This is a no-brainer, Browns fans. There is only one current player on the Browns roster who is turning free agent in 2018. That would be starting running back Isaiah Crowell. Meanwhile, the Browns have plenty of cap space, as they are currently underspent by about 38 million dollars for 2018. So SIGN THE CROW! He can't possibly be more valuable to another team.
If Crow is re-signed, it doesn't mean the Browns can not also draft Saquon Barkley or another running back. On the contrary, a normal roster has four or five spaces for running back. Duke Johnson is a very good tough player, but he spends most of his time in the slot now. In today's NFL, the fullback (Danny Vitale) shares responsibilities with tight ends. So really Crowell and Matthew Dayes are the only full-time running backs on the roster, and they could legitmately add a draftee like Barkley and even another guy if they want.
Crowell is on his way to another 900 yard season, and guys like that do not grow on trees. He's been reliable and durable despite not being on a good team. By the way, did I mention that as of game 14, Crowell has 27 receptions, which is more than any wide receiver on the roster? It's true. The immortal Ricardo Louis leads Browns wide receivers with 26 receptions, a preposterously low total.
It would be foolish to let him walk away. Sign him.
