Say this for Peyton Hillis: His saga has been as consistently bizarre this offseason as it was during the 2011 season.
The end result: Barring a late surprise, Hillis will test his value on the free agent market before deciding if he wants to return to the Cleveland Browns.
Then its up to the Browns to decide if they want him back, how much they want to pay him and whether his...

With the start of free agency, the Cleveland Browns must decide on what to do at the running back position. Despite Peyton Hillis testing the free agent market the Browns may not be in bad shape like many may believe.
One move made last year in free agency could wind up helping the Browns in the 2012 season. Team GM Tom Heckert had signed running back Brandon Jackson to a 2-year...

According to a report by Tony Grossi the Steelers are expected to meet with Peyton Hillis today at 4 pm for the start of Free Agency. Take it for what it is worth. This would be huge for the Steelers if it is true. Hillis was a beast before his injury and would fit in perfectly with the Steelers. He brings a presence of toughness to the offense that we have been lacking....

If the Cleveland Browns are truly looking to replace Colt McCoy as starting quarterback the options are thinning rather rapidly. After losing out in the Robert Griffin III lottery along with speculation of Peyton Manning going to the Denver Broncos or Arizona Cardinals, the Browns must look elsewhere--possibly Matt Flynn or Ryan Tannehill.
Aside from Manning, Flynn is considered...
The Browns invested heavily in CB's Joe Haden and Sheldon Brown, as they have with LB's D'Qwell Jackson and Chris Gocong. With questionable depth, the Browns may not be in position to acquire a starter quality player at the positions of note, and the organization is still sniffing around QB options.

If Robert Griffin III had been coming out last year with the same perceived value as he has entering this year’s draft, and the price would have been the Browns’ 2011 first-rounder (the sixth overall pick) plus the next year’s first-round pick, the trade would have been a no-brainer. Yet when accounting for last year’s draft day trade with the Atlanta Falcons, that’s essentially...

Regardless of how exactly the process went down this past weekend, the Browns missed their man. What isn’t in question is that the Browns wanted RG3 on the team and he will not be. So like any good co-dependent fanbase, we scour the earth to figure out who we can count on to be the quarterback to take the Browns to the Super Bowl. When one door closes another one opens. Usually...
