Browns Trade Away Hometown Boy, Brady Quinn

Just wondered what all of the thoughts were on this move by the Browns? I personally like it a lot. It gives the Browns a fresh start without any qb controversy and they are obviously trying to load up on draft picks. Any thoughts??????
Browns trade QB Brady Quinn to Broncos
www.yahoosports.com
Brady Quinn(notes) will get a chance to start over in Denver. Whether he’ll get to start is up in the air.
The Broncos acquired the former first-round draft pick from the Cleveland Browns for fullback Peyton Hillis(notes), a 2011 sixth-round draft pick and a conditional pick in 2012.
The teams announced the trade Sunday and said the deal is pending physicals.
Ostensibly, Quinn will compete with Kyle Orton(notes) for the Broncos’ starting job, although coach Josh McDaniels was unavailable Sunday to comment on the trade, according to a team spokesman.

Quinn’s departure comes one day after the Browns agreed to terms with free agent Jake Delhomme(notes) on a two-year contract. Quinn went 3-9 in 12 starts for Cleveland, which drafted him with the 22nd pick in the first round in 2007 out of Notre Dame.
From Dublin, Ohio, he was embraced by Browns fans as the quarterback of the future. But it never panned out for the Browns or Quinn.
“I appreciate everything Brady did for us last year and in his three seasons with the Cleveland Browns,” coach Eric Mangini said in a statement. “He is professional in the way he goes about doing his job and worked extremely hard at every aspect of his game. I wish him the best of success in Denver.”
Quinn won Cleveland’s starting job last season, but was benched after 2 1/2 games for Derek Anderson(notes). Quinn eventually got his job back when Anderson struggled but he was hindered by inaccuracy.
He completed only 53 percent of his passes last season for 1,339 yards with eight touchdowns and seven interceptions. His rating was 67.3.
Quinn’s days in Cleveland appeared numbered when new president Mike Holmgren failed to endorse him as the Browns’ future starter. Last week, the Browns acquired backup Seneca Wallace(notes) in a trade with Seattle, released Anderson and hosted Delhomme, recently cut by Carolina.
Holmgren’s house cleaning continued Sunday, when he shipped another former first-round draft pick, linebacker Kamerion Wimbley(notes), to the Oakland Raiders for draft picks.
The Broncos reportedly pursued Quinn last season when they were trying to replace Jay Cutler(notes).
Instead, they dealt Cutler to Chicago for a bevy of draft picks and Orton, who beat out Chris Simms(notes) for the starting job in June.
The Broncos have insisted they’re happy with Orton, a workmanlike leader who wasn’t allowed to throw downfield much last season, when he led the Broncos to a 6-2 start before a 2-6 finish kept them out of the playoffs for a fourth straight season.
That’s the longest drought in the 26 years Pat Bowlen has owned the team. Bowlen recently said he likes Orton as his quarterback but would like to see the Broncos draft a passer next month.
Those plans may now be on hold.
The Broncos lost confidence in Simms last season, so it would appear he’s out of the picture with the acquisition of Quinn.
Last week, the Broncos offered Orton, a restricted free agent, a first-round tender offer that would pay him $2.261 million this season.
Like hundreds of other players caught up in the league’s labor issues, however, Orton is expected to boycott his team’s start of offseason training, which starts Monday for the Broncos.
With the league ripping up the labor deal in hopes of getting a more owner-friendly contract, dozens of players who were set to reach the riches of unrestricted free agency this month are instead bound by their teams, which are offering much less than the players could have made in an unfettered marketplace.
Hillis will also be getting a fresh start.
He went from starting tailback under coach Mike Shanahan in 2008 to forgotten fullback under McDaniels, who adamantly refused to use him even though rookie running back Knowshon Moreno(notes) frequently came up short in short-yardage situations.
McDaniels insisted that the problems were on the line and not in the backfield and that he’d rather give the ball to his top draft pick. With Spencer Larsen(notes) banged up for much of the season, McDaniels said his hands were often tied because he didn’t want to risk running Hillis, who was often his only available fullback.
Hillis had just 13 carries for 53 yards last season. He was inactive for two games, once to attend his grandmother’s funeral in November. He also returned four kicks.
The 240-pound bone-rattler energized the Broncos in 2008 when he emerged during an injury epidemic among the team’s tailbacks and ran for a team-high 343 yards and scored six touchdowns before tearing his right hamstring against Kansas City in December.
The Browns seemed to have found their No. 1 tailback late last season in Jerome Harrison(notes), who finished with a team-high 862 yards rushing. But veteran Jamal Lewis(notes), second on the team in rushing, was released last month, which could provide an opening for Hillis to be the power complement to the small and quick Harrison.
So Hillis gets another chance in Cleveland while Quinn tries to jump-start his career in Denver.

