Green Gone Too?
Word is the Giants are offering a 6th rounder for William Green. I am not excited about the prospect of letting a former #1 pick go for such a paltry sum, but on the other hand I don't think he has a future in Cleveland beyond maybe another season. If that is the case, make this or another similar deal and be done with it.
I like Willie Green, I really do, but the with substance abuse deal and the fact that he rarely shows the heart to be a good running back means the Browns should trade him for whatever they can get. A 6th round pick would be just fine by me. Every late-round pick Savage stockpiles will increase the chances he can pick up some good football players in those rounds. Sign a guy like Derrick Blaylock as a #2 runner and the Browns are fine at RB, and hopefully between the 4th for Warren and the 6th for Green we wind up with some guys who can contribute.
Somewhere Dwight Clark is still congratulating himself for getting a 4th or 5th rounder for Ty Detmer.

Just a 6th round pick? I think that would be disappointing. Green has had his troubles, but I'm not convinced yet that he can't be a good running back. Let's not forget that he hasn't ever had a good line to run behind. If he were playing in Denver or KC where they actually can block, I bet he easily breaks 1000 yards.
If all we can get is a 6th rounder, I'd rather keep him. People get hurt in this league, and Suggs has been hurt more than most.
