If the Browns are not interested in Ramirez, they may want to take a look at center Stefen Wisniewski, who is a free agent after spending a year with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Wisniewski may not have had his best season in 2015, but he has earned a positive grade from Pro Football Focus as a pass protector in four of his past five seasons and has missed just 19 offensive snaps during his five-year career.
He is also just about to turn 27, meaning he should be able to perform at a solid level for at least the length of a free agent contract. Wisniewski was a second-round draft pick in 2011 by the Oakland Raiders – who were coached that year by Hue Jackson – so Wieniewski should be familiar with Jackson’s offense.
Wisniewski may not be the type of signing that wins offseason headlines, but he is a dependable pro that can help teams win during the regular season when it matters.
