Before the 2009 NFL season started, we announced that we were getting involved with Braylon Edward’s charity Project ACT, a charity which ensures that homeless children and youth in the Cleveland area have access to the same free and appropriate education all housed students receive within the district. Braylon donated $1,000 to Project Act for [...]
According to Mike Lombardi of the National Football Post, no one in the Cleveland Browns organization believes that Brady Quinn is the short- or long-term answer at quarterback. They also most likely have no intentions of giving Derek Anderson his roster bonus, so all these reports that they are looking to trade for a QB [...]
The only player that has any skill on the Cleveland Browns, Josh Cribbs could have a new deal with the Cleveland Browns as early as next week, a league source said Friday. Cribbs, who is signed through 2012 for a little more than $1 million per year, is looking for a contract that will pay [...]
It’s safe to move Jerome Harrison up your fantasy draft boards at this point. The Cleveland Browns have released RB Jamal Lewis, according to Adam Schefter’s Twitter page. “Browns terminated the contract of running back Jamal Lewis, the team announced,” he tweets. Lewis will be 31-years old in August and he suffered a pretty nasty [...]
A league source tells PFT that former Cleveland Browns WR Donte Stallworth is working out for the Detroit Lions. Surprisingly, the Lions could use a WR. Tough to imagine since they took them high in the first round in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007. The Lions still have Bryant Johnson and Dennis Northcutt, but the [...]
In a move that should surprise no one, the Cleveland Browns have released troubled wide receiver Donte Stallworth. Stallworth was due a $1 million roster bonus in March and you just knew that wasn’t going to happen. He’s only 29 and can still contribute, but the Browns clearly don’t want the PR nightmare around. Look [...]
Cleveland Brown’s wide receiver Donte Stallworth will be reinstated from his suspension for killing a pedestrian while driving drunk, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said on Friday at this annual Super Bowl-week news conference. The suspension will be lifted after the Super Bowl on Sunday. Stallworth’s future with the Browns is still uncertain, although he is [...]
Cleveland Browns president Mike Holmgren went on the Dan Patrick show today and was asked about his QB situation. Would he let Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson battle it out in training camp like they did last year? Will both of them even be on the roster come training camp? “I won’t tell you that [...]
Former Denver Broncos, Cleveland Browns and New York Giants RB Rueben Droughns apparently likes to partake. More specifically, he’s under investigation by the DEA for having a li’l marijuana growing operation going on in his Centennial, CO home. Droughns sources say that it’s for medicinal purposes, but OTR says it’s for bagging and selling purposes. [...]
ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter is reporting New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards pleaded no contest to misdemeanor aggravated disorderly conduct this week, was fined $1,000, and given a suspended 180-day jail sentence. PHOTO CAPTION: Oops The charge was stemming from a nightclub incident where Edwards punched a friend of NBA star LeBron James on October [...]
We aren’t sure what the Cleveland Browns aren’t seeing that everyone else in the 216 – and the entire country for that matter – does. Josh Cribbs does it all and he is woefully underpaid. You have a team that stinks with the exception of a few players. Cribbs is one of those few players. [...]
Cleveland Browns KR/RB/WR/QB/PR Joshua Cribbs thinks his time is over in Cleveland. He feels betrayed and rightfully so. He says he was promised a new contract a year or so ago. Didn’t happen. They he got some lame take-it-or-leave-it $1.4 million/year offer. OTR doesn’t blame him for feeling like his time in Cleveland is over. [...]
The unthinkable has happened. Cleveland Browns head coach Eric Mangini will be back as head coach of the Cleveland Browns. New football czar Mike Holmgren has decided that he did a good enough job to warrant a second chance. The four-game win streak to end the season probably helped quite a bit. “I’m happy to [...]
A source with knowledge of the situation tells NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora that the Philadelphia Eagles have given the Cleveland Browns permission to interview GM Tom Heckert for their vacant general manager job. Heckert has done a very good job in Philly and is certainly well versed in the West Coast offense that new [...]
Jerome Harrison is amongst some elite company. Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, he went absolutely bonkos. Three times in the second half he ran for touchdowns on the way to racking up 286 yards on the ground. That’s right, we said Jerome Harrison ran for 286 yards. That’s good for third all-time for single-game [...]
There is a lot of talk (maybe too much talk) about the Cleveland Browns bringing in Mike Holmgren to be their football czar. Sources tell NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora that Holmgren is very interested in the job and that owner Randy Lerner is quite excited at the thought of adding the former Super Bowl-winning [...]
Cleveland Browns head coach (for now) Eric Mangini said he’s considering converting his all-world, all-everything player Josh Cribbs into a traditional tailback. Cribbs already returns punts, kicks, covers kicks, runs out of the wildcat and catches passes, so it’s not like playing RB is beyond his scope of abilities.
Mike Lombardi of the National Football Post says that former Cleveland Browns QB Bernie Kosar is going to interview former Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen on behalf of the Browns. Did anyone else see the ESPN 30-in-30 special on the University of Miami on Saturday night? Was anyone else embarrassed every time they cut to [...]
If you didn’t see this, it’s a must-watch. If you did see it, it’s a must-watch-again. New York Jets WR Braylon Edwards is known for his drops, but this one is right out of the “oh no he dii’nt” file. We counted another drop that he had last night too where he alligator armed it [...]
Cleveland Browns running back Jamal Lewis was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, ending his season. Lewis, who was suffering from a sore ankle all season long, also suffered a serious concussion last weekend against the Cincinnati Bengals. After the running back continued to suffer from post-concussion symptoms, during this concussion-riddled NFL season, the Browns decided [...]
This is great. Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Harrison is refusing to speak with the media for fear that what he really thinks will come out. He’s probably as sickened by his lack of touches and how awful the team is that he just won’t be able to hold back. We can’t say we blame him. [...]
Surely every fan in all of Cleveland is wondering why Brady Quinn wasn’t named the starter sooner. The former first-round pick out of Notre Dame was razor sharp against the Baltimore Ravens Monday night and was clearly in command. He threw the ball 31 times and was able to complete a whopping 13 of them, [...]
The power is back on in the Philly newsroom! So yeah, one of the Cleveland Browns only good players, WR/KR/PR/RB Joshua Cribbs, was carted off the field after the last play in a 16-0 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The play was meaningless and he probably shouldn’t have even been on the field. One league [...]
Cleveland Browns RB Jamal Lewis told the Baltimore media on a conference call that this will be his last season. He explained, “I’m tired of it.” Tired of the rigors of day-to-day life of the NFL? Tired being on a sorry franchise like the Browns? Tired of averaging less than four yards per carry in [...]
Sources tell ESPN’s Adam Schefter that Brady Quinn will take back the reigns of the starting QB job for the Cleveland Browns when they lay down like dogs battle it out with the Baltimore Ravens Monday night. Head coach Eric Mangini says he’ll wait to Wednesday to announce it, even though guys like Schefter get [...]
