Daily Dawg Tags brings you all the news you need to know in order to keep up with the Cleveland Browns and the rest of the NFL.

The Cleveland Browns were in the news some this week as they came to terms with a new assistant special teams coach. There was also some discussion about their quarterback position as apparently A.J. McCarron really wanted the failed trade which would have sent him to Cleveland from Cincinnati to go through.

McCarron being a part of the team would have been huge. The Browns would have been able to start him and know whether or not they could believe in him as a starter. Now, should they go for him again in the offseason, he still will be fairly untested as the main guy.

That news and more can be found here in our Daily Dawg Tags.

"It may sound odd that a receiver-needy team replete with cash should avoid the NFL’s reigning receptions leader, but there’s more than meets the eye with Landry. His volume stats are gaudy, but the tape doesn’t show a receiver worth $12 million-plus annually."
