Free Agency in 5...4....3.....2......1

**JUST IN**
Report: Browns trading Corey Williams to Lions
___________________________________

NFL free agency is just hours from now and I feel like a virgin in a strip club for the first time. Which incidentally was about two weeks ago. Anyway....

The Browns today announced the following:

Player Accrued Seasons Tender Level

S Abram Elam 4 2nd Round

RB Jerome Harrison 4 2nd Round

LB D’Qwell Jackson 4 2nd Round

LB Matt Roth 5 2nd Round

LB Jason Trusnik 3 2nd Round

FB Lawrence Vickers 4 2nd Round

In addition, the Browns tendered all three of their exclusive rights players:

LB Marcus Benard

LB Blake Costanzo

RB Chris Jennings

In other news rumor has it that Josh Cribbs and the Browns are holding a press conference tomorrow at 5pm. Updated contract? Unveiling of a new children's book? Who knows!

Also, the Baltimore Ravens have given backup QB Troy Smith a tender of only a 5th rd. With a team that has 11 total draft picks come April, this could be a steal.

The Pooh Has Hit The Fan

Its been about a week since my last post. But its been very difficult to write about something that isn't worth writing about. So what I am going to do is simply post everything interesting I have been able to come across during the past few days. Oh, in case you didn't hear, the Browns let the door hit the ass of general manager George Kokinis on his way out. AFC North Stock Watch Adam Schefter talks about Cleveland getting rid of GM George Kokinis and what this means for Eric Mangini ( video ) The BROWN OUT Eric Barton going on I.R.?

Shaun Rodgers and Some Insight on the Draft

A customer of mine told me once one of the greatest words to live by some years ago. “Never let your meat loaf.” Back when I heard this I only thought of it in a sexual context. But after hearing of the release of DT Shaun Rodgers this past week I was able to apply this great piece of advice from a half senile old man in a different way. The 10 year veteran had played only sparingly over the past two seasons. He ended the 2009 season on the I.R. (as so many others did as well). This past season sometime during training camp, Rodgers became gimpy and turned into the Lance Armstrong of stationary bikes. During the regular season Mr. Rodgers was lucky to play 20 snaps a game. 2009 stats: 11 games played, 11 game starts, 36 tackles (9 assisted) 2 sacks. 2010 stats: 15 games played, 1 game start, 17 tackles (3 assisted) 2 sacks. Shaun's salary in 2010 was $6.9 million, his base for 2011 was 5.5 million. Really didn't take a rocket scientist to figure ...

Ok.....Just Hear Me Out on This One.

I have March Madness. Except my version does not involve basketball. Mine involves that time of the year where there is no football, no baseball, and my BlueJackets suck right now. So my full attention is focused on the NFL draft. Everyone and there next door neighbor has there theory on who is doing what and has some source that heard this rumor from a note written on the bathroom wall of a truck stop in Lincoln, Nebraska. In the last several weeks we have the Cleveland Browns drafting in round one Eric Berry, Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, Tim Tebow, Joe Haden & God knows who else. However.....what if we chose to draft another offensive lineman? WTF?!?!? You say... Let me ask you this: How did we win the last 4 games of 2009? RUNNING THE BALL . How sweet would our starting O-Line look with this blocking for Delhomme and Harrison: LT Joe Thomas LG Eric Steinbach C Alex Mack RG TBD RT Tony Pasho...
