“No one wants to come play for Cleveland.”

What’s not to love about living in Cleveland? Cleveland is home to the reigning NBA Champions, the World Series runner ups and the greatest fans in the country. If the price is right, the players will come because money is always the motive. Releasing all the veterans from years past and going with the rebuild approach, the Browns have an estimated $64M in cap space in 2017.

A portion of this money will likely go toward locking down Terrelle Pryor and Jamie Collins, though one could get franchise tagged, as their contracts expire after this season.

The Browns already made one roster move, which has a lot of fans scratching their heads. They recently locked up Jamar Taylor on a 3-year $15 million deal.

The tough part will be finding players who will want to be there for the long hall to rebuild and be a part of the culture they are trying to create in Cleveland. Hue Jackson will be a great tool to help lure players to buy into the house he is trying to build.

Maybe he could get LeBron James as a recruiting tool like when the Celtics tried to use Tom Brady to recruit Kevin Durant, Just a thought.
