this is the biggest fallacy around.

schaffer's contract was 7 years, $36 million. that's chump-change in this market for a starting tackle on either side. hadnot is a replacement for mckinney. it has nothing to do with schaffer or bentley.

Friedman re-signed

The Browns announced today that they have signed offensive lineman Lennie Friedman to a one-year contract.

Friedman, 31, is in his third season with the Browns and 10th in the NFL. He appeared in all 16 games last season on special teams. He was a second-round draft choice by Denver in 1999.

On Monday the Browns announced the signing of free agent offensive lineman Rex Hadnot, a starter at guard for Miami last season.

Savage Browns talk long term deal

Cleveland.com/Browns

The Associated Press
Quote:
BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- Cleveland general manager Phil Savage, whose moves have brought the Browns back to respectability, is close to signing a long-term contract extension with the club.

Although nothing is imminent, owner Randy Lerner said Tuesday that he and Savage have had on-and-off discussions on an extension since December and should have one finalized "soon."

Savage has two years left on a deal he signed in 2005, when he took over a talent-deprived team that went 4-12. The Browns won 10 games last season and barely missed the playoffs. In January, the Browns gave coach Romeo Crennel a two-year extension through the 2011 season.

That is true. Shaffer can play both tackle positions which is a luxury but he did raise a little bit of a ruckus when they moved him to RT.

I am not sure if McKinney is going to be able to come back this year. I believe he is having back problems and is a wait and see type of situation. I think Friedman can play both guard positions and center.

I think we still need to re-sign Dorsey as a backup tackle.

Browns, Savage close to contract extension.

Boy am I glad that Savage beat out Collins in that power struggle of a couple years ago. Some may think that Savage doesn't deserve an extension until the Browns make the playoffs, but I think you can look at the teams direction and see the improvements he has made. Hell, just look at the names on the roster now and right before he got here. That's about all you need to see to realize the impact he's having. I'm glad that he has some job security now. Too many times in pro sports you get GMs and coaches who make moves to keep their job in the short term while forsaking the future. I'm glad that it looks like that won't be the case with the Browns anytime soon.

Savvy Savage has Browns ready to challenge Steelers and AFC

They swarmed the kid working out, the NFL scouts hounding his every move. They expected a lot, his reputation was big after all, but most didn't seem to get what they wanted from the workout, leaving disappointed.

But one scout didn't let that workout change his assessment. He knew the kid could play, and that's what mattered. It was all on the tape. So as the scout left that workout five years ago, he did so with a sly smile on his face, hoping like heck the poor showing would help drop the player down to his team.

I will admit that I have knocked Savage a couple times but looking at the roster now I guess I have to take everything back except that I still want a pass rush OLB and another ILB. However I realize I cannot have everything at once but just wish for it. I am still a little bit wishy-washy about Anderson but will give him the benefit of the doubt when it comes to that. Deep in my mind, I still think Savage has something up his sleeve for the draft. Just my humble opinion.
