Kordell and Couch

Kordell Stewart agreed to a one-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens, who plan to put the quarterback to work Thursday during the final session of a two-day passing camp.

Does this mean Couch is more likely to be cut? Could be, as the Browns clearly do not want him winding up in the AFC North (regardless of what they may say) and were probably waiting for the Ravens to sign a quarterback. But if the Ravens like Couch for anything more than a one-year rental, I doubt the signing of Stewart to a one-year, NFL minimum contract really changes things. The Ravens may very well sign him anyway.

As for the blurb being reported that, "The Texans, Redskins, Packers, Ravens and Browns are believed to be interested in Gildon." -- I don't believe that for a second. We've already got a bulging stable of linebackers that includes 4 2nd or 3rd year players plus Warrick Holdman all vying for a starting position. And bringing in Gildon would not only mean sitting one of those guys on the bench, it would also mean Butch admitting something of a failure in getting a couple starters out of his touted draft picks. I'd be shocked if Gildon wound up a Brown.