NFL Power Rankings after week 8
www.sportsline.com
Current Team Previous
1 Colts · Trends 1
They didn't look great against the 49ers, but they found a way. That's what good teams do. It has to be good having Bob Sanders back again.
2 Saints · Trends 2
It was a little bit of a struggle against the Falcons, but the schedule is favorable the rest of the way, to say the least. Is an undefeated season possible?
3 Vikings · Trends 4
They have a real hold on the division after sweeping the Packers. They really are a balanced team and Brett Favre is coming off a big game. There, I said it. Aside from the Steelers game, he is playing well.
4 Broncos · Trends 3
After their first loss, here come the champions. The Pittsburgh Steelers will provide another stiff test for the Broncos. They need to throw it better. Period.
5 Patriots · Trends 5
They come off the bye with a chance to take a real hold of the division by beating Miami. You know they'll be ready for the Wildcat.
6 Bengals · Trends 6
At 5-2 after their bye, they get a rematch with the Ravens this week. They can throw it better now than when they beat them the first time, which should help.
7 Steelers · Trends 7
They can show they are back with a road victory at Denver. The bye week gives them a little edge heading into that one, although Denver will be angry coming off its first loss.
8 Eagles · Trends 8
We get Eagles-Cowboys this week for first place in the NFC East. That should be fun. The Eagles are rolling after that Oakland disaster two weeks ago.
9 Cowboys · Trends 11
Is it time to stop ripping on Tony Romo? He's playing some of his best football. The defense, which was a problem much of the season, is playing better.
10 Ravens · Trends 14
They had to beat Denver to save their season, but now they get a big one against the Bengals on the road. To have a real chance to win the division, they need that one.
11 Cardinals · Trends 9
Can anybody figure this team out? They play well on the road and stink it up at home. Good thing they're on the road this week.
12 Giants · Trends 10
They are an example of how fast things can go bad in the NFL. If that defense doesn't play better soon, they could be playoff-less.
13 Texans · Trends 16
The improvement of the defense to go with that passing game has really helped this team. They do have a lot of premium talent on the defensive side of the ball.
14 Chargers · Trends 17
They seemed to right things the past two weeks, but now must head east to play a desperate Giants team. That won't be easy.
15 Falcons · Trends 12
They played well at New Orleans, especially in the second half, and the schedule gets easier now. They are a good 4-3 team.
16 Packers · Trends 13
Boy that offensive line is bad. If they don't improve there, Aaron Rodgers doesn't stand a chance.
17 Bears · Trends 19
Nothing like the Cleveland Browns to provide the perfect potion for all that ails a team. Facing Arizona at home this week won't be as easy.
18 Dolphins · Trends 22
That wasn't pretty against the Jets, but they found a way. Now they have to go to New England, with a chance to get back into the race. Playing two consecutive road games is tough.
19 Jets · Trends 15
There is no way they should have lost to the Dolphins at home, but at 4-4 they have been way too inconsistent. How about some special-teams work this week?
20 Jaguars · Trends 18
They will be a .500 team at best. The defense isn't very good, so they will play a lot of high-scoring games. The good news is they have a winnable game against Kansas City this week.
21 Panthers · Trends 24
Was that a job saver for coach John Fox and a season saver last week in Arizona? It was a big win, but those two things are still to be decided.
22 49ers · Trends 20
Playing close isn't good enough. They have to start winning those kinds of games. It's hard when they're limited on offense.
23 Bills · Trends 21
The run defense is really bad and they don't have the offense to make up for it. Did you ever think they would long to get Trent Edwards back so much?
24 Seahawks · Trends 23
They've been a major disappointment in a lot of people's minds. But the injuries have crippled this team. It's a tough first year for Jim Mora Jr.
25 Raiders · Trends 25
At least they showed up and competed against the Chargers. It's more than they did the previous week. Wonder how Tom Cable's troubles will affect the team?
26 Chiefs · Trends 26
They come off their bye with the Larry Johnson saga hanging over their heads. Something they need more of: Better play from Matt Cassel.
27 Redskins · Trends 27
Did they fix things during the bye? Is Jim Zorn safe now that he made it through the week off? Can they turn it around? Doubtful.
28 Rams · Trends 31
They won. They won. They won. After 17 consecutive losses, they should celebrate. Steven Jackson is having a good year for a bad team.
29 Titans · Trends 32
The move to Vince Young paid off. Yeah, as long as Chris Johnson runs for 228, it paid off. They did show more life coming off their bye in winning for the first time.
30 Lions · Trends 28
Losing to the Rams drops them down a few spots. They are competing, which is a good sign for this young team.
31 Browns · Trends 29
Does this team need a bye or what? Do they really have to play out the season with that offense?
32 Buccaneers · Trends 30
The Josh Freeman Era begins, and it's the right thing to do. They have to get him going for the future. Why wait?

