They also have the #19 pick, from Buffalo. Still a bad idea though. Of course, the last time the Browns had 2 1st round picks, they took Trent Richardson and Brandon Weeden.Originally Posted by vince

That hurts. That was Homgren regime wasn't it? That's a lot of bust. I wouldn't want to throw Bradford on top.

The Browns really enjoy drafting the "quarterback of the future" and an Impact Player™ every year. And both typically fizzle before midseason.

He would be Freeman in the #4 WR role like he was in his second go around for Sherman/Favre. But that would commit you to some 5 Wide (to get Janis some snaps) and keeping 6 WR with both Magic and Janis doing the returning and special teams.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Ian Rapoport says the Packers are looking for a bargain veteran WR. I would dismiss this out of hand except Ian has gotten his last three out of the blue stories about the Packers right.

Its at the end of the segment of Total Access: Top FA Still on the Market. He mentions the Packers tidbit while discussing Welker's availability.

i don't get the welker interest at all
I don't get why the Packers would be looking at a veteran WR. We're fine there. We need TE, DL, ILB and CB help.
When healthy, Welker has always been someone to help move the chains, which means more time of possession, better for Green Bay's defense. If he does a 1 year deal at a team friendly price, it could work. Plus, he has returned punts. It certainly could put that much more pressure on the opposing defenses.
Honestly, I don't know if there is a free agent ILB who would be any more than camp competition/depth. A productive starter from the available list of LB's would be something.
The other positions that need fixing will just have to be fixed by 2nd and 3rd year guys on the team who have hopefully developed, and the draft and college free agency.

Another Packer to Minn RT @andysimms Congrats to client RB DuJuan Harris for signing a 1 year deal with the @Vikings today.

ROFL! Why do they continuously do this?

Imagine for a moment a world without hypothetical situations...
they have lots of film of our guys playing very well against them.

LOL
that is true
Bowe to the Browns? Who is throwing the ball there? Madness.

In this case I have no idea...if there is no gaurenteed money he's just competing.
In the larger sense I think it's because Ted want to get rid of a guy a year too soon rather than a year too late. Since Minnesota is in the same division they have plenty of film.
Longwell worked fantastically.
Jennings never matched production for salary but was good.
Favre lead them to within a whisker of the Superbowl, similar to Rodgers and you guys last year. (sorry, couldn't resist).
Sharper player very well, big contributor.....where is that guy now.....oh wait.....

Wilde takes it as fact that there was interest by the Packers in both Johnson and Harvin, so he doesn't rule Jennings out on that basis, though he thinks it unlikely.
However, both those mentions of FA seemed agent driven to accelerate visits or contract discussions. Johnson and Gore even said this week they wanted to team up if they could.
This is a long way of saying that Ian Rapaport was wrong about Packer interest in a vet WR.
Now that I said it, I expect Jennings signed by Sunday night.

If they have an interest in Jennings, it would seem to mean they have no expectations for Abbrederis. One of he and Janis would be excess baggage, and from MM's comments, it doesn't seem like it would be Janis. I can't see them keeping 6 WRs.

Panthers bring Greg Jennings in for a visit http://wp.me/p14QSB-9JIC
The normal people in charge of the Panthers offense must have been on vacation because this move actually makes sense.

I could see them keeping 6 if one or more of them are retuning kickoffs and/or punts. The kickoff return job is open with DuJuan Harris gone. They might want someone other than Cobb to team with Hyde on punt returns.
I endorsed that idea elsewhere as well, but I think Hyde would be in line for the punt returner job first.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Sure, but you need more than one punt returner. Because Hyde plays defense, there may be times you want someone else to return a punt, especially if Hyde had to run a long way on a 3rd down play. Hyde could also see his snap counts on defense increase this year with the exit of House and TWill. Last year Hyde and Cobb split the punt returns. I suspect they may be looking for someone to replace Cobb on punt returns because he is such an integral part of the offense, and now a very highly paid one. Besides, the last couple of years Cobb has been pretty pedestrian on punt returns.
