Though it’s far from the biggest problem facing the Official $ite these days, I can’t resist noting their current poll: Who is the best player the Browns have landed during free agency since 1999? OL Joe Andruzzi CB Gary Baxter OL LeCharles Bentley DL/LB Kenard Lang DL Orpheus Roye Completely forgotten is the best free […]
Let’s try to put this in simple terms. With the credibility he had to the Browns front office, Butch Davis did everything he could for his favorite players. With the credibility he had to his favorite players, Romeo Crennel is doing everything he can for the Browns front office. I like this way better.
When Joe Jurevicius, one of the newest Cleveland Browns, takes the field next September, he will be the oldest wide receiver to play for the Browns since their resurrection in 1999. In fact, by my unofficial reckoning, he’ll be the oldest Browns WR since Reggie Rucker, who was 34 in his final season back in […]
If new left tackle Kevin Shaffer plays out the majority of his seven-year, $36 million contract in Cleveland, he’ll rapidly rise in the ranks of those Browns who have worn the number 77. Several have been left tackles, and the variety of personalities among this numerical cohort is especially wide. In terms of games played […]
I must admit I wasn’t at all familiar with Kevin Shaffer until I heard today that he will apparently be the Browns’ new left tackle, presumably for a good, long time. While I can’t comment on whether his deal is fair, or whether Phil Savage made a good move in not giving in to whatever […]
Remember back in 2003, when the Browns insisted that all their draft picks sign five-year contracts? It was a hardball maneuver which denied these players the sure chance to hit free agency after the four years specified in the collective bargaining agreement. Training camp opened, and every last one of those rookies held out, even […]
I’m as eager as anyone to see which stars Phil Savage can lasso as the clouds finally part from the free agent sky. Talk has been of more quality and less quantity than last year’s somewhat frantic patch-up job. Sounds good to me. But amid all the excitement of potential acquisitions, let’s at least take […]
Here’s my first post written specifically for this here shiny new blog on Munilot. I’m still getting used to this platform, but it promises to be an improvement over my previous two homes, those being my original site, founded in 2002, at Blogger, and the fanmonster.com blog generously hosted by OBR.com’s own Barry McBride. The […]
Reuben Droughns’ new contract looks like a clear winner for all involved, but if Tony Grossi’s source is to be believed, it really looks like quite a coup for Phil Savage and the Browns. Here’s why: Droughns was scheduled to earn $1.15 in 2006. Per Grossi: Droughns, who had one year left on the contract […]
