Despite the Browns’ interest in acquiring Buffalo Bills’ cornerback Ashton Youboty, the folks up in Buffalo have made it clear that the team does not intend on opening up trade talks for him at this time.  Rather, they would prefer him to compete for a spot on the team with the three other cornerbacks drafted by the Bills this year.
I can understand Youboty falling out of favor with the Bills because of a high ankle sprain, but also because he missed too much of rookie camp because his mother had passed away?  That sounds pretty brutal.

In a Sirius NFL Radio interview this past Monday, FA OLB Rosevelt Colvin said that he has been contacted by both the Browns and Jets.  Colvin has ties to both teams in that he played under both Romeo Crennel and Eric Mangini while both coached in New England.
Colvin would add some veteran experience at OLB, where the Browns only other real options are Antwan Peek, WIllie McGinest, and Kamerion Wimbley. Wimbley will undoubtedly be one of the starters this season, but things get dicey on the other side where McGinest is playing his last year and Peek is coming off [...]

With the OTAs winding down, there is not too much news revolving around the Browns, at least little that does not have to do with the cornerback situation.  Beat writer Tony Grossi has checked in once again from the OTAs, offering his observations and opinions on a variety of topics surrounding the team.  It’s a quick read, and he gives you enough of that information that only “insiders” like journalists get, but the real entertainment is found in the comments where just about every. single. person. gets on Grossi’s case.
The sarcasm is rich in comments that call for Grossi to [...]

I found this story on The Ebony Bird, the Baltimore Ravens blog in the Fan-Sided universe.  It comes from an article in which Jamal Lewis, the Browns’ current running back, discusses the offensive weapons, or lack thereof, surrounding him when he was playing in Baltimore.  What is most interesting is the fact that Jarrett, the blogger over at TEB, pretty much backs up what Lewis gripes about, even when he had this to say:
“Now I’m with a better team, I’m around better players, and I have help. In the place I was in before, I had no help, so [...]

At a function combining Browns football and a spiritual message, Browns personnel and players addressed a crowd of a few hundred with questions ranging from the team’s cornerback situation to the seemingly daunting schedule.  GM Phil Savage let starting right tackle Kevin Shaffer take on the question of the schedule:
“I love the five big-time games (on night-time national TV). … I feel very confident about our team. I’m excited.”
And his response to the question of “Will you beat the Steelers?”
“Yes.”
Nothing better than some bulletin-board material going into minicamp.  The Pittsburgh Steelers are considered Super Bowl contenders, and [...]

Even with the recent acquistion of Terry Cousin, the Browns are still looking to add another cornerback via a trade or free agency.  The critiea that Phil Savage wants in a cornerback to be acriqueried is a young verteran.  One possiblity is Buffalo Bills CB Ashton Youboty, who went to school not to far at the Ohio State University, where he was coached by current Browns deffensive corodinator Mel Tucker. The Bills have added four cornerbacks this off-season (one FA, and three via the draft) which makes Youboty expendable.
Don’t expect the Browns to go after Ty Law, however.  They feel [...]

CB Daven Holly’s season ended before it even began.  The injured fourth-year has agreed to the one year tender offered to him earlier this spring.  The Browns will now offically waiver-injury him, and once he clears waivers will then be placed on injury-reserve. 

In recent news the Browns have signed 33 year old, vet Terry Cousin to a two year contract, to help fill the need at cornerback.  Don’t look for Cousin to set the world on fire, but he will add a verteran presence to a young depleted CB core.
In other news, Browns tight-end Aaron Shea has announced that he will be retiring due to chronic back problems.  Shea has been under contract with the San Diego Chargers the past two seasons, but did not played due to his injuries, and came back to the Browns this off-season.

Yes, a trade (or signing) is in the works – ideally. Phil Savage has said that the Browns are looking to make a trade for a veteran cornerback to help replace Daven Holly, out for the season after blowing out his knee earlier this week. Two names consistently pop up on the radar – free agent Ty Law and Philadelphia Eagles’ corner Lito Sheppard. However, problems exist in both options:
1. The Browns certainly have enough money to spend on Ty Law, but they are currently “close to the edge of their limits in terms of cash expenditures.” [...]

Well everyone can relax a bit now, Kellen Winslow will attend both the mini camp in June and at training camp in July, both of which are mandatory. This according to Winslow’s new agent Drew Rosenhaus. Rosenhaus was quoted in a recent Youtube video as saying:
“Kellen is coming off of an off-season knee surgery, and he is doing his rehabilitation and his training with a very fine trainer in his hometown of San Diego.”
Now come on folks San Diego vs. Cleveland?? I love Cleveland but if i had the choice between San Diego and Cleveland, 10 [...]
