The Browns first target, and from team sources, the prime target of the Browns free agency plans, is Bills FS Jairus Byrd.

Among teams believed to have interest in Matt Schaub if (when) he gets released by #Texans: #Browns and #Raiders. #Jets if they cut Sanchez

Ian Rapoport also says the Browns have interest in Texans QB Matt Schaub. This would depend on the Texans releasing him.

Update 2: 4:41 PM, Saturday

Alex Marquez thinks the Browns will land Jairus Byrd and possibly Ben Tate:

RT @86_Upton: do you think the #Browns will sign Jarius Byrd?<Makes sense. Fills need, played under Pettine in Buffalo & CLE has cap room

Sam Shields comes off the board.

Congrats to RSR client Sam Shields & the Green Bay Packers on the new contract!
