Is C.J. Mosley fool’s gold for the Browns in free agency?

The Baltimore Ravens decided on Tuesday to not place the franchise tag on C.J. Mosley, meaning the veteran linebacker will be an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins on March 13.

Which is good news for the Browns ... or is it?

Cleveland has money to spend in free agency and could conceivably craft a deal for Mosley that the Ravens - who only have about $18.5 million in salary cap room - would simply not be able to match. The idea of adding a four-time Pro Bowl player to the Browns roster, while simultaneously weakening a division rival, is something that should appeal to general manager John Dorsey.
