Who Wants to Be a (Multi) Millionaire???

With the 49ers signing Clements to the fattest contract for a defensive player in NFL history (cue spit-take), what do the Browns do with all that money they have?

With some quality defensive options still available in free agency, will the Browns swoop in with their briefcases full of money and steal a stud from someone? Some options include Antwan Peek (LB, Houston), Jarret Johnson (DL, Baltimore), Robaire Smith (DL, Tennessee), or the intolerable Joey Porter.

It is clear that Cleveland desperately needs to shore up its run defense, and they may have lucked out by being outbid by San Francisco for the services of Nate Clements. You'd be amazed how much better Cleveland's cornerbacks would look if their front 7 could establish a pass rush and stop the run, and spending some of that bank on some help in that area could go a long way in helping this team crawl back to respectability.
