    Let's give Brandon Lloyd a 1-yr deal to rehabilitate his career.. 1 yr, 2M is more than what he was going to make in NE before he was cut.

    I like your thinking, but without looking it up hasnt he been injured alot the last few years?

    Maybe time to let him go to pasture if you ask me.

    bad chemistry at his last two teams. But his 1400 yd season was 2 seasons ago and seems longer than that. Perhaps just 1yr/1M.

    If we're going to sign a FA WR, Alexander has to be that guy.. not lloyd.

  • Hey, Banner: Shut up and resign Dawson. Yesterday.

    Who are you going to replace him with, Tynes: who was 1-3 from 50+ while Dawson was 7-7?

    Either guy. Lloyd didn't have a bad season last year. 900 yards and 4 TD in an offense with Welker as the #1 option and two TEs as the #2 and #3. One year deal for him would be good. Alexander would be a nice young pick up, has proven to be a great producer when healthy, but last season was his only healthy season out of 3. Both guys are gambles.

    Dawson wants out and its 10+ mill to tag him...unless we pony up like 5 mill he's gone.

  • Ryan Fitzpatrick signed with Titans

    ^+1. If you saw the other thread, with Banner's comments- something is up. Joe isn't saying until Dawson signs somewhere, though he did leave the door open to resigning Phil. Unless they're in cap hell, you think the 49ers wouldn't want to upgrade Akers?

    matt hasselbeck goes from titans to be backup to in indy.

  • Pollard to the Titans

    Reed to the Texans

    Jennings to the Vikings

    McClain given permission by Raiders to seek a trade --> I wouldn't mind offering a 6th or 7th for this guy - he'd beat out either TJ Ford or Gocong for a backup ILB spot. Neither of them were going to do much long-term for us anyway.

    Cribbs failed his physical in Arizona because of a partially torn meniscus.. Is he still under contract to Cleveland or not?

    Dumerville is now taking FA visits.

    Munnerlyn resigned with Carolina.

    Ben Watson signed with the Saints.

    Brandon Myers signed with NYG.

  • Browns are hosting Kellen Davis TE from Chicago today...

    I get the feeling they're not getting Fred Davis TE, and they already lost Brandon Myers

    I'm assuming offensive FAs are not looking at Cleveland very highly b/c of our unconfidence at the QB position. These players know QB is the most important position on the offense, and I'm thinking they're not sold on Weeden throwing them the ball. Reports had us talking to Edelman, Myers, F.Davis, and Brandon Gibson... but none have panned out yet.

    I'm still waiting to hear about Grimes, but usually the farther away it gets from a visit, the less likely they sign so it's not looking good.

    We despirately need to add talent to the CB position. If we can't get somebody decent through FA, then the #6 pick will certainly be Milliner... assuming he's still there.

    And OLB, and ILB, and S, and OG, and QB, and FB....

    Has to be BPA.. I haven't seen any reason to expect Milliner not to go to DET

  • Dawson's replacement? Harvard Rugland.....

    "While Dawson was on the conference call -- something he initiated so he could address the fans and media here one last time -- the Browns were already trying to fill his enormous shoes. They brought in "Kickalicious," a Norwegian trick-shot artist named Havard Rugland, who's seeking an NFL contract. But it was just a look-see, and it's highly doubtful they'll sign him. "

    ESPN had him rated only the 54th best cornerback available in FA. His Atlanta teammate, Brent Grimes, who I thought we were after was rated tied for #1.

    So? WTF is up?

    He's just a body to compete for nickel, dime spots in camp. third round pick, must have some talent , worth a look.

  • Browns signed TE Kellen Davis from Chicago to a one year deal to compete with Cameron and Barnidge.

  • This was about 5th down the list after googling him, maybe we should take a look at Chris Rainey too... thin line between love & hate. 😆

    NFL Player Allegedly DESTROYS Ex's Apartment

    Atlanta Falcons cornerback Christopher Owens is under investigation in Georgia for allegedly smashing up his baby mama's apartment and dousing her most valuable possessions in bleach ... TMZ has learned.

    http://www.tmz.com/2011/06/14/atlanta-falcons-christopher-owens-police-report-bleach-attack-georgia-gwinnett-county/

  • So this season we signed a coach arrested for driving through a fast food restaurant drive thru naked and drunk...lol

    A defensive lineman who ripped a guys door off its hinges drunk and probably high on bath salts.

    And a defensive back that destroyed his gfs house and poured bleach all over her shit... fucking Lombardi is turning us into the Bengals lol

  • In addition to Grimes who was rated tied for #1, CBs still out there include DeAngelo Hall and Quentin Jammer both rated tied for #1, and Awesomewha...rated #2.
