I like the Brantley move. The knock on him has been consistency. Watched some old film of him - sometimes taking plays off, not finishing the play, getting easily pushed by double teams, etc. But as the 5-6th DL, he can have time to develop into something special if somehow he gets motivated by a good group of DL we have. Too bad, liked Lanier.
Wondering what's going on with Gallette / Breeland, I guess if first game looks bad we can consider them as post week 1 options..
I certainly agree with this. He's worth the minimal risk. It's all about the motivation and, by all accounts, we have a DL that strives to get better as a group and a good DL coach. If he catches the fever, he could become a very good rotational player.

Slow your roll with all this Brantley stuff.
He is a 6th round pick who was just cut by one of the best defensive coordinators of all time(IMO).
If Gregg Williams can't coach this guy up, I doubt he is going to have an impact for us.
As a rotational player, he should be a pretty fair replacement/upgrade.

Looks good on paper but most made decisions do.
Wait and see.

Yeah this. It's no more complicated than this: Lanier could rush the passer well enough but if he had to play the run you'd be in serious, serious trouble. Brantley can do some of both.
I get slow the roll on Brantley. But let's not overvalue our own guys either - Lanier is barely worthy of a roster spot in today's NFL.
Reserve players need to be versatile. Brantley is certainly more-so than Lanier.

For what its worth, some mock drafts had him to the skins in the 2nd last year. There is a whole mock to skins writeup here. Pretty good claiming a dude of waivers that they liked anyways for free. He seems at least a solid rotational prospect. He also led the browns in snaps in preseason. Perhaps they were trying to stash him on PS as it was a bit of a suprise cut

We'll be without him the last 3.5 quarters of week 1, but week 2 here he comes.

I'm surprised nobody else has picked up on this.
It's a real head scratcher for me, don't understand it at all.
