There's been a lot of movement since the last edition of the Browns Mailbag. There's a coach in place and even more work to be done as we head toward the second half of the first month of Cleveland's offseason.

Just think of all that can happen between now and the next Mailbag!

We're diving into four of your questions on this lovely Friday in Berea.

Paul Depodesta - Is he in Cleveland's future or is he out after HC/GM search?? -- Greg P., St. Louis

DePodesta answered this question head on Tuesday after Kevin Stefanski's press conference. He put his own contract situation off to the side to lead the Browns' search for a new head coach and general manager. Long story short, he plans to be with the Browns moving forward.

"My feeling has been that and I have talked to Jimmy (Haslam) about this, let's get the head coach in place, let's get the GM in place, the rest of it will work itself out," DePodesta said. "I am not concerned about it. I expect to be here."

In terms of the offseason, everyone knows we need OT help on both sides of the O-line, but we need both safeties replaced on the defensive side just as badly, and an impact player at that. Who's available in the draft and free agency that we should be looking at? -- Phil H., St. Clairsville

Before evaluating the options in free agency and the draft, it's worth noting the loose ends Cleveland has internally -- and there are a lot of them. Damarious Randall, who has started 26 games the past two seasons at free safety, is set to be an unrestricted free agent in March. Juston Burris, who filled in nicely when the Browns were in a desperate situation early in the season and played a lot of meaningful football in 2019, will be an unrestricted free agent. So is Eric Murray, who helped the Browns as both a safety and nickel cornerback this past season. Veteran Morgan Burnett, who suffered a season-ending Achilles injury during the Browns' Week 12 win over the Steelers, has a year left on his deal, but it's unclear when he'll be fully recovered. That leaves fourth-round pick Sheldrick Redwine, who played a significant amount during the final part of the season, as one of the few sure things back at safety for Cleveland in 2020.

So let's start with free agency. In the past two years, safety salaries have skyrocketed for the top players at the position after deals like the ones signed by Tyrann Mathieu, Landon Collins and Kevin Byard. Some of the notable names projected to be free agents in 2020 are Devin McCourty (Patriots), Rodney McLeod (Eagles), Jimmie Ward (49ers), Tavon Wilson (Lions), Anthony Harris (Vikings), HaHa Clinton-Dix (Bears) and Karl Joseph (Raiders). Of that group, it doesn't appear there'll be a player who commands the kind of deal as the aforementioned trio, but those are some solid, ready-made starting options.
