to do some work on the defensive side of the ball https://www.brownsfanshop.com/JC-Tretter-Jersey , most notably at the defensive tackle position.Second-year defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi was solid at one defensive tackle position, but he also wore down as the season went along after playing 930 snaps — the most in the league at his position.The rest of the position group was filled with a group of interchangeable players, including Trevon Coley, Carl Davis and Daniel Ekuale, that can safely fall into the dreaded category of “just a guy.”General manager John Dorsey will likely look to fix the issue via the draft, but there is one name to keep an eye on in free agency that would certainly get fans excited - Gerald McCoy of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There is much to like about McCoy as he has been selected to six Pro Bowls, has played 13 or more games eight times in his nine seasons, and has had at least six sacks every season since 2013. So why would Tampa Bay want to move on from McCoy?It could come down to a system change as new defensive coordinator Todd Bowles brings his version of a 3-4 defense to town. Under Bowles, the defensive tackles are tasked with occupying the offensive lineman and letting someone else on defense make the play. That Ozzie Newsome Jersey , along with his price tag, could make McCoy expendable, according to ESPN’s Jenna Laine:So could the Browns make a run at McCoy if he does, in fact, hit the open market?Cleveland has a little more than $75 million in estimated cap space, according to spotrac.com, so the money is there. And spending some of that cap space to improve the roster while quarterback Baker Mayfield is still on his rookie contract is not a bad idea. Signing McCoy to line up next to Ogunjobi would also not preclude Dorsey from drafting another defensive tackle to build up the team’s depth and keep the starters from breaking down later in the season.McCoy is going to turn 31 in a few weeks, and that is a bit older than you normally want to see from a player that the Browns would want to sign in free agency. But he doesn’t appear to have any injury issues, and the Browns would only be looking at him for a couple of years Briean Boddy-Calhoun Jersey , so his age may not be a problem.Of course, Tampa Bay has to release McCoy first and, if that happens, the Browns will not be the only team interested in signing him. But if that day arrives, it would not be a surprise to see Dorsey toss his hat into the ring for McCoy in an attempt to give the defensive line some much-needed help. Trent Richardson couldn’t cut it in the NFL, but he’s making some waves in the AAF.Richardson’s Birmingham Iron played in their second Alliance of American Football game today, and they beat Salt Lake 12-9 on the strength of Richardson’s game-winning touchdown run with 4:40 left in the fourth quarter.Birmingham is now 2-0; Richardson scored two touchdowns to lead his team to victory in the opener.This AAF game was exceedingly dull in the first half, but the second half got more interesting, as Richardson and his teammates came back from a 9-0 halftime deficit to win. Salt Lake missed a field goal late in the fourth quarter that could have sent the game into overtime Joe Schobert Color Rush Jersey , which would have been interesting to see as the AAF has some unique overtime rules.Ultimately, the players in the AAF are there mostly because they’re hoping they can get themselves a chance in the NFL. For most, that’s a second chance, as most players in the NFL have spent time in an NFL training camp but have been released. Richardson is hoping for a fifth chance, having spent time with the Browns, Colts, Raiders and Ravens. He hasn’t done enough to earn that chance yet, but if he keeps it up he might find himself in a training camp in six months.
