Good point about not having to pay guaranteed money to someone who was not a proven NFL player.

If you didn't recall Bodden was suffering from multiple back probles as the year went on. Also, because of the uncertainty of Baxter it should be a major priority of the Browns to keep their secondary as sold as possible because of the current holes in the front 7.

Wow. Phil is going all out! I like this signing. Takes some pressure off of Jurevicious and can stretch the field. Yet another offensive weapon.

Seems the Browns have adopted the Yankee's philosophy... why take the chances with drafts and farm systems... go pay for proven performance...

Guess when you look at the 'draft superstars' who turned out to be superduds that you can understand why you'd use FA as proven strategy

was kinda hoping for Drew Carter and so I assume this means no to that, but that was for OSU reasons.

Not being cheap at all. Let's go Browns!

i'm glad that they re-signed sorenson; i thought he played very well on special teams the entire season...seemed like if cribbs wasn't making a tackle it was sorenson

[Buckeneye]

Braylon, Winslow, Stallworth, JJ, Cribbs and Tim Carter??

Hmm; I'd say we have one of the best receiving corps in teh NFL

I would also like to sign Carter but I would think Savage is done with the offensive side of the ball. We shall see.

I have heard the rumors about Shepherd and the Eagles shopping him... possibly to the Browns. However, I think the Eagles want a draft choice higher than a 5th rounder.

It is also being reported in Cleveland that LaBoy has not left Cleveland and is staying overnight which is always a good sign.

Can they give up an '09 pick? It's not like the iggles are going to be playing in january this year, imo...
