For his role in the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal, Cleveland Browns linebacker Scott Fujita has been handed a three-game suspension from the National Football League. In an interview with Sports Illustrated‘s Peter King, Fujita, a known philanthropist and well-respected veteran, said that while he contributed money for teammate performance and “big plays,” it was never in attempt to injure the opposition. Fujita’s former teammate Johnathan Vilma has been suspended for the entire 2012 NFL season. Anthony Hargrove and Will Smith were suspended for eight games and four games, respectively. Usama Young, another former member of the New Orleans Saints, was not punished for his association. Through two injury-plagued seasons with the Browns, Fujita, 33, has amassed 101 total tackles, four sacks and two interceptions.

Are you ready for another Browns QB controversy?

With the recent stories surrounding Colt McCoy and Seneca Wallace, it’s appearing inevitable that we’ll have a heated QB controversy in Berea over the next few months. No trades appear imminent and so, for now, Mike Holmgren and company appear to be moving forward with the two veterans and rookie Brandon Weeden leading the race together for the signal-caller position. And get...

A Dan Coughlin guest post: Browns Still Hunting for a QB

It is our pleasure to introduce a guest post today by Cleveland’s own Dan Coughlin. Enjoy! I fell in love with Brandon Weeden late last season when I saw him against Baylor and later in the bowl game against Stanford. I wasn’t overly enamored with Stanford’s Andrew Luck. Everyone in the world was raving about Luck, but I preferred Baylor’s Robert Griffin III and Weeden, the...

As teams wade into the later rounds during day three of the NFL Draft, their homework that they have done can pay big dividends. This is where the various college scouts and their expertise come in to play. The pace is quicker, as picks come in fast and furious, and if you aren’t at the top of your game, you may miss out on some special talent. The Cleveland Browns did...

NFL Draft: Vikings say Browns weren’t alone targeting Richardson

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  May 01, 2012
It has certainly been far less of a talking point for Browns fans, but the compensation used to move from four to three certainly could have been used elsewhere in the 2012 draft had it not been used to grab Trent Richardson. It is possible that those picks could have been used in the pursuit of Kendall Wright or one of the other receivers in a first round trade-up scenario. Alas...

For part three of this five part series we will turn our attention to the fifth round. This round is the “meat” of the third-day draft sandwich. The 5th round particularly has been good for Cleveland traditionally having produced three Hall of Famers. QB Bob Waterfield (1944 Cleveland Rams),  DT Henry Jordan (1957 Browns), and CB Dick LaBeau (1959 Browns) were all selected by...

According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, Cleveland Browns quarterback Seneca Wallace made an appearance on WKRK FM/92.3 today and said that he’s not against mentoring young quarterbacks and that he’d be more than happy to help rookie Brandon Weeden. “I know my job going into my 10th season of being in this offense is to prepare Brandon Weeden to get him right...

Eric Mangini says he regrets bringing the Spygate scandal to light

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  May 02, 2012
When Eric Mangini exposed the Patriots for videotaping opponents’ signals at the start of the 2007 season, he changed the culture of the NFL. Stealing signals — whether by use of camera or other means — is something that is believed to have been done by almost all teams at one point. Now, teams have to be extremely careful. By bringing the Spygate scandal to light, Mangini...

AFC North draft grades

Cleveland Browns: C I've said multiple times throughout this week that I just don't like the Browns first two picks, but if you missed it, I'll restate my argument. Trent Richardson is solid, but he wasn't worth a top 5 pick, and taking a quarterback is not what the Browns needed. They need someone to come in and help Colt McCoy succeed, not somebody to come in and...
