EERSandBROWNS Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 CLEVELAND -- Veteran wide receiver Drew Bennett, formerly of the Rams, will visit the Browns on Wednesday in hopes of signing with the team, a source close to the situation said. Bennett (6-5, 196) was originallly signed as a free agent with the Titans out UCLA in 2001 and spent six seasons in Tennessee. He led the team with 46 catches in 2006 and a 16.0-yard average. In 2004, he tied an NFL record with eight TDs in a three-game span. Bennett signed with the Rams as a free agent in 2007, but never panned out there. He caught 33 passes for 375 yards and 3 TDs in '07 and broke his leg in the 2008 opener, missing the rest of the season. http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/...nett_to_vi.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambridgeho Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 So much for we are going to run the ball, either we will be pass happy, or BE could be on the move, I doubt it tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timugen Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Just got a twitter update from the OBR says we are bringing this guy in. DIdn't he have a pretty good season like 2 years ago? Yeah, I seem to recall reading something about him recently.....hmmmm....where was that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YtownBrownsBacker Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 So much for we are going to run the ball, either we will be pass happy, or BE could be on the move, I doubt it tough. How about just getting teams to respect the pass so they can't load the box like last year. The game plan against the Browns was to take the run away and dare them to beat you with the pass. Then they doubled Edwards and we ended up with a few FGs. Now they can put 3 out wide and teams are going to have to respect them. That, gives Lewis and Harrison some room to run.

Gips Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 John Taylor ranks Bennett as a "three star" free agent, about equal to Jerry Porter among available guys. Said he's be a candidate to start or be the third wide out, a great chain mover (like Joe J.). Really, only four WRs matter with the others being specials and injury insurance... so Edwards, Robiskie, Bennett, and Massoquai would be "the big four." And I'd love it. Bennett would be a good grab i hope we sign him...but if he wants to much rest assured mankok will pass.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmedowns Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 This guys best years are behind him. And that says a lot semming he didn't have any good years. Maybe one. If we sign for veteran minimum ill take it. Anything more is a waste. If we are still looking for WR's IMO Braylon will be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playerjdd Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I wouldnt of minded picking up bennett before the draft it could of saved us a 2nd rounder which could have been spent on a player like Rey Mayaluga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambridgeho Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 If he signs, Stallworth is really out the door. Our WR core would not be too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffer X Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Can you say a younger, cheaper version of JJ coming off an injury that's not as damaging as knee and staph issues? The more the merrier, especially when it comes to vet presence. Remember last year we had guys like Kevvy Kasp in here yet when Stallworth went down we were left with nothing. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here and expect two rookie WR's to step in and play huge minutes. Robo will start alongside Braylons with Patten as slot. That leaves maybe Bennett as the fourth and Mass as the 5th and developmental guy. That would be if everything panned out leaving Glue Hands Hubbard cut and Steptoe walking the thin line. Plus, you still have Cribbs and even Leggett probably has a better chance at making the team than Hubs. I would never understand why someone could be against this.

Oldcrow1945 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Another good fit for Mangini's IQ squad. Bennett was offered a scholarship from Princton to play QB before going to UCLA and walking on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy had too many flags and was passed on by everyone. There is a reason he was the 3rd LB taken from USC, not the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaygroundLegend Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 He's heavier now, he plays at like 210 I say sign away, big tall reciver that would be great on third down and in the redzone. Sure hands, very smart, he'd be a great mentor for our younger receivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