The Cleveland Browns: JOKE!
The Browns are a certifiable train wreck now. That much we know, in the wake of the departure of general manager George Kokinis from the organization. I've heard the ESPN report that the Browns are investigating firing Kokinis "for cause,'' which means he may have done something untoward to get him canned. And let me say that in conversations with three front-office people in the league who know Kokinis well, I could hear their jaws drop when that nugget was relayed. I know Kokinis, but I'm not close to him. Those who are describe him the way you'd describe a trusted friend and honest to a fault. So we'll see where this leads.

The problem as I see it is this organization careens from one disaster to the next. If owner Randy Lerner trusts Eric Mangini, he's got to take the slings and arrows of a furious fandom and let Mangini try to fix this huge mess. If he doesn't, Lerner has to fire Mangini, issue a mea culpa, and hire the next franchise leader.

The one thing that's maddening is the Browns owe former GM Phil Savage and ex-coach Romeo Crennel their salaries through 2012 and 2011, respectively. There are other lingering contract payouts from the assistants on Crennel's staff. It's a pill of at least $20 million Lerner is swallowing, and if he cans Mangini -- in the first year of an estimated four-year, $12-million deal -- it just adds to the financial mayhem.


Mangini won't discuss GM's exit
www.si.com
BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- The convoluted ouster of George Kokinis as Cleveland's general manager barely made a ripple in the Browns' locker room.
These guys are accustomed to losses.
Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas hardly knew Kokinis, who was hired in January and left the club under unexplained circumstances on Monday.
"He wasn't around too much, and when he was, he was pretty quiet," Thomas said.
Everyone inside team headquarters at 76 Lou Groza Blvd. was pretty quiet on Tuesday. The Browns, who have a bye this week, went about their business as rumors swirled about Kokinis, the events that led up to his departure and who -- or if -- anyone will replace him.
Browns coach Eric Mangini offered no details about the team's decision to move on without his longtime friend and hand-picked GM.
"Anytime a decision like this is made it is difficult personally and professionally," Mangini said. "George is a friend of mine and I respect him and I wish his family well. I can tell you that for a variety of reasons things didn't work out. You never go into a situation like this with the intention of it not working out.
"We felt that, organizationally, this was the best decision in order to move forward."
That was about as deep as Mangini would venture into the Kokinis matter. Mangini spent most of his news conference politely deflecting questions about why the decision was made.
He was asked if there were legal reasons why he couldn't address Kokinis' exit.
"There's really a variety of reasons," he said, "and I'll just leave it at that."
Browns owner Randy Lerner, who following Sunday's loss in Chicago said he planned to hire a "serious, credible" football authority to help run his fumbling franchise, was not available for comment. A team spokesman said there was no immediate plans for Lerner to address the media.
Lerner did spend two hours meeting with two disgruntled season-ticket holders, who have been urging Cleveland fans to stay out of their seats for the Nov. 16 kickoff against Baltimore in protest of the team's futility. "Dawg Pound Mike" Randall said Lerner was open to their ideas and gave them a few of his own.
"He's trying to get the Browns on the right track," Randall said. "He wants it to happen now. He cares deeply."
It's still not known if Kokinis was fired or forced out by the Browns, who are 1-7 and have been overmatched in most of their games.
There are reports that Kokinis was asked to resign by Lerner, who pressed the former GM and sought to dismiss him "for cause." Citing a team source, ESPN.com reported that the team's security and legal department were reviewing phone records to build its case against Kokinis.
The Browns denied reports that Kokinis was escorted from the building on Monday.
