T-Minus 24 hrs

The magic word of the day is......AXE.

The NFL final cut down day is fast approaching and rumors are flying around all over the league. All teams must have there final rosters down to 53 by 4pm Saturday.

With nearly no one notable playing at all during the Browns final preseason game last night who knows who could be left off the list tomorrow.

But lets speculate.....

First and foremost, Derek Anderson (from WFNY) If we can get a draft pick or another usable OLineman, lets do it. Last I heard was that the Patriots will only have two QB's on the roster by tomorrow.

Then the "Lets get a last look at RB James Davis". He may have single handedly extinguished Jamal Lewis's career as a Brown if not entirely. No one questions Lewis's heart or work ethic but it's that time in a running backs career where it's time to hang'em up. His burst, spring, cutting, and speed is next to nothing anymore.

If Lewis does get the axe, it will be interesting to see if someone a little younger with experience is signed. This would leave James Davis and Jerome Harrison the two lone RB's left on the roster.

David Patten....Last night was his first time playing out of the 4 preseason games. But he's 35 and so far the WR depth chart should look pretty close to Edwards, Cribbs, Furrey, Massaquoi, & Robiskie.

I don't think C Hank Fraley gets the axe for the simple fact that he is probably to valuable in that he has been playing some guard and it's still uncertain how rookie Alex Mack will pan out with the first team.

Check back often has any stragling info I find, I'll post for your pleasure. Such as a little Tweet update from D'Qwell Jackson (DQ52):
Being in the building is a constant reminder of how thankful I am to be playing this game..its tough watchin ur buddy get released frm team
Who's he referring to? Not sure yet.

2018 NFL Draft Cleveland Browns Preview

***UPDATE #2*** Per RotoWorld and Jordan Raanan of ESPN: Rumor has it that the NY Giants are only willing to spend the 2nd overall pick in April's draft for a QB if it were going to be Sam Darnold. Read More    Browns also made another move in for the secondary by signing CB EJ Gaines. Read More. **UPDATE** As many of you have probably already scene. The NY Giants traded DE Jason Pierre-Paul to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday. Really, three things could happen here. Giants draft a QB or Barkely. They could still trade out with Buffalo or another sneaker team that no one is aware of yet. Finally, and what seems to now make the most sense, they draft DE Bradley Chubb in place of JPP's vacancy.   Who will be the one? Just weeks away from the 2018 NFL Draft and our beloved Cleveland Browns find themselves again picking high in Round 1.  At this point, with the New York Jets trading up to the #3 spot it looks like this draft could be shaking u...

NFL Trade Deadline at 4pm Today.

With any of the 4 major sports, there are always rumors galour during the trade deadline. Along with an Indians team that fell well short of expectations. The Browns may also be in a selling mood. Names being mentioned have been Joshua Cribbs, Brady Quinn, Kameron Wimbley and Shaun Rodgers. Another name being mentioned as been former Buckeye Ted Ginn Jr of the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins may now have realized that they took him way to high in the draft just a few years ago. However if the Browns want a vertical threat at the right price, Ginn could be there man. If you recall rumors circulated earlier this year that the Dolphins and Browns were talking Braylon Edwards and Ronnie Brown. Maybe we can trade Wimbley for Bill Parcells instead? At this point I am still reluctant to give up Wimbley. Yes, he has fallen short of expectations from his standout rookie season, but on the other hand, he already has matched his sack totals from a year ago (4), and is on pace to beat his tota...

How Does Johnny Football Figure Into This Years Draft?

With the NFL Draft fast approaching your Cleveland Browns are faced with another slew of challenges (and by challenges I really mean a giant shit storm of problems). It is beyond obvious that GM Ray Farmer is clueless on how to build a team through the draft and all the corner office suits are so inept at there positions that we can't even get any decent free agents to visit let alone sign here. The Browns are currently picking 12th and 19th in the first round. Depending on the mock draft the Browns could be doing anything from trading up with  Tennessee to draft Marcus Mariota or just turning in a blank card on draft day. For once, the Browns should only do one of two things. One: Stay at both 12 and 19 and draft the best available player or your "big board" at those spots. We basically suck at every position but LT, C, and one CB spot. Bolster your roster from top to bottom, add depth, play makers, make smart decisions. If the QB you want is not going to be...
