The Man was Paid.


First off....props to the new front office regime in Berea. Cribbs as we all know got his pay day this past week. A new 3 yr deal worth around $7 mill and could max out at around $20 with incentives.

Then within minutes of the beginning of free agency DL Corey Williams gets shipped off to Detroit with a 7th Rd pick in exchange for a 5th Rd pick in this years draft (still leaving us with 11 total for next month).

Recent SuperBowl Champion LB Scott Fujita has just signed a 3 yr deal with the Brownies. He does happen to be a little on the old side and will be 31 on April 28th.

The Browns also announced today the signing of tackle Tony Pashos. I can honestly say that I don't know much of him, but word is (when healthy) he is a vicious run blocker, which if we end up with a west coast type of offense this coming season he should fit right in.

In the one of 1000 rumors this week, one cited that backup QB David Carr was on our free agent wishlist. If that were true, you can cross him off the list now. Most recent reports have him signing with the San Fransisco 49er's. THANK GOD

Earlier today I came across this two fun tid-bits of information of who could be starting under center this season:

1. Current Seahawk backup Seneca Wallace. I have to admit I would have thought by this time in his career he would have dethroned Matt Hasselbeck. Matt is no spring chicken and the majority have Seattle drafting a QB in round one, which would make Seneca more "expendable".

2. In a past post I stated that QB Troy Smith was only tendered a 5th rd. Well earlier today Baltimore stated (or what was said to come out of Baltimore) that he would not be going to the Browns. I hope it still happens thought.

Finally let it be noted that Philly has come out and said that they will pay Vicks roster bonus and will have three wanted QB's on the roster. Could it be trade bait? With lets say.....um......uh ......the Browns? Let me say I send over a 3rd rd pick and Shaun Rogers and lets call it a day.

Fallow the free agency tracker here

Word on the street now that Cleveland currently doesn't have any other players scheduled for visits at this time.

The Season That was 2009

I know some have you have given me the WTF. Well get over it. With the playoffs now starting today, us Brownie faithful now turn our attention to off season departures (or lack thereof, how the hell our Off Cord kept his job I will never know), Josh Cribbs contract dispute, free agency, and of course the draft in April (where we pick 7th). Questions on offense...... Although I wanted Brady Quinn to be the starter all season, the only flash of anything positive came against the Detroit Lions where the play calling was really aggressive and lets be honest, even Lurch (DA) could have scored at will against there porous defense. Alas Brady is not the answer. And DA could only make one other QB in the league look good..... JaMarcus Russell . But do we draft another Notre Dame player in the first round again? Jeff Faine and BQ obviously have not worked out. Jamal Lewis will retire, but Jerome Harrisons stock is on the rise. (man, saying that made me feel like Mel Kiper). And lets not for...

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 ...

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...