As for a possible replacement for Kokinis, Mangini would not comment when asked if former Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar might handle some of the GM's responsibilities. Kosar was recently brought in by Lerner in an unspecified consulting role that could expand.
Also, the team has not addressed reports that former Browns and New York Giants GM Ernie Accorsi, a close friend of Lerner's, might return to Cleveland in some capacity. Accorsi helped Lerner search for a GM earlier this year and has been working as a consultant for the NFL since retiring in 2007.
Mangini said he would not be resistant to the Browns giving final personnel decisions to someone else in the future.
"My goal is to win and my goal is to improve," he said. "There's never opposition to someone that can help us achieve that goal. That's true here. It was true in New York with the Jets."
Mangini said he learned under coaching mentors Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick the benefits of being open to the opinions of others.
"You appreciate the feedback," he said. "You appreciate the honesty. You appreciate people trying to constantly improve at what they're doing or constantly help the group improve. You want to hire as many people as you possibly can like that."
Mangini and Kokinis began their careers together working under Belichick, when New England's coach was with the Browns in the 1990s.
Their breakup as a management team came less than a year after former GM Phil Savage and coach Romeo Crennel were dismissed after failing to make Cleveland a consistent winner.
Kokinis' parting is just more of the same for the Browns.
"It doesn't affect me," tight end Steve Heiden said. "I can speak for myself on this because I've been here a while and I've seen some changes. I can't control anything that goes on anywhere else besides at this locker. That's the truth and that's all I'm trying to do.
"I'm in my bubble and I'm staying there."


Fan: Lerner 'doing everything he can'
BEREA, Ohio -- Die-hard Browns fan Mike Randall made sure he put on his Sunday best for his important meeting with team owner Randy Lerner.
He wore a giant plastic dog bone hat.
The season-ticket holder, aka "Dawg Pound Mike," one of the best known members of Cleveland's rabid bleacher section of fans, spent two hours on Tuesday meeting with Lerner, who stepped away from a turbulent week and his busy schedule for the visit.
Randall and his friend, Tony Schafer, have been encouraging others to stay out of their seats for the opening kickoff of Cleveland's next home game on Nov. 16 to protest the Browns' futility. The fans were scheduled to spend 30 minutes with Lerner but ended up staying much longer.
"It was great," Randall said. "How many owners would spend two hours meeting with two fans? None."
Randall said Lerner was receptive to their ideas for improving the Browns' game-day experience at Cleveland Browns Stadium and even tossed out a few of his own. Randall, who has met Lerner several times, came away impressed with the owner's passion and determination to get the Browns turned around.
"He's doing everything he can to improve the Browns," Randall said. "He wants it to happen -- now."
Lerner's meeting with the fans came less than 24 hours after general manager George Kokinis was removed from his job, the latest upheaval for a franchise that has made the playoffs just once since 1999 and is on its fourth head coach in 10 years.
The camera-shy Lerner has yet to address the circumstances surrounding Kokinis' departure.
Randall said Lerner liked the fans' idea for displaying some of the team's championship banners and retired jersey numbers inside the stadium. Lerner also seemed unaware of the strict security measures in place at the stadium, a zero-tolerance policy that has upset some Cleveland fans.
"He's a fan, just like us," Randall said. "He wants what's best for Cleveland and I believe him. He wants to win."
Randall said he and Schafer are going forward with the "Brown out" protest despite their meeting with Lerner. They will consider canceling it if Lerner agrees to speak to Browns fans, who walked out by the thousands during the second half of a recent home loss to Green Bay.
Randall said he presented Lerner with a quote from Theodore Roosevelt that he felt best summed up his desire to have Browns fans heard.
"It says, 'In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing,'" Randall said. "Randy liked that. We're doing something. So is he."

