Browns Links for Friday, January 18th

Kid Cleveland grades the Browns’ defense, and it’s not pretty for the defensive line.

The Cleveland Fan also takes a crack at evaluating the defense.

Here’s the real reason why the Browns and Todd Grantham parted ways.

No love for Derek Anderson (apparently, the list is based on this past year’s performances).

For all the D.A. enthusiasts – contract negotiations have begun.  Negotiations on a new contract for running back Jamal Lewis have begun as well.

Who doesn’t love helping people in need?  And doesn’t love a new T-shirt?  By helping this cause, you get the satisfaction of helping those in desperate need – not to mention a shirt.

Joe Thomas and Brady Quinn are gracing us with an appearance on the cover of Cleveland Magazine.  It should be an insightful, yet uncomfortable and gloriously awkward read.  Thomas is a Pro Bowler in his first season and made a case to be Rookie of the Year.  Brady Quinn is getting the chance to be a backup – again!  Again, Derek Anderson’s got to be wondering what he has to do to get some shred of respect.  People just simply will not forgive him for that Bengals game.

Derek – do you play point guard?  The Cavs could really use one, and I bet a win in the Finals would really make some people happy.  Start working on your shot.
