Be Sure to Wear a Flower in Your Hair

Marques Douglas has signed with San Francisco. That sucks for the Browns. It is safe to assume that Savage was not willing to pay Douglas more than whatever was last offered, and Douglas kept looking until the 49ers ponied up. Damn. I commend the Browns on not paying out more than whatever they thought the guy was worth. But it leaves a void on the defensive line.

Roye is solid, Fisk is good backup forced to the top of the depth chart, and I have no idea who is going to play the other end. And let's not even think any deeper into the depth chart.

Perhaps most worrisome is that there is nobody left in FA that is starting material. Romeo Crennel will definitely have his work cut out to craft a formidable defense out of the current roster.

In other news, the Vikings will reportedly not match the Browns offer for Brian Russell. I file this move in the "Okay" folder. Russell is hopefully a backup for the Browns. If he winds up starting it will not be a very good sign.

Lastly, former Browns WR Kevin Johnson is on the Chiefs radar. He's not a bad player, but I wonder when the Chiefs are going to get a WR that actually scares somebody. The Chiefs should have been a player for Plaxico Burress.