Calm, cool and collected, Quinn will be a winner

Calm, cool and collected, Quinn will be a winner
from www.msnbc.com
Brady Quinn’s career began on the night his team’s season ended. And all a Browns fan can ask after watching Quinn play with veteran aplomb is, "Why wasn’t this kid in there weeks ago?"
Nobody in Cleveland has any delusions that the Browns would be battling Pittsburgh and Baltimore for the AFC North lead if Quinn had been playing all along instead of Derek Anderson. The team has too many problems for one player to solve. A lot of them are on the other side of the ball with a defense that can’t put pressure on the quarterback and has a remarkable knack for fourth-quarter collapses.
The problems have to be traced back to the general manager and the coaching staff who should be expected to field a team that can pressure a quarterback and make big tackles. It’s also a coaching staff that kept playing an underperforming Anderson instead of switching to Quinn a month ago, when he may have made a difference.
Quinn isn’t Joe Montana or Joe Theisman yet. He’ll take his lumps, especially when he plays against a varsity defense instead of the porous Denver unit he picked apart Thursday night.
But he showed he has what it takes to play in this league. It wasn’t so much in the statistics, which were impressive enough: 23-for-35 for 239 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions and zero sacks. It was more the way he approached the job.
He had one full day of practice for this game, and until Thursday, his NFL career consisted of three completions in eight pass attempts in one relief effort last year against San Francisco. But from the moment he was introduced to a crowd that has been begging coach Romeo Crennel to start him, Quinn looked and acted like a veteran.
He didn’t charge out of the tunnel when his name was called with adrenaline squirting out of his ears and his eyes wide with excitement. Instead, he took several purposeful strides onto the field, looked up to scan the crowd and offer the fans a wave, then trotted onto the field as if he’d been doing it all his life.
He missed his first pass, completed his second and was three-and-out on his first series. But on his second possession, he drove his team to a score. His first NFL touchdown pass was a beauty. It was third-and-goal from the 5, and with a defender about to crush him, he leaped in the air and drilled a bullet between two defenders into tight end Kellen Winslow’s arms.
It was the kind throw coaches don’t want their quarterbacks to make. He was in the air and he threw into double coverage. Most quarterbacks try that and they get picked because they can’t put enough on the throw.
He didn’t go nuts when Winslow hauled it in. And he didn’t go nuts when he threw his second touchdown pass on the next possession, again hitting Winslow, who broke two tackles and ran it in.
Quinn didn’t get confused on his play calls and didn’t have a single delay-of-game penalty. He didn’t fumble. He stepped away from the rush time and again and hit outlet receivers when he was in trouble. He was cool. He had presence.
Even after the Browns had coughed up their 13-point lead, giving up seven on a 93-yard Jay Cutler completion over blown coverage, Quinn brought his team back to take the lead again with just a few minutes left.
Cleveland’s defense had played well in the first half, but collapsed in the second. They gave up the lead for the final time with just over a minute left. Quinn said later it was plenty of time.
On fourth-and-1 at his own 42, Quinn threw a perfect pass to Winslow that would have kept the drive alive. And it went right through Winslow’s hands.
The tight end had a great game with 10 catches and two touchdowns, but he had a miserable second half. Earlier he had fumbled the ball away and negated a critical first-down pickup by committing a flagrant and senseless offensive pass interference penalty. Afterward, he took the blame for the loss.
“It was a routine catch,” Winslow said. “I let my team down."
That was in the locker room. In the interview room, Quinn, the guy who threw the pass that Winslow neglected to catch, refused to blame anyone.
“This is on me,” he told the media. “This loss is on me.”
That’s not the truth, but it’s what you want to hear. Quinn started his first game for the franchise he grew up cheering. He put 30 points on the board. And he did that without being asked to throw a single deep ball.
Cleveland didn’t win the game, but they got a quarterback for the future. Now all they need is a team — and coaching — as good as he is.

