Droughns back, saying little on contract

Droughns is in Berea and, for now, not holding out for a new deal. Like I've said before, I don't necessarily disagree with his attempt to get more money. That's the way the NFL works -- if you drastically outproduce your current deal, it's usually in everyone's best interest to re-do and extend it. But Droughns situation is a little different since he'll be on a new team with a whole new offense. But holding out is not the way to do it. Being a team player while making your feelings well-known is.

I think the Browns eventually do up his deal slightly, but not a huge amount. The Browns knew they'd have to do something before ever making the trade. And Droughns is not in a good enough bargaining position to turn down a modest increase.
