| |  | Cleveland Browns
|
OutlookThe Browns filled some holes this offseason, but still seems a ways away from contending. Their quarterback situation remains a bit of a concern and the defense is far from shutdown. They'll win more games in 2012 but still aren't a playoff contender just yet. Having Trent Richardson carry the load offensively is a big plus for the offense, though. |
|
Greg Little, WR. Little flashed some good things his rookie season but was a little inconsistent, which wasn't a surprise considering his quarterback play and being a rookie. Having better quarterback play and a year under his belt should be a big lift for Little. He will be the top receiver in this offense and get plenty of chances to stretch the field, using his top speed. It wouldn't surprise to see Little hit the 1,000-yard mark. |
|
Ben Watson, TE. Watson just keeps chugging along but missed some time late last season with injury, which hurt his stats. He still produced pretty well when playing but his numbers went down after his big 2010. He is 31 years old and has just two seasons with 500-plus yards. He'll have the occasional big game but don't overvalue him come draft day. He is more backup material than anything. Plus, look for Evan Moore to get more playing time at tight end for the Browns. |
Team Notes| May 17, 01:15 AM |

The Cleveland Browns signed free-agent QB Brian Hoyer (Cardinals) to an undisclosed two-year deal Thursday, May 16.

Cleveland Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski said the team likely will continue to use QB Brandon Weeden with the first-team offense and QB Jason Campbell with the second-team offense during organized team activities but it is too early to name a starting quarterback. | | May 16, 02:32 PM |
Cleveland Browns LB Jabaal Sheard worked with the first-team defense at right outside linebacker during organized team activities Thursday, May 16. LB Barkevious Mingo worked at the position with the second-team defense. | | May 16, 02:12 PM |
Cleveland Browns OG Jason Pinkston (lung) is participating in organized team activities Thursday, May 16. It is the first time practicing since he was diagnosed with a blood clot in his lung in October. He is working with the second-team offense. | | May 16, 01:22 PM |
Cleveland Browns QB Brandon Weeden opened up this week at the team's offseason team activities as the starter, with QB Jason Campbell relegated to second-team duties. It appears that the starting quarterback job will be Weeden's to lose this year. The team is hoping Weeden fits better in head coach Rob Chudzinski's aerial attack than he was in former head coach Pat Shurmur's West Coast offensive system. | | May 16, 09:43 AM |
Cleveland Browns FS Tashaun Gipson will remain the starting free safety. | | May 14, 04:53 PM |
Free-agent QB Brian Hoyer (Cardinals) could sign with a new team by the end of the week. Hoyer is expected to compete for a backup job. | | May 13, 05:23 PM |
The Cleveland Browns have waived WR Mike X. Edwards, DL Paipai Falemalu, CB Kevin Barnes, DB Ricky Tunstall and P Jake Schum. | | May 13, 02:13 PM |
Cleveland Browns general manager Michael Lombardi said it is too early for the team to have contract extension talks with C Alex Mack and FS T.J. Ward, but the team is interested in signing them at some point. | | May 13, 02:03 PM |
The Arizona Cardinals have waived QB Brian Hoyer.
Fantasy Impact: Hoyer has some talent but just can't seem to stick with a team. | | May 09, 02:03 PM |
Free-agent LB Chris Gocong (Browns) will participate in the Philadelphia Eagles' rookie minicamp this weekend on a tryout basis. | | May 08, 08:33 PM |
The Cleveland Browns have signed OT Rashad Butler to a one-year contract. Financial terms were not disclosed. | | May 08, 09:25 AM |
Although Cleveland Browns QB Jason Campbell will receive a chance to compete for the team's starting quarterback job, QB Brandon Weeden will most likely start in Week 1. The only way Weeden doesn't is if he struggles in training camp and the preseason. He has the strong arm that should mesh well in an offense run by head coach Rob Chudzinski and offensive coordinator Norv Turner. | | May 06, 10:29 AM |
Cleveland Browns QB Jason Campbell will be given a legitimate shot to beat out QB Brandon Weeden for the starting quarterback job, according to league sources. 'I've been pleased with Jason (Campbell) and the role he's taken on being there,' head coach Rob Chudzinski said. 'Brandon is getting the reps with the first team and working with the first group. A lot of this will remain to be seen when we get into pads and we get into real football instead of the football where you around around in shorts on air.' |
