Report: Shaun Rogers Deal Close to Fruition

When Phil Savage says the Browns will be active in free agency, he means it.  The whirlwind weekend continues as it was confirmed that the team was in talks with the Detroit Lions for defensive lineman Shaun Rogers.  Here’s the problem: the Browns are expected to give up their third-round pick and, possibly, cornerback Leigh [...]

Anderson Off the Market Quickly

Let’s pretend some of that last post never happened.  If things stay this way, the Brady Quinn era will not begin in 2008.  The news now is that Derek Anderson and the Browns have reached a three-year, $26 million deal with $14.5 guaranteed (including his $1 million roster bonus).
With the addition of DL Corey Williams, [...]

Anderson Declines; the Brady Quinn Era to Begin

It didn’t take long for Derek Anderson to decline the Browns’ offer of three-years, $20 million and become a restricted free agent. Only the Browns would discover a Pro Bowl quarterback, capitalize on his arm one year, and then lose him the very next season. However, there is an actual plan in place here. [...]

Looks Like the Browns Won’t Nab Bernard Berrian

Apparently, the Vikings and Titans are two teams looking to bid for Berrian’s services.  As the front-runners in these particular sweepstakes, one would think that the Browns would be out of the race.  It’s not like the team doesn’t have enough cap space.  The team just isn’t willing to get into a bidding war with [...]

Regarding the contract, GM Phil [...]

The original offer on the table was three years and $16 million, with $11 million guaranteed. However, he turned it down and the two sides were forced to go [...]

The Best (and Dirtiest) Names in Sports

I just cannot get a certain Fagg out of my head.  De’Cody Fagg, that is.  Upon hearing of his career-ending injury, I felt this calling to find out where his name ranks among the best.  What’s not surprising is that De’Cody has one of the best names in history of mankind.  What is surprising is [...]

De’Cody Fagg - Done Before He Even Started

This has little to do with the Browns, but I felt it was my duty to let it be known that De’Cody Fagg suffered a very serious knee injury at the Combine this past weekend. Unfortunately, football fans will most likely never hear from the man with one of the most ridiculous names in [...]

Browns Looking to Add WR Bernard Berrian

Should the Chicago Bears’ wide receiver Bernard Berrian become a free agent on the 29th, you can bet that the Browns will be hot on his trail.  He’s looking for over $20 million over the first three years of his new deal, but he would be a superb complement to Braylon Edwards.  The wide receiver [...]
