Always been the Browns. I'm a glutton for punishment, but I like some of the moves they have made. If anything, it appears they have direction. Even if it's the wrong way, at least it's direction.
The Browns aren't likely to amount to much, but you hit the nail on the head with direction.
A team can't make random moves and expect to have a good roster, nor can it become good while making "win now" moves with a 5-win roster.
One of the common traits of teams that stay bad is that they never admit how bad they are and spend 2-3 years working on creating a core to build around. Signing an expensive FA may be flashy, but it doesn't turn a bad team into a good one and the cap space value is not good.
The Browns, for once, look like they know they are a few years away from possibly being good enough to get excited about, and want to clean up their books a little bit and start with a young group of players to move forward with.
