No Faine, No Gain?

Jeff Faine has signed. He's the most important player in this years draft and he'll start practicing tomorrow. That is good, and it greatly relieves the pressure that was building up with regards to all the unsigned draft picks. Now I'm not sure what the Browns do in pushing for 5-year deals for the lower-round picks. Strictly from a negotiating standpoint I think the team holds the line another day or two and sees if any of the players sign. But ultimately I think it will depend on what happens with draft picks for other teams. And you can bet the rest of the NFL is paying attention to what happens in Cleveland.
