One of Peter King’s Tryout Guys, Andrew Sweat, an undrafted linebacker from Ohio State, said that rather than report to camp with the Browns and risk possibly dealing with a lifetime of lingering concussion issues, Sweat instead is going to law school. More troubling fallout from the Junior Seau suicide or is it simply the best way to dodge having to play for the Browns ever? It’s only a possibility because Peyton Hillis didn’t actually follow through with joining the CIA.
Concussion symptoms didn’t want to risk it.. Thanks to the browns for the opportunity. Health trumps football any day
— Andrew Sweat (@asweat42) May 14, 2012
Deadspin’s Jack Dickey gave Sweat a bit of the ol’ snarky snark blogger grief, only for Sweat to respond directly, saying that he’s gonna do just fine as a lawyer ’cause he’s got a sweet-ass connect as his dad’s law firm. Just spitballing here, but I’m gonna ahead and guess that he ends up being commissioner one day.

Keeping Perspective on Browns Rookie Camp Storylines

I was unable to make it to rookie camp this weekend to see and behold the skills of Brandon Weeden and Trent Richardson. In some ways that’s probably a good thing. I learned last year in regular training camp that it is quite a vacuum to look at football. Without some serious perspective it is easy to think the team is far better or far worse than reality.
That doesn’t mean it...

The AFC North is always tough, and 2011 was no exception. All four teams were in the top 10 in overall defense. They made up half of the AFC playoff teams, going a combined 25-15 outside the division. Even the Browns were an almost respectable 4-6 outside the AFC North.
2012 should be similar. So getting a better look at the rest of the division to see what should be coming our...

According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, the Cleveland Browns are optimistic that defensive tackle Phil Taylor will be able to make a significant impact during the 2012 season, despite the fact that he just tore his pectoral muscle.
I think Taylor will start out the regular season on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list, which will force him to miss the...

The Cleveland Browns have been a 4-12 or 5-11 team for which seems like an eternity. Here's why I realistically think the Browns could go 7-9 this year. I think this year's draft has made the biggest impact on our team in years. We drafted a starting RB and a starting QB (unless everyone is shocked and Colt wins the job) in the first round of the draft.
