It's the offseason and the Browns have recently released Rudd, Miller, Fuller, Holmes, and Wolabaugh. You know, I was not bothered by the prospect of some players hitting the street this offseason. But I'm really surprised by the cold attitude the team seems to be taking, and I thought they'd make more of an effort to resign guys like Miller, Holmes and even Fuller. Perhaps these players are not worldbeaters but they are all better than other options at their position. I sure hope Davis has a master plan here, cause I'm pretty sure we need 3 new starting linebackers next season. Kevin Bentley could be one...
who else?

I think this week has marked the end of Cleveland fans giving Butch the benefit of the doubt. Afterall, Rudd and Holmes are "Butch guys" and now we're taking a salary cap hit for turning around and releasing them. And listening to talk radio in Cleveland it's clear that fans are frustrated now, specifically about Davis' evasive posturing when it comes to such roster moves. The draft and next season are going to be crucial to this regime's future in Cleveland. Mistakes have been made... it's time for things to come together. The players are now feeling that way, even the ones not playing for the Browns.

This being the first post on this blog, I'll state my intentions for it -- basically to record a running commentary on the Browns and various events surrounding the team. Also, other related NFL news, Cleveland news, and regional sports may get coveredhere as well. So the Cavs (ha!), Lebron (whatever), Tribe (let's see what happens), Dayton Flyers (heck yeah -- it's not my fault people in Cleveland don't care about them), and whatever else comes along. Hope it's worth reading.