www.espn.com Top 14 Free Agents


SamuelFree agent: CB Asante Samuel
Best fit: Miami Dolphins
Here's why: Bill Parcells could make a big splash by stealing one of the AFC East's best players. Miami desperately needs a veteran presence in its secondary, and acquiring Samuel, who has been part of so many successful seasons in New England, could be infectious in the locker room of a team that managed to win just one game a season ago. Samuel obviously will have many teams after his services, but Miami should get in the hunt for a difference-maker at cornerback to lead their struggling secondary.


FanecaFree agent: G Alan Faneca
Best fit: New York Jets
Here's why: LT D'Brickashaw Ferguson and C Nick Mangold are both very talented young players, but inconsistent. Putting Faneca between these two former first-round picks would go a long way toward shoring up both the Jets' run and passing attack. Left guard and right tackle are gaping holes in the Jets' line and addressing these needs through the draft may not be particularly prudent due to the inexperience of Ferguson and Mangold. New York never recovered from the loss of Pete Kendall at left guard.


BerrianFree agent: WR Bernard Berrian
Best fit: Oakland Raiders
Here's why: The Raiders' receiving corps is mediocre at best and it isn't a secret that Al Davis loves to see his quarterback throw the ball deep downfield. Berrian has some Cliff Branch-like qualities with his elite deep speed and with JaMarcus Russell's amazing arm strength, this could be an excellent fit. Russell absolutely needs a receiving threat to lean on as he matures, and while Berrian is not an elite wideout, he is clearly an upgrade to what the Raiders played with at the position in 2007.


HackettFree agent: WR D.J. Hackett
Best fit: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Here's why: The Buccaneers do not have a lot of pressing needs to address in free agency, but wide receiver is clearly one of them. Tampa Bay has a surplus of cap room and should be able to compete for the services of Hackett or any of the other top wide receivers in this year's free agency class. If Hackett can just stay healthy he has an excellent chance to develop into an outstanding complement to Joey Galloway. When he is on the field, all Hackett does is produce.


AdamsFree agent: OT Flozell Adams
Best fit: Miami Dolphins
Here's why: Obviously Parcells and Tony Sparano are very familiar with Adams and adding an experienced left tackle from a winning organization could have a positive impact in the locker room. The Dolphins' offensive line isn't that far away and Adams would allow Miami to put Vernon Carey at right tackle. This would give the Dolphins two very solid bookends to team with second-year C Samson Satele to keep their quarterback -- whoever that may be -- upright and aid in the running game. This move makes a lot of sense, and with all the roster cuts Parcells has made, the Dolphins should have the cap room to make a splash. Adams has been to four of the past five Pro Bowls.


BriggsFree agent: LB Lance Briggs
Best fit: Buffalo Bills
Here's why: Briggs is only 27 years old and in the prime of his productive career. Briggs didn't receive as much of the limelight as Brian Urlacher in Chicago, but with the Bills, he would very quickly establish himself as this defense's top dog, something that Buffalo needs very badly. Of course, Dick Jauron is familiar with what Briggs brings to the table from their time together with the Bears, and with Paul Posluszny returning from injury, the Bills could all of a sudden have a very formidable group of linebackers.


TurnerFree agent: RB Michael Turner
Best fit: Chicago Bears
Here's why: If the Bears are willing to admit that the Cedric Benson project was a complete failure, Turner would be an excellent signing. Turner played his college ball at nearby Northern Illinois and is a rare free agent running back who has experience, but also do not have a lot of mileage on his body. The Bears need a lot of help on offense, but Turner would be an excellent start.


