Offensive Line Stays Strong

Who would have thought that LeCharles Bentley would almost be an afterthought in the Browns’ plans at this point?  That’s not to say the team has forgotten about the star signing of 2006, but Phil Savage is certainly keeping the offensive line deep without having to rely on Bentley and what is left of his [...]

Browns Sixth in Power Rankings

With the kind of offseason that the Browns have had, it seems as if someone should pinch all of the team’s fans to make sure they are not dreaming.  How else does one explain the Browns landing at number six in the Yahoo! Sports Power Rankings?  Heading into last season, Cleveland was a perennial cellar [...]

The Glory that is Shaun Rogers

If this does not get you pumped up to see Shaun Rogers next season, then I do not know what will. I really don’t.

The Browns? Are They in the Tournament?

The Browns have literally been doing nothing for awhile, and their apparent lack of interest in linebacker Clark Haggans makes it hard to believe that the team will sign another name in free agency. Not that it couldn’t happen, but it seems unlikely.
More importantly, this is the time of year when there is this [...]

Clark Haggans Supposedly Visiting This Week

Whether or not the Browns nab Clark Haggans will paint the picture for the rest of the team’s offseason.  If he visits and leaves Cleveland with a new contract, then you can believe that the Browns will essentially be done with free agency.  It would be worth it to take another look at Rosevelt Colvin [...]

Losing Chaun Thompson Puts Browns Back in Free Agency

Phil Savage would have been content signing Chaun Thompson in an attempt to help solidify the linebacking corps.  However, he just signed with the Houston Texans for a chance to start, and I can’t blame him.  “Say Chaun, would you like to rarely, if ever, start in Cleveland or start near your hometown?”  Yeah, so [...]

Gary Baxter, One of Our Favorite Pipe Dreams

The Browns signed him to a one-year contract on Thursday, hoping he can complete his comeback with the team.  You know, before he had all this trouble with his knees, he was a very solid cornerback, never missing a game because of injury when he played with the Ravens.  In 2003, he totaled 101 tackles [...]

D’Qwell Jackson Primed for Great ‘08

Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports thinks so, at least.  By choosing one player from each team, Robinson picked 32 players capable of raising their games to another level in 2008.  For the Browns, it was linebacker D’Qwell Jackson:
Jackson has already developed into a solid middle linebacker after only two seasons. But with the offseason [...]

Let’s Re-Sign Chaun Thompson, and Take the Chance on Al Wilson

In terms of available linebackers, the free agency pool is draining quickly.  Phil Savage has hardly any options to choose from, and his best is in the form of a guy who is coming off a neck injury that kept him out for all of the 2007 season.  Therefore, Savage has turned his attention to [...]

Browns Looking at LB Al Wilson

Here is a high risk/high reward option for the Browns.  The team is looking at linebacker Al Wilson, formerly of the Denver Broncos.  Wilson is a former All-Pro linebacker and a former leader of a dominating defense.  However, a neck injury (after running into everyone’s favorite player, Gerard Warren) forced him to sit out all [...]
