This is very interesting. They must think that Baxter could be ready to go. His leadership would definitely help in the secondary.

Cornerback Gary Baxter's attempt to come back from double patella tendon surgeries in 2006 is still alive.
Baxter, whose long-term contract was shortened after his injuries and ran out after the 2007 season, was re-signed to a one-year contract by the Browns today. They also re-signed fullback Charles Ali.
Baxter beat the odds last year by being medically cleared to return to action at the start of training camp -- nine months after surgeries on both knees. He was on the active roster for the start of the season, but did not appear in a game and was placed on injured reserve for the final 10 games.
The new contract will allow Baxter to finish the job he started.
