Garmon Signs

As I was driving home from work tonight I decided it was time to post something absolutely ripping the Browns for not yet addressing the offensive line in any way this offseason. They beat me to the punch as G Kelvin Garmon from the Chargers has reportedly signed a 3 year deal. This can't be the last move the team makes, but it's a good start. The Chargers did not have a very good offensive line last season, but from what I can gather its weaknesses were at tackle with the interior being pretty good.

It looks like the team will have to finagle a draft-day trade to move up and acquire Gallery. For all the talk about that on WKNR, I'm not so sure it's very likely. If Gallery is as good as everyone is saying he is it will not be easy to make such a manuever. But I wouldn't blame the Browns for offering something like 1st rounders in 2004 + 2005 plus Northcutt. And Couch if they want him. The Chargers, afterall, are a team in need of both a QB and a WR. Whatever, I'm talking crap now...

Lastly, today the offseason conditioning program started. I don't know if Gerard Warren or William Green was there, but I did hear that Couch was. That's a class move by Couch, and frankly he's impressed me more the last 6-7 months than in the 4 years prior. But beyond that, moves like that may very well improve the chances of some team pursuing Couch in a trade. I'm not a GM, but if I were I'd be impressed by that kind of stuff. As the offseason progresses and the FA cupboard is bare at QB, a lot of teams with shaky starting QB's ought to be looking for a still-young veteran who could not only serve as a decent backup but could perhaps be a pretty good starter. The price will be right for the buyer I'm sure.
