As soon as this guy is fired at Kansas, the Browns should make him an immediate offer. He's a natural: team is falling apart, personnel controversies dogging him, and think of the humorous name combinations we could get from the drive-by posters. Mangini/Mangino - it would be a fool's feast. And, as you might have noticed, he is just a tad overweight. Sure to add to the levity!

This is a good analysis by Jaworski - one of the better explanations I've seen of what is actually going on.

Bradford apparently has decided to have shoulder surgery and then to enter the 2010 NFL draft. This should lead to some interesting discussion for Browns' fans (at least the 3 of us who are left), since there's an excellent chance he could be available to them. So: is he good enough to take the risk? Or, another way to look at it: could he possibly be any worse than the guys we have now?

WFNY reports that D'Qwell is placed on the IR due to the shoulder injury he suffered in the Pittsburgh game. Tough break for a great guy, and a real blow to the Brown's defense, which can't really use one. Be interesting to see if Veikune gets to see the field once in a while, or if Jason Trusnik gets most of the reps.

Should the Browns be interested? He was mostly a 2-down LB last year, but was a starter. Could he be in the mix for Cleveland?

"Eric Mangini loves to think of himself as Machiavellian. Two years ago he tried to screw his former employer and mentor, Bill Belichick, by unleashing the Spygate scandal. Since he’s taken over the Browns, he’s kept such a tight lid on communications that it’s alienated Browns players and the media charged with covering the team. Now it seems as if he’s trying to pull a fast one on everyone."

Interesting case made for the possibility the Browns will be players in a possible trade for Cutler.
