Shep Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Saw Jason Higdon thinks Bobby Rainey makes more sense than Jonathan Dwyer. Couple good ideas. George Winn, a rookie from Cincinnati just cut by Pats, is already on his way to Berea. He had a promising summer and might be a nice fit. 14 carries, 56 yards, lots of catches. Some lineman named Velasco got cut, has starts at center and guard. Lots of talk about the Browns putting in a waiver claim. Gonna be a busy day. Browns have sudden holes to fill.

Shep Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Fernando Velasaco, started all 16 games at center for Titans last year and has started at guard. Their fan site was a little stunned, never saw him as a potential cut. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 2011 first round pick (guard) Danny Watkins cut by Eagles. Said they never saw the aggressiveness from his Baylor days... but maybe he needs a change of scenery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEVELandMILIDH Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 RB Armando Allen cut, CB Antoine Winfield, WR Robert Meachum, TE Visanthe Shiancoe I'd be interested in all of them. Add some veteran experience with such a young team and they can still contribute in a big way and there all at positions of need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark O Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Meachum has injury issues. We don't need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEVELandMILIDH Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 He's not gonna start, he could provide veteran leadership, be a reliable guy on 3rd downs, provide some depth atleast untill Gordons back. Definitely worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shep Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Kellen Davis cut. Watkins makes some sense. Meachem is said to be broken down. Several calls for interior DL and Jason Campbell (I'm guessing Bills and/or Jets). Browns said to be looking for a WR with "serious upside," not a warm body, so that might be a trade. Back will be change of pace type, which puts Rainey in the mix. He returns kicks, too. Browns could be active on waiver wire because they have the cash (contract stands if they get claimed on waivers). Would give us the edge with a guy like Watkins.

Shep Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hearing some Tandon Doss (Ravens cut, former 4th round pick, turns 24 in September). He's said to be very popular and won't make it through waivers. Tavarres King (Broncos) was a 5th round pick a couple years ago and is also unlikely to make it through waivers. He was a surprise cut. I could see one of those two and Rainey. Might have to trade for the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFBF Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Don't know if this is real or not: MarQueis Gray @MarQueisG 1h Well it's been fun SF and thanks for all the love & support! Just got the word and now Off to Cleveland to start over!! Here we go #Browns Okay, this one seems to be confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Magee is more of Horton's kind of linebacker (225, quick) than Fort, so good trade out. Rainey was a fantastic add. Don't know much about the other guy. If we signed 6 guys on waivers, we have a couple more to find out about. Oh, yeah, the Green Bay G/C... knew we'd be getting one of those. Good job, Browns. Little things matter. In each case so far, these teams really wanted to put these guys on their practice squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Gray was a QB and WR at Minnesota, goes 243 now and I seen as a TE/FB. Might be headed for the practice squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFBF Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Practice Squad so far sounds like: WR Jasper Collins S Jamoris Slaughter (so we didn't lose him after all) CB Terence Frederick Browns have certainly been active today, still need a K, and we have 13 OL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choco Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Because we picked up 2 guys from teams utilizing feature backs who were cuts because of the numbers game, rather than a jag from a team with no running game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaplesBrowns420 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I want to see us go with Kicker by committee. We'll get to see if Weeden, Little, Mingo, or any others that want to try it, can kick a football. Shit, it is only three points, and I was tired of seeing our team settle on field goals anyways.

Zombo Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 who?? They actually look like good prospects that had no chance on the depth charts of Houston and Baltimore. I miss Dion Lewis, but I'd rather have these guys than retread Jackson or gimp Hardesty. Not worried about RB. Not worried about guard. Worried about corner, WR depth, and the fact that I can't even draft a Browns fantasy kicker ... because we don't have one. Zombo --Not really worried about kicker, but I fell sorry for the 53rd guy on the roster when we get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFBF Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 According to Grossi, we just brought back WR Tori Gurley. Most likely a Practice Squad guy, but at least he's available if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
