.

The durability just cannot be overstated.

What an amazing deal. The AAV, the structure, the fit and the quality of the player. It's just unreal he got that guy for what the Texans gave Allen, a guy who isn't as good as Schwartz even when he's healthy (and he's never healthy).

It really does defy belief.

It sounds a lot like a "I want to win a Super Bowl" older veteran deal.

But Schwartz is 26 years old.

Absolutely amazing.

[MotherfuckerJones]

Our oline has went from a dumpster fire to a solid unit in a hurry.

[RunKC]

Fisher, Morse and Schwartz are all studs. We have depth and some solid G's. Goddamn!

[BigChiefFan]

It sure looks like the O-Line is up and coming, with some strong talent. I can't believe we landed Schwartz on top of all the other players we signed today.

[TimBone]

http://espn.go.com/blog/cleveland-browns/post/_/id/16207/profootballfocus-rates-mitchell-schwartz-the-nfls-best-right-tackle
Oh, so now we have two tackles that own Von's bitch ass.

[TimBone]

I wonder if he's working something with Howard then because Howard's name hasn't been mentioned once.
Shit, man. Good call on this one.

[ModSocks]

Welp, it's been a good day, men. Will go to bed happy tonight.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

I still can't comprehend how we signed a guy that is arguably one of the best at his position, has thus far been durable thru his NFL career (although back issues in college), ....for $6 million a year.

6 million a year to stop players that get paid 15-18 mil a year. Astounding.

[B2chiefsfan]

Dorsey...!!! Dorsey...!!! Dorsey...!!!

[Saccopoo]

If you think about it, the Chiefs right tackle position has been in flux going back to when John Tait left for the Bears.

This might finally address the position.

[RealSNR]

Less than 8 months ago people were ready to sacrifice their first borns over the number of question marks the line was facing. The Chiefs had just let their best offensive lineman from a year ago walk to a division rival, and were down to Paul fucking Fanaika as their starting RT.

What the fuck changed?

Dorsey did what I told you all was the best option.

Patience. Patience. Patience.

And now one FA acquisition later, we've got the best OL in the division, one of the top OT combos in the conference, and 4 of the 5 expected starters are all under 26 years of age. We didn't spend a fucking 1st rounder on the interior line, or waste our top draft picks on OL in consecutive years.

[Saccopoo]

Schwartz alone makes this an absolutely phenomenal free agency.

I'm buying a Schwartz jersey as soon as I can.

You haven't.

The entire line started going to shit when Tait left.

This is the best FA signing of any team this season.

A huge fucking win for the Chiefs. I don't give a rat's ass about the third rounder at this point just because of this signing alone.

HUGE.

FUCKING.

WIN.

Now draft Paxton Lynch right in front of the Donkeys.

This is the best FA signing of any team this season.

A huge ****ing win for the Chiefs. I don't give a rat's ass about the third rounder at this point just because of this signing alone.

HUGE.

****ING.

WIN.

Now draft Paxton Lynch right in front of the Donkeys.

Schwartz got an A+ in SI's free agency grades

Huh? The ol was plenty good in 2004 and 2005 (except the 6 games where roaf was injured). The ol collapsed because roaf and shields left.

McIntosh.

O'Callaghan.

Richardson.

Winston.

Fisher (as a rookie from Central Michigan).

You tell me how good the Right Offensive Tackle position has been since Tait left.

That position alone has gotten three Chief QB's absolutely murdered.

Sackintosh was my favorite of Carl's gigantic piece of shit free agent signings.

The guy was a Used Car salesman that pulled the wool over Lamar Hunt's eyes.

Good Lord. Did we even have a player personnel department? I know we did, but that's pathetic. Sometimes I wonder what Hunt saw in Queen Carl.

It was more about his attitude than he play iirc

He was so pissed at the NFL that it effected his focus on the game.

oh yea, wasn't meaning all FA pickups, just Oline


Dorsey has done fine in FA at virtually every position but Oline.

Seems to do ok at the Oline in the draft too.


Oline FA is just shit so far for us

To be fair, he hasn't signed any OL to be starters, if you don't count the Grubbs extension.

Mitch Schwartz is the first one.

[staylor26]

Schwartz highlights vs. the Raiders and Broncos.

[OldSchool]

If you want to see the full Schwartz vs Broncos game. He does a pretty good job at both pass pro and run blocking. Hell of a lot better than anything we've seen at that position in a really long time.

Favorite thing about Schwartz is that he's pretty steady no matter what you throw at him. He can deal with power, dude's with size and length, as well as the smaller speed guys. As long as he continues his trend of staying healthy, should be set at both tackle positions for a long time.

[oaklandhater]

:facepalm:

I lost all respect for the dude after this.

You "lost all respect" for a player that defended his teammate and called out the fans for being gigantic dickheads?

:spock:

Never boo your own players, especially if they're injured.

[chiefzilla1501]

Our ol with Winston actually could have been very good considering Hudsons growth if Winston stuck around. Albert-allen-hudson-asamoah-winston. The unit as a whole looked disastrous because our qb was an ol killer. I still believe even this year's ol improvements were very much due to improved QB play

matt cassel was/is a punk and the writing had been on the wall.

That chiefs fan's wanted him the hell gone for far to long Winston walked in to a situation he had idea how long the rage our fan based had been dealing with on crap QB's.

This is just completely idiotic.

First off, by all accounts, Matt Cassel is one of the best locker room guys in the NFL. Despite his record, despite his failures as a starting NFL, the guy has earned more than $70 million and was just signed to the Titans last week.

That doesn't happen to a "punk".

Secondly, the fans were disgusting that day.

Cheering for injury? That's shit behavior, plain and simple.
