We have been hearing constant chatter about the Cleveland Browns possibly acquiring a veteran quarterback through free agency and the top names that keep popping up are Kirk Cousins and Alex Smith. The quarterback talk is never going to end and that’s fine, but what are some of the possibilities outside of QB?

Here is what I believe to be a dream scenario for the Browns 2018 free agency.

Lamarcus Joyner, Safety

Joyner is coming off the best season of his young career and finished ranked number three in the Pro Football Focus ratings. The heavy-hitting playmaker was drafted in the second round in 2014 and has been a versatile piece to the Los Angeles puzzle since his arrival. Joyner is still extremely young and could pair with Jabrill Peppers to form a dynamic safety tandem for years to come.

Le’Veon Bell, Running Back

Remember this is a “Dream” scenario, but with the arrival of Todd Haley as the new offensive coordinator in Cleveland and the rumored attitude issues coming from Bell, perhaps it is actually realistic.

Bell entered the league in 2013 and has been a staple of the Pittsburgh offense ever since. He still has many years of tread left and is arguably the best running back in the NFL. Bell can change the face of the Browns offense both in the run and passing game. He will cost a pretty penny.

Paul Posluszny, Linebacker

After spending big money on the first two names, Cleveland has enough left to sign one more meaningful contributor. The veteran is the aging leader from the best defense in the NFL in Jacksonville. Posluszny will more than likely hit the market without being resigned due to the youth behind him and his poor play in coverage, but at 33 years old the man can still play a vital part in run defense and provide instant leadership to a young defense.
