Discussion: The Browns in FA

The Browns are making some interesting moves in FA. They've already nabbed stud OG Joe Andruzzi away from the Pats, stole cover-corner Gary Baxter out from under the Ravens (in a still controversial fashion), locked up a solid punter in Kyle Richardson (from Cincy), and now they've picked up a solid, game-managing QB in Trent Dilfer.

Beyond the signings, the Browns are going a long way toward cutting the fat. The disappointing Jeff Garcia was released, and equally disappointing Kelly Holcombe was not resigned. Troublesome (and expensive) DT Gerard "Big Money" Warren (and his salary) was dealt to the Broncos for a 4th round pick. If that sounds like a crap deal, read this:

Add to these moves next season's return of Kellen Winslow, Jr. and the 3rd overall pick in next month's draft (with which some expect the defensive-minded Crennel will take BnG darling LB Derrick Johnson), and it's easy to see the Browns are poised to really turn things around.

Not sick enough??? Crennel says he and Savage aren't done yet.

A poll on the Browns homepage sums it up. The posed question is, "What's your feeling on the Browns first week in free agency."

The #1 answer? "Savage and Crennel really seem to get it."
