Kennedy to replace Griffith?

Kenoy Kennedy of the Broncos is scheculed to visit the Browns. He'd be an upgrade over Griffith in my book. Brian Russell of the Vikings has also been in. No comment on him though.

There are rumours floating around that the Browns are interested in acquiring Trent Dilfer from the Seahawks. He'd be okay. Lots of people are unhappy with the QBs that are available, but I'm happy the Browns seem to be serious about pursuing only nondescript, competent veterans. I would probably prefer Brad Johnson, Holcomb, Dilfer. And I wouldn't mind taking a look at Mike McMahon if the Browns decide for a younger guy, but he doesn't seem to be what the FO is looking for.

RB Chester Taylor was in for a visit too. He seemed like a 3rd down back in the Ravens games I saw last year, and I wouldn't have pegged him for a backup to Suggs. But if he plays 3rd downs and the Browns can get something positive from Joe Achimedeauxoxo(sp? - sorry no time to look this up) then the Browns might be alright with that kind of trio.

LB Matt Stewart (Falcons) was also in. I don't know much about him other than he fits the hardworking profile the Browns are seeking. That's enough for me at this point. He's visiting other teams however so it may not be likely he signs with the Browns.

For the most part the caliber of FA that the Browns have been talking to has been better than what I expected. Andruzzi is not a cheap signing compared to, say, Kelvin Garmon. Kennedy and Stewart would command significant contracts too. But it says something that the Browns are considering guys like that at those positions -- OG, LB, S -- and not throwing money around at QB, RB or WR. If this keeps up I do like the chances that the 2005 Browns will be a much tougher opponent, with something in the vein of the 2002 and 2003 Carolina Panthers being the model to follow.
