If DB Jereme Perry makes the team and appears in a game for the Browns this season — and his odds are pretty decent — he will become the first “sandwicher” of the new Browns era. I use the term to mean a player who appears in a regular season game for the Browns both […]
As the Browns sort through their impressions of the rookie minicamp, signing seven of the 54 tryout players and dropping six of the recently-signed UDFAs, plus practice squad holdover RB Kory Chapman, it’s nice to see my favorite current Brown, Joshua Cribbs, make Sports Illustrated‘s listing of the top UDFAs between 1994 and 2005.
Gotta like the idea of inviting a whopping 54 players to try out this weekend’s minicamp. Yep, that’s in addition to the five draftees and 15 undrafted free agents signed this week. Some of the tryout invitees played for big-time programs and slipped through the cracks in the draft and the ensuing flurry of signings. […]
Beat writer Steve Doerschuk has a nice blog post today, reflecting on some of the undrafted free agents of the Browns’ recent past. Relive the brief but unforgotten Browns careers of Bill Duff, C.J. Jones, “Sweaty” Rob Smith, and Clint Stickdorn here.
For the second straight year, Phil Savage has traded away a future pick to load up on draft day. This time, he did it twice. He sent next year’s third-rounder for Dallas’ mid-fourth, used on Missouri TE Martin Rucker. Then, he reacquired the sixth-rounder sent to Philly for Hank Fraley by giving them next-year’s fifth. […]
When a runner like Jamal Lewis is your workhorse, and your young QB lit it up last year largely because he managed to get the ball out of there promptly, the interior of your offensive line is especially important.See, Lewis has size, but he’s not your typical pounder in the mold of Bettis, Duckett, and […]
Before baseball season hits full stride and April Fools Day diminishes the credibility of anything you might read, here’s a quick recap of Browns news since the Pro Bowl. This off-season’s moves could prove enough to send this team over the top. (I might say the same thing about my Detroit Tigers, but time will […]
Brady Quinn’s rookie holdout was the worst decision of his life. And given some of the situations this young celebrity has found himself in, that’s saying something. If this wasn’t perfectly obvious at the time last summer, the new contract and vote of confidence for Derek Anderson cements the deal. Let me count the reasons. […]
The Browns’ key free-agent-to-be, Jamal Lewis, will clearly be rewarded handsomely for his outstanding 2007 debut season in Cleveland. But it will be interesting to see exactly how his contract negotiations play out. Lewis will be 29 when next season starts, but the big back proved he still has plenty to offer. In essentially 14 […]
Some week, huh? We get the Chud drama settling with a reassuring contract extension. There’s Phil Savage’s season-wrapping presser and all its news hooks, including a possible extension for honcho Romeo himself. Then, an intriguing team and media story with Todd Grantham’s ouster. Mel Tucker, the secondary coach, has been promoted to lead the defense. […]
