The Cleveland Plain Dealer says the Browns' new coaching staff is "spending a lot of time" evaluating Montario Hardesty.
Hardesty is due $575,000 entering his contract year. The Browns are reportedly looking for a change-of-pace back behind Trent Richardson, and it remains to be seen if Hardesty can be that guy. Impending free agent Brandon Jackson isn't expected back, and plodder Chris Ogbonnaya is a restricted free agent. Feb 10 - 11:38 AM

I really liked what I saw from Hardesty last season but it may be time to trade him. His contract is up after the season so they may want to move him now while he has more value.
If they can get a good offer I think he will be gone. If it was my decision I would trade him for a player at a position of need.
They now have their change of pace back. I like it!

you liked what you saw from a guy, so let's trade him?
how about we carry 3 backs TR, hardesty, and oogabooga?
this guy prob won't even make it thru training camp before getting cut.
we've seen plenty of small slippery backs....and they never make it past 3 yrds or if that, the bench.
granted if hardesty doesn't contribute this year he's gone but he isn't worth as much as mccoy was in trade value.

If I were the Browns, I would use Lewis on screen passes as much as possible. Also returned kicks for us in 2011.
-
Hardesty looked pretty good last season. I remember he looked better than Trent in the few games he played.
-
Hardesty was quite explosive, just not very powerful. Should be kept unless we can get GOOD value in a trade

YES! That is when you trade a guy like him. When he is doing well and before his contract expires! Makes perfect sense. He is never going to be our number 1 back unless Trent gets injured to the point where his career is over. So after this year he will walk and we will get nothing for him. How does that make any sense. This is a business and all players are assets. He has value, and I think unlike whoever said it that the value is MORE than Colt McCoy's value was. Maybe package him for a trade up on draft day.

This kid is awesome. Why bitch?
First thing the Browns have done right in 5 years
Bring in talented players instead of scrubs. It's all about the talent.
Dion Lewis should be starting on NFL teams.

They were going to have to do something to try to replace Cribbs on punt/kick returns. Maybe this guy is the answer..because that question is still out there.
And with TR an Eric Metcalf/Darren Sproles type of back is needed here. Maybe he can be that.
-
After watching that NFL video he looks to be a Darren Sproles type guy with supreme quickness

Browns just picked up the LB that the Eagles cut after trading for Acho.The guys name is Rau. 290ish tackles in college.

Rau? Pronounced "raw"?
Let's just hope he is not a mad dog in a meat market.

What about Sproles? Who was a high caliber player for 2 different teams?

ok. really?
think about chip kelly=oregon ducks=tailback city ala lamichael james.
if kelly thought this guy would pan out to be a sproles or even a james do you really think he would have traded him for a LB who was less than zero for us?
sure things can happen and he might turn out to be great. but i ain't putting money on that bet.
but as someone says he might here to replace cribbs on special teams, but cribbs did a lot more than return kicks/punts. and i thought benjamin did a decent job for us when asked upon.
if we carry 4 rbs...he'll be on the bottom.

i agree. although heavy with big names we've never landed any of them. it's always scrub for scrub.
gotta fill a practice squad somehow i guess.

Let's hope he is as solid as Doug Rau.
