&lt;li&gt;OG &lt;b&gt;Marlon Davis&lt;/b&gt; of Alabama (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20090426/NEWS/904269946/1011?Title=Wilson-heading-to-Atlanta-four-others-to-sign-as-free-agents&quot;&gt;Source&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;DB &lt;span class=&quot;fullpost&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Corey Boudreaux&lt;/b&gt; of SDSU (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/apr/27/1s27locpix074846-chicago-drafts-sdsus-louis/?sports/aztecs&amp;zIndex=89401&quot;&gt;Source&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fullpost&quot;&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;P &lt;b&gt;Chris Lynch &lt;/b&gt;of UAlbany (&lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.timesunion.com/collegesports/?p=3894&quot;&gt;Source&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*UAPB free safety &lt;b&gt;Stewart Franks&lt;/b&gt; will find out later this week if the Browns will sign him, according to a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pbcommercial.com/articles/2009/04/27/sports/sports1.txt&quot;&gt;report&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*Another potential tryout player in WR &lt;b&gt;Tre'dale Tolver&lt;/b&gt; of Cal Poly, according to this &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ksby.com/Global/story.asp?S=10260319&quot;&gt;report&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*Long snapper &lt;b&gt;Danny Dutmer&lt;/b&gt;of Wyoming will &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ktakradio.com/news/2009/apr/28/four-former-pokes-getting-nfl-tryouts/&quot;&gt;have a workout&lt;/a&gt; with the Browns.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*Offensive lineman &lt;b&gt;Jeff Niedermier&lt;/b&gt; of Buffalo will&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&amp;ct2=us%2F0_0_s_0_0_t&amp;usg=AFQjCNHXrQKbb0IVa-3fOrO_bD4P0K9nDg&amp;cid=1342124403&amp;ei=uh_5SYikAaC4MZ-EjJoD&amp;rt=SEARCH&amp;vm=STANDARD&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fspectrum.buffalo.edu%2Farticle.php%3Fid%3D40337&quot;&gt;try out&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*Defensive back &lt;b&gt;David Hyland&lt;/b&gt; will have a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.msueagles.com/index.asp?display=news&amp;newsid=2782&quot;&gt;try out&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;UPDATE:&lt;/b&gt; Boo. A slight bummer to hear that the Browns were not able to bring CSU's &lt;b&gt;J'Nathan Bullock&lt;/b&gt; on board. According to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20090426/PKR01/90426059/1058/PKR01&quot;&gt;Green Bay Press Gazette&lt;/a&gt;, the New York Jets have signed him. Nonetheless, I'm happy to hear that Bullock was picked up by somebody, and it'll be interesting to follow his progress.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;UPDATE:&lt;/b&gt; Another note on a local Clevelander, for those who like to follow the natives. QB &lt;b&gt;Brian Hoyer&lt;/b&gt;, who attended St. Ignatius High School and then Michigan State, was signed by the New England Patriots. The first thing you can think of is &quot;lucky SOB&quot;, eh?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you find any reports on UDFA's the Browns have signed, please post them here!&lt;/p&gt;
