Winslow may write Boulware a large check

Winslow cap relief?: "If a player is required to return signing bonus money, the team receives salary cap relief after the money is returned.
'We will know more in seven to 10 days, after the next medical assessment (of Winslow) is made,' General Manager Phil Savage said."

Sounds like Savage is waiting to see how bad the knee is. I was a little dissappointed the team didn't take a tougher stance at the "new conference" the other day. But supporting Winslow for the time being is probably the right move. As long as the team has no qualms about asking for bonus money back if and when the time comes, that's cool. In fact, if the Browns never give Winslow a public rebuke, that is fine with me. The money is what matters, and is the only thing likely to affect players' behavior.

The other big news (and the subject of the article above) is the Browns interest in Boulware. The more I read about the guy the more I'd like to see him suit up for the Browns in 2005. And it would be ironic if an injury to last year's first-round pick wound up bolstering the defense with another former first-round pick. The Browns could actually come out of this thing pretty well if things came together like that.
