Well as predicted elsewhere the Cleveland Browns have released wide receiver Donte Stallworth as of monday, and he is said to be working out for an undisclosed team at some point this week. This was no big surprise in Cleveland, it was the popular assumption. Mainly for 2 reasons, one being strict behavioral standards set in place by coach Mangini since he took the job, and two he wasnt worth a damn as a receiver. Perhaps he will find success, and redemption ( he did take a life after all ), but it will not be with the Browns.
The new look Browns seem to be taking care of buisness under Mike Holmgren. Nearly the entire front office has been restaffed, this time with a credible, and capable team of executives. Their combined experience coupled with the upcoming draft (in which we have 11 picks ), and the Saints proving that the SuperBowl can be won by a historically bad team, makes this a very exciting time to be a fan. Go Browns.[/b]

Any chance of Kosar coming out of retirement?

It's a shame.
As an outsider (who really loved the Browns of the '80s), it sucks seeing a once-proud franchise lose everything that made them so cool back in the day. I think I've mentioned this, but the two AFC Championship games against the Broncos (especially the '86 game) were simply some of the best football I've ever seen played.
Then again, I'm an O's fan, so I understand loving a team that sucks.

Damn that Ernest Byner (though that was '87).

Well once again the rumors, and trade winds are swirling in Cleveland. Word has it that the newly hired GM ( Heckert formerly of the Eagles ) is desperate to land Philadelphia's back up QB Kevin Kolb ( whom Heckert drafted ) in some kind of trade deal. Speculation to this point has had the Browns giving up draft picks for him, but recent insider talk has the Browns possibly trading even up NT Shaun Rogers for Kolb. Heckert having recently vacated his post in Philly believes the Eagles are looking to make a defensive move to strengthen the pass rush, and Rogers would fit that bill, and the Eagle defense. You might ask why the Browns would consider moving yet another member of their meager talent pool in the offseason? The answer is simple, we need a QB, but if you need more than that to persuade you, how about this? The Browns defense, and pass rush in particular played even better last season after Rogers ankle injury that sidelined him for half of the season. Replacement NT Ahtya Rubin surpassed Rogers performance at the position, making the former Detroit Lion expendable, or spendable depending on how you look at it. I say if you can, do it, do it all night long.

If the Eagles are even willing to deal Kolb. Donovan isnt getting any younger so the Eagles may want to keep him. This all worries me though, Rogers is not really what could be considered a level headed person. If he finds out that the team has talked about him in a trade it could be a disaster.

Team president Mike Holmgren acknowledged that its a longshot ( highly unlikely ) that both QB Brady Quinn, and QB Derek Anderson will remain on the roster for 2010. As far as Anderson is concerned it seems there may be some interest in his skills out in Arizona. The Cards now left with Matt Leinart as starter will be looking for a decent back up. Im not sure they are looking in the right place.

Well its official the Cleveland Browns have "Paid the Man!" Josh Cribbs has been given his new contract. 3 years with a max potential of 20 million (7.5 million guaranteed ). Clearly Holmgren is sending a message to the team that good performance will be rewarded. Cribbs has just become potentially the highest paid Special Teams player ever. Worth every penny. Way to go Josh, and as always go Browns.

The Browns meet today with LB Scott Fujita free agent from the Super Bowl Champion Saints. Im not sure how I feel about this situation, the Browns have converted to a 3-4, and I believe Fujita comes from a 4-3. This in itself isnt a problem, but 2 years ago the Browns made a trade to the Packers for LB Corey Williams (also from a 4-3) , and it was a huge mistake. Williams was traded to the Lions 2 days ago, and now he can piss off all their fans by talking about hating Detroit the way he hated Cleveland. All that said Fujita has always struck me as a class individual, and I dont forsee any problems of that nature arising from him.
