Well there won’t be any rookie hold-outs this season, which is a good thing considering they are all 4th round or lower picks and can’t afford to miss any time at all. Each of the picks are signed through the 2011 season, however no other terms of the contracts have been released.
Left to right: [...]

Just wanted everyone to know about a new series we will be running the next two weeks.  We will be covering the impact of all the draft picks and off-season moves of each team in the AFC North. This will be a four part series with each post covering a new team, and wrapping up [...]

Gerard Lawson, an undrafted cornerback signed by the Browns, was a teammate of Derek Anderson at Oregon State in 2004, and had his locker right next to the current Browns quarterback.  And yet, even he was blown away by the emergence of D.A. in 2007:
“Back in Oregon, we were like … ‘D.A.?’”
It’s understandable; after all, [...]

At the beginning of April, I wrote a little something about Beau Bell, then a linebacker for UNLV, making a pre-draft visit to the Browns.  He was on Phil Savage’s radar for quite some time, and to make sure he was the Browns’ guy, Savage traded the team’s 122nd overall pick and their fifth-round pick [...]

I’m going to level with you: I did not watch the NFL Draft this weekend.  At all.  In other words, I never saw the picks the Browns were making until after the fact.  I do, however, have a good reason for this.  I spent the weekend at home and was driving back to school on [...]

Let’s say your girlfriend/wife wants to have a nice day with you Saturday - go for a walk, see a movie, go out to dinner, whatever - and she gives you one of those We-never-do-anything-together looks.  Don’t make matters worse; go out with her, because Browns fans will not be missing much when it comes [...]

John over at Cat Crave has compiled a great, comprehensive breakdown of every NFL team’s recent years in the Draft.  Now, this database only covers the first two rounds of the draft between 2003 and 2007.  Nevertheless, it definitely does not make the Browns look too shabby at all.  In fact, those first two rounds [...]

Two players made pre-draft visits to Cleveland on Friday - inside linebackers Jared Mayo of Tennessee and Beau Bell of UNLV.  Mayo is ranked as high as the second-best inside linebacker in the draft, so unless the Browns move up, he will remain little more than a pipe dream.  However, Bell is also another 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 [...]

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 [...]
