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 Tony Zarella from 19 Action News reported that the Browns were offering three years for $16.5 million with $3 million fully guaranteed.  Other reports/rumors came from LeCharles Bentley that the Hillis camp was seeking somewhere in the neighborhood of $10 million guaranteed.  Obviously at that time the Browns and Hillis’ people were very far apart. They were so far apart, in fact, that it was thought prior to yesterday’s report that the Browns were letting Hillis walk without much of a fight and/or negotiation.  So now, assuming there is some truth to the report, what are the chances that this t...

Report: Browns want to sign Hillis

Despite a tumultuous and injury-riddled campaign last season, Peyton Hillis reportedly showed enough during the team's final six games to cause the team to offer him a long-term deal.

Browns hope to re-sign Hillis after he got back into the team’s good graces

Monday, January 30, 2012, 10:43 PM ET By Anthony Caruso III The Capital Sports Report Owner/Managing Editor/Sr. Writer 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...

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. A quietly strong end to the season has apparently changed the team’s mind. Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports via a league source the Browns are…

POLL: Who are the Best Browns Players Since 1999? Special Teams

Whew. That exercise yesterday was difficult to say the least. I know for some of you it was just downright depressing. Well, today things get a lot easier. This is a walk in the park compared to yesterday. I figure the only really difficult question is who is the best punter and second place for pretty much every other category. 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...

With Browns Hiring Childress, Where Does This Leave Peyton Hillis?

With the Cleveland Browns adding Brad Childress to the coaching staff as thier new offensive coordinator, I am wondering if the leaves Peyton Hillis on the outside looking in. The is a strange situation in Cleveland, Ohio, the Browns name a new offensive coordinator and it is also been stated Pat Shurmur will still call the plays. We all know Peyton Hillis had a terrible showing...

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...

The Mirage; Super Bowl Pick

After the likes of Tim Couch, Kelly Holcomb, Doug Pederson, Spergon Wynn, Charlie Frye, Derek Anderson, Brady Quinn......a championship quality is a mirage to Browns fans. Now with Colt McCoy and Seneca Wallace, a championship quality QB in Cleveland remains a mirage, or does it?

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...
