That's one nice start to prepare for Peterson
Wrap him in bubble wrap now.
The Browns don't need any lineman whose name begins with "frail".Not to mention re-signing Fraley....
TRUE! but, if you don't sign him, then you might as well sign me! (he was only their 5th or so option at center last year).The Browns don't need any lineman whose name begins with "frail".Not to mention re-signing Fraley....![]()

Don't forget Joe Andruzzi as well.Geez, when you think about the money Cleveland will have dropped on it's O-Line in the last 2 off-seasons:Kevin ShafferLeCharles BentleyHank FraleyEric Stienbach...it's not a bad place to invest, but given the $$$, the return looks small by comparison.

nevermind, I didn't scroll down far enough.
Is Droughns completely out of the picture? With an upgraded o-line, shouldn't the Browns be able to target other needs than RB?* Wishful Droughns owner in a dynasty league.You gotta think that if they don't draft Peterson then it will still be a big upgrade to whatever RB gets the job there.
He'll suffocate.Jeff Pasquino said:Wrap him in bubble wrap now.
Yeah, I'm thinking and hoping the same thing. I own him along with Harrison and Wright and would hate to see Peterson go there too. Coincidentally enough I also own the 1.1.Is Droughns completely out of the picture?

He didn't sign with Cleveland yet. Sounds like he's flying to a couple different places. I doubt he'll be signed anywhere today.I thought there were reports that Steinbach was heading down to Tampa to talk to them about a position on their OL -- either guard or tackle.Reports of Steinbach to Cleveland may be premature.
Cosey is gone, so that doesn't matter.I don't see an issue with signing two pro bowl caliber players and Shaffer (who gets a bad wrap, might be overpaid, but still is serviceable). You guys realize what this line looked like a few years ago? If Bentley doesn't rip up his leg, Fraley is not here. Fraley IS a neccesity now though, especially if Bentley's career is done (he could get cut in June when they know more, correct?). You don't go rookie at center and there were no better FA out there (I think). Andruzzi will either start or be an all purpose backup that will see time with when they want to grind out.Cosey Coleman down?Don't forget Joe Andruzzi as well.Geez, when you think about the money Cleveland will have dropped on it's O-Line in the last 2 off-seasons:Kevin ShafferLeCharles BentleyHank FraleyEric Stienbach...it's not a bad place to invest, but given the $$$, the return looks small by comparison.

You still have the one of the funniest avatars ever.Change the title of this thread.
So you think the Lions will convince the Browns to move up one spot AGAIN?...or, draft Joe Thomas at #2 and give the Chargers the 2.03 for Michael Turner. Now we're cooking with gas.
The Browns are going to have to offer him LT money in order to keep him in the building.From Bengals.com:

God Bless this guy!?!?!Steinbach is only looking at cities located on the water. That is why Arizona fell out of the picture early. He likes boozing and cruising on his boat.
Seattle seems more interested in DeilmanBobcat10 said:I'd put my money on Seattle right now.QuizGuy66 said:From Bengals.com:Steinbach busy By GEOFF HOBSONMarch 2, 2007Posted: 10:25 a.m. Steinbach Eric Steinbach already has three visits lined up in free agency according to various published reports and one of the teams is eying him as a left tackle.
