FRANCHISE PLAYER

TRANSITION PLAYER
None.

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS

--LB Keith Adams is unlikely to be brought back.

--WR Tim Carter will not be re-signed after the Browns signed Donte Stallworth in free agency. Carter is a track guy trying to play football.

--OT Nat Dorsey is slow, but he can back up left or right tackle. With Ryan Tucker moving to guard, Dorsey could be re-signed at the right price.

--DE Bobby Hamilton could be back because Romeo Crennel is a Hamilton fan and there might be room with Orpheus Roye and Simon Fraser out of the picture.

--NT Ethan Kelley probably won't be pursued. He is coming off microfracture surgery and the Browns added Corey Williams and Shaun Rogers.

--NT Ted Washington will not be re-signed. He was slow and unproductive before being placed on injured reserve on Oct. 31.

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS

--CB Daven Holly (tendered at $1.47M with 2nd-round pick as compensation) is smart and has a nose for the ball. With Leigh Bodden traded to the Lions, Holly will compete with Brandon McDonald for a starting job.

I just read that a sports beat writer picked the Browns vs. the Giants in the Superbowl.  How cool is that?  Are we really getting that much respect or do people just pick their teams in the dark?

This same guy actually picked the Pats vs. Giants last year and ...(more)
