DL - Mosley, C.J. - FA Signing from NY Jets, 3/6: LINK
Anyone got the low down on this guy? I can't recall ever hearing about him.

Browns Sign Poteat. The team website has it up its for sure.
Here is the link: Browns sign Poteat from Jets
9 year Vet. 4 INTS in total career, all coming in last two seasons, Hmmm, BMac has beaten that record in two seasons. I can't really comment on this guy as I have not seen him play and perhaps he has a 1,000 PBUs or something. Would be interested in views from those who know more about this guy.

So my hunch was correct, why did we make this signing? I'm beginning to think the silent Berea treatment is because there is no one home.
Tailgate loving, Steelers hating, Trans-Atlantic Browns fan. Annually disappointed since '88. Annually optimistic since '88. GO BROWNS! -
I don't see a problem adding a veteran for depth. He won't start, but adding veteran depth is a fine plan.

Looking over these moves...you may question one or two..but when looked as a whole it makes good sense.
My personal line by line analysis would be something like this:
Dorsey and Gradkowski - Neither showed the ability to move the team in their stints last year. While we know that the offense was struggling last year...their TOTAL inability to move the club guaranteed the both would be gone.
Joe Jurevicious - I liked the guy...but face it...he was slow 2 years ago...is coming off of an injury...and this team needs to evaluate the young guys at the WR position (something we failed to do last year). So JJ was going to be doing nothing but taking up reps for the young guys.
Winslow/Royal - We saw the team move well w/o Winslow last year...and we have heard rumors of this being a run first/WCO hybrid. Winslow didn't fit...he wasn't happy here...and he garnered good picks in return. Royal has always been solid...and may be a perfect fit here if Rucker or Heiden can't fill in. Good depth at the least.
Eric Young - We got him off an injury for nothing...so ending the experiment was no big surprise
Mosley/Bowens/Poteat/Elam - this is vintage Parcells/BB stuff. Go out and get a bunch of guys you know to provide depth and inspiration at positions of need. At the very least it gives the team depth and drafting freedom/options. At best we may get 1 or 2 starters out of the bunch.
Davis/Peek - LB was our worst position...and we have been complaining about these two for the past 2 years. Davis just didn't get it done and Peek rarely saw the field. These were OBVIOUS moves.
Mike Adams - He is a classic BB guy...somebody who is inexpensive and versatile enough to fill in multiple positions. I was worried when he visited NE.
Terry Cousins - what is there to say...he got burned more than a blind kid trying to read braille on the stove.
Cargile/Daniels - Neither saw the field much....and when they did were nothing but Cousins look-a-likes.
Sean Jones - We all discussed this. He was going to ask too much. The deal he signed surprised me by being a 1 yr deal...but I think HE may have pushed for it after not finding the numbers he thought would be out there. He may believe he can make tons in 2010 with a good season this year. It did leave a hole, but rumors of Cribbs moving to S may make this a more logical move...and Adams didn't exactly shrink from the position last year.
Kevin Shaffer - He was cut before a $1.45M bonus...and is overpaid. He may be resigned at a more cap friendly salary...but if not, keep in mind he is responsible for 3 QB's getting hurt over the past few years.
Dragosavich/Reda - Kickers. So what. That was probably the one area we DIDN'T suck last year.
Like I said. If you look at these moves as a hole...we are doing well.
We have gained a 2nd round draft pick...picked up needed depth at DL/LB/DB/TE with core type players who know Mangini...cleared cap space...and kept the one FA that we felt showed real promise.
We have also made this team younger (sorry JJ). And as for the Shaffer thing...Tucker can take it for one more year...then we go out and get a RT road grader so we can run the damn ball.

I completely agree. Nothing too flashy yet, but it seems like we're clearing dead & underproducing money, and bringing in some good depth and good youth & growth potential. We certainly still need a few more players signed to make this complete. And I hope there are a few more moves to get a few draft picks. . . otherwise all of this cap-clearing work only serves to save Lerner some cash (which won't be popular with the fans).

So my hunch was correct, why did we make this signing? I'm beginning to think the silent Berea treatment is because there is no one home.
you're just withdrawling because their isn't anyone leaking shit to the press every time ya turm around.

I hope you're right. I'm keeping my mouth shut until the end of April now I think!
As long as we don't turn into the Cleveland Jets.

So I did something similar a year or so ago, and wanted to try it again. Below I've listed the entire roster, and I've tried to add information on cuts, trades, FA Signings (Yes, all of them. . . ) so we can have a comprehensive resource on how the roster has changed. I think it's useful, if nobody else does, then I'll remove it, or put it within the free-agency thread.
So, give your input and help on anything I've missed. Include links so I can add them. Here goes:
UPDATES: Using ESPN, NFL.com, and kffl.com, I've updated some Free Agents. Louis Leonard seems unconfirmed. Also, I can't find any information on Devale Ellis. He's not on the 'roster' page from clevelandbrowns.com, and he's not listed as a Brown on NFL.com.

Cleveland Browns lose Jason Wright to Cardinals
by Tony Grossi/Plain Dealer Reporter
Monday March 16, 2009, 12:08 PM
CLEVELAND -- Browns running back and special teams core player Jason Wright has agreed to a two-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals for about $2 million.
Wright will replace J.J. Arrington, who signed with Denver, as the Cardinals' third-down back. The Arizona coaches believe Wright will be an upgrade in pass protection and on special teams.
"It's just a great opportunity for Jason to go to a team that went to the Super Bowl last year," agent Mike McCartney said. "We feel Arizona is a good fit for him."
The Browns did make an offer to retain Wright, McCartney said.
Wright's rushing totals were down last year (23 carries, 85 yards) as the Browns gave more opportunities to Jerome Harrison and Josh Cribbs. But the blitz-pickup specialist still participated in more than 30 percent of the offensive snaps in 2008.
Wright also had 22 catches and was a regular on most of the special teams.
"Jason leaves with tremendous feelings about the Browns," McCartney said.

Thanks for the update. I'm sorry to see Wright go. I liked his smarts, leadership, work ethic. . . and he was great a picking up blitzers.
