While in town to start his offseason workout regimen, Browns Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas made an appearance on Cleveland Browns Daily on WKNR 850 AM. The show is part of the Browns official media.

When asked about what he believes will happen this offseason, with the Browns holding 5 of the first 65 draft picks as well as the most salary cap room of any NFL team, Thomas was effusive.

“I expect us to sign three or four big-time free agents,” Thomas responded. “It’s a really huge opportunity”.

Cleveland has about $96 million in salary cap room available for 2017, though the projected figures from Over the Cap could be on the low end. That’s after factoring in the recent Jamie Collins contract extension.

Thomas sits on Cleveland’s leadership council, which helps steer the decision-making process.

NFL free agency kicks off in early March, with the signing period opening on March 9.

Which “big-time” free agents will wind up Cleveland? Let the speculation begin!
