Watch this video its all of Phil Dawsons best moments. There is a fake FG for a TD that I cannot remember happening.

AND THIS IS WHAT IS CONFUSING!!!

Look around the 5 minute mark. Since when did Phil Dawson ever play for the Patriots??????

This clearly says he has only ever been with the Browns: http://www.nfl.com/players/phildawson/profile?id=DAW705989

SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN BEFORE I GO CRAZY!

Phil Dawson came from New England in 1999,also the same year he scored on a fake FG. You guys must be young if you can't remember 1999 when the Browns came back.

How is this possible? He was with us @ the 1999 Hall of Fame Game.

IDK because he didnt kick a field for the Patriots in 1999 the Patriots had this guy named Adam Vineteri kicking for them.

I am 20, but I have a shitty memory...

I wont be surprised if the Stoolers bring Dawson in for a "look see" in light of Suishams performance yesterday...But I doubt they'll pay him the money he wants...My gut says Dallas....

I will say this yet again...we are stupid if we let him go. Reliable placekickers are rare; you have one, you keep him.

Well, I had to look it up myself. He wasn't drafted by the Browns- and picked up as a FA. Did spend time on the Patriots Practice Squad.

Dawson was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Oakland Raiders, who then waived him. He was picked up by the New England Patriots and assigned to the practice squad, but never appeared in a game for them. The Cleveland Browns signed him as a free agent in March 1999, and he has remained with the team ever since (and is the only player left from the 1999 squad). Dawson holds the team record for most consecutive field goals made (27) and most field goals in a game (6). Dawson is currently the 7th most accurate kicker in the NFL. On October 10, 2010, Dawson tied Lou Groza for the Browns' career field-goal record with 234. The two are tied for 35th in NFL history.

Exactly.

He's a place kicker, for Christ's sake. He can still be reliable for a couple of seasons.

Yeah we seriously need to get Dawson Signed, i mean if we could complain and have Cribbs get a new deal why can we not do the same for Dawson....He is the only member still here from 1999 he deserves a Superbowl Ring in Cleveland

It sure as hell looks like he appeared in a game for them from the video I posted.
