    Anything is better than our third string Qb, that defines what dumb is.

    My guess is they go after Mike Kafka

    He is like... cockroach fast...or so I hear.

      Here are a few names of guys released today. Just wondering if any could be upgrades from what we have now.....I am mainly looking at backup OL...or WR....or QB or anything else that looks interesting:

      OG John Moffit Eagles

      OG Mike Leidtke Dolphins

      OT Donald Hawkins Dolphins

      WR Rasheed Bailey Eagles

      WR Andre Davis Bills (not the same guy we used to have, is it?)

      I will add more as they start to come out......thoughts?

      This is a different Andre Davis than we had. This one was undrafted. Did Buffalo really cut this guy? I read he had a really good camp; and repeatedly beat Gilbert as easy as breathing. Beating corners wasn't exclusive to Gilbert though. I could see this kid going to GB, getting reps and succeeding there if we're not interested.

      I walked away more impressed with Olsen than Seymour as a Center, whom I'm guessing could play OG as well. I think Erving can play Center and OT reasonably well if needed (but not at the Joe Thomas standard we're used to as others have point out). It looks like they wanted him familiar with OG as well.

      Oline is a chemistry thing so guys that have barely shared game action together in Guard-Tackle tandems probably weren't going to play their best football with a QB like Lewis and whatever we had left playing RB. Having said that, a couple weeks ago (w/ Manziel at QB) they didn't look nearly that bad. Some of our fans cautioned not to get too excited about Manziel elevating the level of play around him.

      I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!"

        I would love us to pick up James Jones asap. Maybe Matt Flynn as a backup QB?

                    I like Yates as well, but don't want a third QB on the active roster... just like Chip Kelly...

                    Tebow... lol... the way NFL Network is acting you'd think he'd never been cut before...

                      Browns trying to add veteran running back

                      Posted by Zac Jackson on September 5, 2015, 12:17 PM EDT

                      As the Browns finalize their roster cuts and sort through their outside options, a team source tells PFT the team has prioritized finding a veteran running back either by trade, waiver claim or signing at some point this weekend.

                      The source said veteran players have relayed to the coaches their feelings that the younger backs and the offense in general will benefit from a veteran presence, on and off the field.

                        QB Waiver update sat. 4:05pm, not much better but all reports not in either. K Novak cut in SD.
