    Here's my 19. I think we'll end up keeping one or two guys from this list and end up cutting one or two more DB's, but I'm not sure who.

    QB - Bartel, Richard

    RB - Thomas, Marcus - FA Signing from Detroit

    RB - Patrick, Allen

    WR - Ellis, Devale

    WR - Hubbard, Paul (Practice Squad)

    WR - Leggett, Lance

    WR - Stallworth, Donte

    TE - Walker, Aaron - FA Signing from St. Louis (Practice Squad)

    OL - Sowells, Isaac

    OL - Fry, Dustin

    OL - Quarterman, Kurt (we'll have an OL on the practice squad I think)

    DL - Purcell, Melila

    DL - Smith, Shaun

    DL - Thomas, Santonio

    LB - Williams, Leon

    LB - Holloway, David

    LB - Brown, Titus

    DB - Abdullah, Hamza

    DB - Lawson, Gerard

      That's a good list. . . Might be right-on with what I would put together. For some reason I don't think they'll cut Shaun Smith this year, but otherwise I would agree.

      2009 prediction: 8-8, with a much more respectible looking team, and hopefully 3-3 in the division with at least 1 win over each team.

        That's a good stab. No sense reinventing the wheel. I can go with that.

            Lewis rushed for 1000 yards the past 2 seasons and was slow to the hole last year because there were no holes... I see Lewis having a great season in 2009...Keep in mind, he was hurt in preseason and played the year at about 85%... Lewis was the 1st Browns back to have back to back 1000 yard seasons since???????

              Why not use Lewis as FB - He seems big enough. Just not sure how well he can block. Would be a better short yardage guy than Harrison. Harrison had to many big runs last year to just let this guy sit like he did under RAC.

                    I think the 19 above is a good start, but have a few comments.

                    Regarding Fraley, couldn't Steinbach and Hadnot be the backups at C while still being starting Gs? I know Steinbach is thought of as a backup at T, but am I right in thinking that he would be a backup C as well? If Mack starts day 1, then that would enable you to cut Fraley - Steinbach would be able to handle the mentoring thing as well assist in line calls. I can't imagine a new coach who is trying to turn over his roster keeping a backup o-lineman (and a tired old vet to boot) that can play only one position.

                    Also, if steptoe is cut, then who is the backup kick returner?

                        Looks like you put your thinking cap on and figured out how that kind of thing works. Nice job inspecta.

                          Also, I think we should cut Shaun Rogers...he's no Srinivasa Ramanujan!

                            What?! Vickers was a pro bowl alternate and they have nobody to really replace Wimbley yet.

                              Other than the stupid guy, the only major cut I disagree with is Shaun Smith.

                              While I think the guy is an ass, and I don't really want him on our team, he's a serviceable NT. Who's going to back up Shaun Rogers if Shaun Smith is not on the team?

                                I don't think we can cut off practice squad players and expect to arrive at the number.

                                Just thinking out loud here.

                                  Lewis is in another contract year. I expect him to come in buff and hungry, looking to squeeze out one last deal. A lot of his fall off last year can be blamed on Fraley, who got bitched all year long. Mack and hopefully Tucker make this a power running team again.

                                  The more I think about it, the more this situation is perfect for Quinn. He's going to have a nice set of receivers, a terrific line, and a hungry Jamal Lewis.

                                  It does add up for Quinn....I will assume he is the guy.

                                  I think as much that went wrong last season might go our way this season.

                                  We might be much better than people think...and face it, Mangini has to be a better game coach...that will have to add something towards possibly pulling out a extra game or two.

                                  If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                                      Quinn for sure.

                                      The guy's a douche and has yet to figure out how to win the Lombardi from the practice field.

                                      Plus if he starts this year then we have to pay him some money. Can you imagine that? Paying your starting QB money? Who would be stupid enough to do that?

                                      Quinn's a goner, so get ready to see DA continue to "dissect" the defenses of the league. 🙄

                                      couldn't you have replied with that in the right thread? he was on a tear at 9am, you'd probably be sitting on a big rubber ring right now. he actually showed you a little respect in the reply too. pretty weak i must say but whatever, not my battle.

                                        the less intelligent ones:

                                        Beau Bell

                                        Lawrence Vickers

                                        Kamerian Wimbley

                                        HAHA. Let's just let a pro bowl FB who has done a GREAT job, our former 1st round/only pass rush threat walk... RIIIGHT. I'd be shocked to see Bell dropped this early as well. He is cheap and in a position of need.

                                        Vickers was barely an alternate and Ali is a better blocker and hitter, and cheaper. great job? i can distinctly recall two drives he singlehandedly killed due to a)lack of intelligence b)me-first atttitude. not the recipe for Mangini core values he has continually listed. Vickers will either be utilized as a hybrid TE utilizing his hands or he's gone. if he has value that's exactly why he'd be traded.

                                        Wimbley and Bell are safe bets for the axe. Bell needs to beat the former Jet "measuring sticks" to make the team and Kam needs to outshine the new hand-picked youth. i don't think they will.

                                        remind me again what predictions you have been right about before? i currently have bets running on Lewis and Edwards, made months ago. put some of your own ideas out there so i can hold you to them, you see sisky's. oh wait, weren't you the b-mac=breakout year guy? where'd that go?

                                          Wright signed with Arizona I believe.

                                          We've got Lewis, Harrison, Herron and Davis at RB.

                                          I think Orr and S. Smith are goners for sure.

                                          We might keep Steptoe and get rid of Sanders and Hubbard.

                                          I wouldn't be shocked to see Steptoe go before Norwood.
