Cleveland Browns (2007 & prior)

Anything we get from LeCharles at this point, be it this year or next, would be a bonus in my book. Damn shame.

Savage: Browns' draftees from '06 need to step up
Friday, May 18, 2007

Phil Savage stuck out his right thumb to indicate expectations for his 3-4-5 hitters from the 2006 draft. The thumb said, "Up, up, up."

"These next four weeks," the Browns general manager said, "are going to be really big for those three guys."

Savage was talking about what spring practice means for wide receiver Travis Wilson, guard Isaac Sowells and running back Jerome Harrison. They needn't bring the clout of a baseball team's 3-4-5 hitters. But on a football team needing extra juice to jump out of a 4-12 hole, they must matter.

In my opinion, Quinn must sign and be in camp on time. Anything else will not only put him behind, but create some acrimony between the team, fans and him. Will greed win out as it so often happens? Heed the lesson of Heath Shuler, Brady.

If he's so excited about being a Brown, it shouldn't be much of an issue getting him in camp. Now if he starts thinking he's still worth Top-10 money, then we will have an issue.

I think the Browns should strongly consider persuing Sam Adams.He could be an excellent replacement for the Aging Ted Washington and can help develop the green Shaun Smith. But that's just my opinion

If the price would be right, I totally agree. I have read where he has shaved some weight off from last year and is now below 350. I would take the chance.

Give him a contract that is mostly incentives and will give him top 10 money if he plays like Peyton Manning. If he plays like Tim Couch he should get bottom 1st round money. The signing bonus will the the sticking point, but hopefully he is smart enough to make sure he's in camp on time since his career pretty much rides on it. If he's as good as he thinks he is the second contract will be his big money contract.

Agreed. Not like his wallets hurting with all his endorsements

CLEVELAND BROWNS
Bodden on the mend

Goal after surgery is training camp
Friday, May 18, 2007 Mary Kay Cabot
Plain Dealer Reporter
Browns starting cornerback Leigh Bodden revealed Thursday night that he underwent right ankle surgery recently and will miss the team's June minicamp.
"My goal is to be ready for training camp," said Bodden, who missed seven games last season with sprains on both ankles. "I really don't want to bang it up in minicamp."
Bodden, who was attending Gary Baxter's Celebowl fund-raiser downtown at the Corner Alley, said he underwent the surgery about two months ago and described it as "a cleanup of cartilage and things. It was just supposed to heal, but in the off-season it was still hurting, so I had to have the surgery."

SPEAKING OUT
Edwards promises to fulfill expectations


Thursday, May 17, 2007 Tony Grossi
Plain Dealer Reporter
Browns receiver Braylon Edwards made two pledges at Lincoln-West High School on Wednesday.
One was for $1 million in academic scholarships through the Braylon Edwards Foundation to 100 carefully selected eighth-grade students from the Cleveland Municipal School District.
The other was to his team, his coach and Browns fans.
This year I want to be the guy that they drafted," Edwards said. "I want to be what Romeo Crennel deserves. I want to be what the city expects me to be."
Since the Browns made him the third overall pick of the 2005 draft, Edwards has suffered the image of a "me-first" player.
The image took on a life of its own last season, even after Edwards made good on his promise to be ready for Game 1 after knee surgery the year before.
"A lot of things happened. There was a snowball effect," he said.

What the hell is up with all the akward pics of Brady coming out lately it is really starting to make me wonder if he is big time into the party scene...not what I want from a first round draft pick. Also I'm about as liberal a guy as it gets and I'm totally fine with people being gay but this latest pick the only thing running through my head is: "It's fun to stay at the.....

Y M C A"

If he is gay then all I gotta say about that is Brady if it's true....you gotta be you. Keep on sparkling sister. GO BROWNIES!

The photo I posted was from A.J. & Laura's wedding. I believe the pic was originally lifted off of the webpage of the official photographer (and has since been taken down).

Recapturing the past? Browns' Lewis feels he has plenty left
Tuesday, May 22, 2007
By STEVE DOERSCHUK

BEREA If three's a crowd, here's a great one: Marion Motley, Jim Brown and Leroy Kelly.

The brightest side of Cleveland Browns history was built on the backs of runners with bronze busts in Canton.

The dark side of the expansion era is littered with a running game worthy of a trash can.

Can Jamal Lewis deliver a flashback?
