According to a report by Mary Kay Cabot yesterday Peyton Hillis might have done enough for the Browns to reverse previous course and consider bringing the big bruiser back. While I don’t doubt that with Hillis’ late-season surge after finally getting healthy enough to get on the field, I am not sure how much exactly he has proven in terms of dollar signs.
In November...

A few months ago, the Cleveland Browns had no interest in re-signing impending free agent Peyton Hillis.
But the team has decided to change their mind. The change came after Hillis “worked his way back into the team’s good graces.”
The team will...
Why The Cleveland Browns Defensive Line Should Make Us Hopeful In 2012
The 2011 Cleveland Browns draft picks were met with mixed reviews, but were selected based on one key need for the Browns in 2011: the defensive line. Two of the top draft picks, Phil Taylor and Jabaal Sheard, were able to make plays and have an impact in their first year as professional football players. Taylor and Sheard finished 7th and 8th on the team in tackles, and Sheard leading...
Brad Childress Is the Browns’ New Offensive Coordinator
Brad Childress was officially named offensive coordinator late Friday afternoon to become the sixth Bob LaMonte client to join the Browns front office or coaching staff since Mike Holmgren became the first in late 2009.
ESPN’s Jamison Hensley pulls no punches in writing that, “the problem with Childress is his track record with offenses.”
In the eight years that...
Browns have renewed interest in keeping Peyton Hillis
Halfway through the 2011 season, Peyton Hillis appeared to be on his way out of Cleveland. His disastrous 2011 season included injuries, poor play, and finger-pointing from his teammates.

So have fun. Enjoy today’s poll. Tomorrow is...
Even with Mary Kay Cabot having replaced Tony Grossi on the Hall of Fame Selection Committee, Art Modell is still only getting in over a pile of dead bodies
In the wake of last week’s removal of Tony Grossi from the Plain Dealer’s Browns beat, some folks tried to scare up the boogeyman of Art Modell’s induction into the NFL Hall of Fame. Grossi had been the leading advocate on the Hall’s selection committee for the righteous cause of keeping Modell out, so the line was that the Art Modell induction ceremony that...
Why Drafting a Franchise Quarterback Is More Important Than Upgrading The Offensive Line For The Cleveland Browns
There has been a ton of discussion this offseason over who the Cleveland Browns should draft in 2012. The most popular vote, Robert Griffin III, has become a very polarizing pick among Browns fans and media, and understandably so; RG3 won this year’s Heisman trophy with his exciting, high-caliber play. His play carried the Bears to one of their best records in recent memory at...
Tony Grossi Removed from Hall of Fame Committee
The Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting that Mary Kay Cabot is replacing Tony Grossi on the Hall of Fame committee. The need to replace Grossi was due to the Plain dealer removing Grossi as a Browns Beat writer, due to his Twitter screw-up, one that blasted Randy Lerner--owner of the Cleveland Browns. Those unfamiliar with what will surely be called "The Tweet" in Browns...
