SHELDON BROWN RUMORS

Browns believe Buster Skrine could develop into a starting caliber player

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Cleveland Browns believe 2011 6th round pick Buster Skrine could develop into a starting caliber player. Skrine played sparingly as the Browns’ 4th cornerback as a rookie, but could be ticketed for a bigger role in 2012. Sheldon Brown is currently penciled in as the starter opposite Joe Haden, but he is 33 years old and has obviously...

Browns won’t be moving Sheldon Brown to safety

At 33 years of age, there have been some talks that the Browns could be moving Sheldon Brown from cornerback to safety. Browns GM Tom Heckert defeated any of those rumors today by saying that Brown would not play safety unless there were a “disaster.” It appears he’ll play cornerback for at least one more season, though if he is resigned after the season as a free agent, it...

The Browns' best hope is Heckert

BEREA -- The best hope for the Cleveland Browns sat at a podium Thursday and talked about the teams draft plans.He didnt explain everything, because he cant. But he sure explained a lot. And he did it in a friendly, patient way that brought at least a little belief that it might well work. It has to happen, but at this point in their history the Browns need any sense of belief...

Guessing what the Browns’ moves mean… so far

These are allegedly tea leaves Even without a ton of movement in free agency, I think we’ve seen and heard enough to start at least making some educated guesses about what the Browns are thinking and doing. Please save me the cheap jokes about them doing “nothing” in the comments. Defensive line – Regardless of what you think about Frostee Rucker or Juqua...

NFL Free Agency: Where’s all the Browns money?

I know a lot of people are frustrated with the Browns today as free agents get signed in places like Washington, Buffalo, Tampa Bay and elsewhere. The Browns are estimated to have $17.4 million plus the $1.6 million in awarded money from the Redskins and Cowboys penalties. It is one thing to hear $19 million and it is quite another to try and understand how the Browns are as bad...

The Best Browns Since 1999 – Cornerbacks

The Browns have struggled mostly to find top of the line starters at the cornerback position.  There’s a reason that Tom Heckert drafted Joe Haden and traded for Sheldon Brown when he arrived in Cleveland.  And for as much complaining as some fans do about Sheldon Brown, he has brought a lot to the table for the Browns in coverage.  It seems that sometimes corners do get...

2012 Could Look Like 2011 for Browns in Free Agency

Finally with the Super Bowl completed the Browns can get to work trying to get better.  They will more than likely do it without blockbusters again this off-season.  By that, I mean I don’t expect the strategy to vary wildly.  The Browns probably won’t be in any kinds of bidding wars unless they decide that Matt Flynn is their quarterback.  It isn’t every year...