AndersonFree agent: QB Derek Anderson
Best fit: Minnesota Vikings
Here's why: The Vikings have plenty of offseason needs, but adding a quarterback who can consistently make plays would alleviate some of the other issues. With Adrian Peterson in the fold, the Vikings will always be a run-first offense. That suits Anderson extremely well. While he was very impressive last season and has a big arm, Anderson is a glorified caretaker behind center. His greatest strength is protecting the football. Minnesota needs a good decision-maker who can make all the throws, and that's exactly what Anderson does. Tarvaris Jackson has only 16 career starts, but his accuracy and decision making is holding the Vikings back. The Browns tendered Anderson, meaning it would cost a first- and third-round pick for someone to sign him so it is unlikely he moves, but he's someone who could immediately help Minnesota.


SmithFree agent: DE Justin Smith
Best fit: Philadelphia Eagles
Here's why: With edge pass-rusher Trent Cole on the right side demanding a ton of attention from opposing pass protection schemes, Smith could do very well in a complementary role on the strong side, which best suits his abilities. The Eagles need an end to pair with Cole's and Smith's motors, and Smith's all-around game should suit Jim Johnson's scheme very well.


StallworthFree agent: WR Donte' Stallworth
Best fit: Tennessee Titans
Here's why: The former University of Tennessee Volunteer floundered a bit in New England, but he could be a difference-maker for the Titans. Tennessee doesn't have anyone who can get deep and consistently stretch the field, and that is Stallworth's specialty. The Titans looked at Stallworth a year ago and would surely attack him more aggressively this offseason. Tennessee has a lot of money they can spend and absolutely must upgrade Vince Young's weapons.


MossFree agent: WR Randy Moss
Best fit: New England Patriots
Here's why: This is obvious. Moss caught a record 23 touchdowns in his first season in a Patriots uniform and helped lead the team to a remarkable 18-0 record before losing in the Super Bowl. Although every quarterback in the league would love to throw to this fantastic wide receiver, there isn't a better fit in the world than Tom Brady throwing to Moss.


BoleyFree agent: LB Michael Boley
Best fit: New York Giants
The Super Bowl champions do not need much, but New York will likely lose Kawika Mitchell and it does have some money to spend in free agency. Boley, while unlikely to leave Atlanta as a restricted free agent, is a big-time playmaker and extremely versatile -- exactly the kind of player that defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo can use to the best of his ability. Adding Boley to his already outstanding defense would make a very good group much better.


WilsonFree agent: S Gibril Wilson
Best fit: Philadelphia Eagles
Here's why: Ken Hamlin was franchised by the Cowboys, which will put Wilson's services at a premium -- especially with a really weak safety draft on the horizon. Spagnuolo is a Jim Johnson prodigy and runs an extremely similar defense to what the Eagles play. Philadelphia could use a safety of Wilson's caliber in its thin secondary, and stealing an important player from a divisional rival would pay double dividends.


JonesFree agent: RB Julius Jones
Best fit: Chicago Bears
Here's why: Jones views himself as a starting NFL running back, but it is very questionable if he is truly among the best 32 running backs right now. With a deep running back draft, Jones could be disappointed with the interest he receives once free agency opens. He hasn't proven to be a workhorse or a powerful inside runner. Teams like Seattle and Houston could really use a bell cow to carry the rock, but we are not convinced that Jones is that player. For those reasons, put Jones into the mix in Chicago with Benson and let those two -- among others -- battle it out for carries like Julius' brother, Thomas, did two years ago.

NBA All-Star Game MVP: Lebron James

Lebron James was the NBA All-Star game MVP, but will be the league MVP? I think he is right now, but if Danny Ferry doesn't get him any help by Thursday's trading deadline, he will not only lose the MVP, but also lose confidence in Cleveland. We as Cleveland fans will lose him just like we are going to lose C.C. Sabathia and possibly Derick Anderson.
Everyone seems to be making moves to get better for the long haul, but the Cavs. I don't want to hear that danny Ferry is strapped with contracts. Bullshit! He is the one that made the dumb signings, so he better be the one to get them out of it. Lebron needs some credit for trying to stay calm about wanting help, and Cleveland not making any moves yet.
They need some help, or am I the only one that thinks this? Just today, the Nets offered Vince Carter for Jermain O'Neal. I keep looking for Cleveland to show up next with a move, but I doubt it will happen. All of you Ohio sports fans give some feedback here, let me know what you think.
