After getting off to a competitive start, fans watched a disappointing end to the Cleveland Browns' 2014 season.
The team's 20-10 Week 17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens—a loss that eventually propelled the Ravens into the playoffs—capped off a 7-9 finish for head coach Mike Pettine's club.
With the dreaded "Black Monday" now behind us, the one thing we can be grateful for is Browns owner Jimmy Haslam giving this new regime of Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer another chance to right the ship.
In a perfect world, the Browns would have made it to the postseason behind their young defense and strong rushing attack. But as sad as a 7-9 finish is, it still puts the team in contention to make a play in the AFC North next season if it can hammer out its quarterback situation.
Free agency gives Farmer a golden opportunity to tend the farm a bit. He can use the team's estimated $36.7 million in cap space, per OverTheCap.com, to plug a few leaks and set the Browns up for the future.
Checking out a few impending free agents who are expected to test the open market, let's break down five guys who would be a perfect fit for the trials and tribulations of the Dawg Pound.
