" Two witnesses to the incident from within the Browns organization said Davis injured his shoulder in a post-practice drill in which he was not wearing pads and the linebacker that plowed into him was. Three other NFL sources corroborated the witnesses' account."

Wow. More questions arise about Mangini if this is true...

Finnan has the story that the Cavs have signed Rob Kurz to a non-guaranteed contract to camp. The spot was offered to Joe Smith, who signed the same deal with Atlanta. Smith felt, rightfully, that after signing Powe, there wouldn't be a lot of playing time in Cleveland. Kurz is a 6-9 forward who shoots the three-ball at around 40%. I'm okay with him as the 15th guy, although I would have liked a true point for that role rather than a fifth power forward. Windhorst adds on his Twitter feed that C Darryl Watkins also will be coming to camp with the Cavs, with a slight chance at beating Kurz out for that final roster spot.

Its amazing, the life of a rumor. At 8:30 this morning, it sounded like it had already happened. At 10:00, it was close to happening. Now after 11:00, the teams haven't talked in days. This, of course, means by 2:00, Danny Ferry will have no knowledge of any player even named Shaquille and will make an off-color remark about the name itself.

The Indians signed 17 year-old Czech catcher Martin Cervenka, making him the first European player to sign with the organization. He will remain, under terms of the contract, with the Kotlarka organization next year. This is great. I'm just starting to get familiar with Dominican teams, and now I have to learn the Czech leagues?

Three Pro Bowlers from a 4-12 team? I guess I'm not complaining.

No real surprise here as Williams contract would have become fully guaranteed shortly. I'd assume that the Cavs will sign someone to a 10-day contract if needed in the short-term. That is, unless a trade happens.

No real surprise here.

I'm not overly surprised, but I'll admit, I'm a Savage fan. He improved the talent on the team during his time here and I hoped for a better ending. Best of luck to Phil.

It looks like the final roster is set. Jawad Williams wins the battle for the final roster spot as the Cavs opt to waive Ronald Dupree. Nice to see a local kid make the roster. The contract is still non-guaranteed, so he's vulnerable to be moved at any point, but he wins the spot for now.

No surprise here. The Cavs announced that they waived G Vernon Hamilton. With as deep as the backcourt is, he really had no chance to make the team.
