According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports, the Cleveland Browns are trying to acquire a quarterback through a trade with another team instead of having a free agent quarterback on the open market put on Browns jersey.
Per the reports, Browns team president Mike Holmgren and general manager Tom Heckert are interested to acquire a quarterback from their former teams, and Seattle Seahawks’ Matt Hasselbeck and Philadelphia Eagles’ Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb are obviously on the list.
What about their current quarterbacks Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn?
According to the Plain Dealer, the Browns are very likely to release Anderson to avoid paying him the $2 million roster bonus on March 19. And Quinn, who is still being evaluated by the Browns, could be within the price Browns offer to acquire a new quarterback from another team.

Browns safety Pool has no plan to retire
Because of concussions he used to suffer, the Cleveland Browns safety Brodney Pool has been guessed to have plan of retirement in 2010. However, his agent, Ben Dogra cleared recently that the safety will continue wearing Browns jersey in NFL games.
"Brodney absolutely intends on playing football for many years to come," Dogra wrote in an e-mail. "He has been checked out and has a clean bill of health. He is anxious to play football in 2010."
At age 25, it is really early for Pool to talk about retirement. But he missed the final five games of last season because of concussions after starting 10 games. Nonetheless, the Browns still value him and give the second-round level of $1.276 million or the first-round tender of $2.621 million as the price of trading for him.

2009 season out-of-expectation: Cleveland Browns
Well, the Cleveland Browns are at least now much less disappointing team, though the team is still a low-rank team in the league, but at least they have made a large step up from the bottom.
Winning only one of the first 14 games of the regular season, the Browns’ performance disappointed many fans. They stayed at the bottom of the ranking for quite a long time, and many of the teams who beat them won the game easily by lopsided scores. But when all people thought the Browns had been done for the season, they surprised us by achieving a four-game winning streak!
The last four consecutive wins were far from enough to save the Browns, but they did work in bringing many fans back after they were to disappointedly toss away their Browns jerseys and vow not to support the team anymore. Making some moves with the roster and managing group, the Browns expect and are expected to have a better season in 2010.

NFLPA will investigate into Browns Coach’s tough practices
As more and more players began to complaint about Cleveland Browns coach Eric Mangini’s toughness in practices, the NFL Players Association decides to set up a meeting with all players who wear Browns jerseys this week to talk about that, with concerns about health and safety.
Defensive end Keith Grennan hurt his knee on a drill last week, and rookie running back James Davis went on injured reserve last month with a season-ending shoulder injury. The two injuries caused a lot of speculations about Mangini’s practice policies, and the league was forced to examine what happened to Davis. After reviewing video of the practice session and interviewing Browns players, coaches and team staff, the league determined the Browns did not violate any league policies.
But new complaints came out last week as veteran running back Jamal Lewis said he thought Mangini was tiring out his players by overworking the Browns. The team did not improve under his strict rules as Mangini expected, the 1-7 performance had caused fans to plan a protest. Maybe Lewis was right, overworking is just not the right way to coach Cleveland players.

Browns RB Lewis thought the team was beaten down by Coach Mangini
The Cleveland Browns are struggling with another frustratingly losing season because of Coach Eric Mangini, according the Browns running back Jamal Lewis. He thought the coach has been overworking the team.
“Hey, this is his show, it’s not mine,” Lewis said. “It’s his show, it’s not my show. Not anybody else around here’s show. We’re just the crop. You’ve got to take care of your crop. If you don’t take care of your crop, when it comes time to harvest, you’re not going to make no money because the crop ain’t no good.”
The veteran running back has intention to take off NFL jersey and retire after this season. Before leaving, he just wants to say something or try to give advice to the rookie coach. As one of Cleveland’s six captains, he thinks that Mangini’s rugged, lengthy practices of up to three hours have hurt the Browns effectiveness in playing real games. It sounds like to climb out of blame for possible loss by making such comment three days before he will start against the Baltimore Ravens, but at least he represents most Browns players, who are still far from in fond of the first-year coach.

Want win- Browns fans planned to protest on Nov. 16
Mike Randall, a lifelong fan for the Cleveland Browns, is planning a protest on Nov. 16th night, when the Browns will play home game against the Baltimore Ravens. He wants to tell the Browns that the fans have been fed up with losses.
“We’re tired of losing,” the 39-year-old Randall said. “We’re tired of the booing, of seeing fans leave in the fourth quarter. There are fans who have had tickets for 30 years who are turning their seats in because they can’t take it anymore. So many fans are fed up.”
His plan is to encourage other Browns fans to stay away from their seats for the opening kickoff of the game in hope that Browns Owner Randy Lerner and club officials will see how much they have disappointed the fans when seeing empty seats for the start of the nationally televised Monday night game.
After last Sunday’s 31-3 loss to the Green Bay packers, the Browns is now 1-6, and actually they have been nearly losing constantly since returning to the league in 1999. Many fans left in the fourth quarters and those stayed to the end grumbled about wasting time and money, which has not only been spent on tickets but also on the Browns jerseys thy were wearing for supporting the team. If a protest can bring the team to winning, they surely would be glad to take part in. Hopefully it will work.

Browns nose tackle Rogers missed second practice for non-injury reason
On Thursday, the Cleveland Browns Pro Bowl nose tackle Shaun Rogers missed his second consecutive day of practice. But do not worry, he is in good health condition and there is not any dispute about contract. Just some family matter and the team are confident that he does not have to practice before playing Sunday’s game at Pittsburgh.
6 foot and 350 pound, Rogers is the top defensive lineman in Browns jersey. He was credited with four tackles in last week’s win over the Buffalo Bills, and blocked a field-goal attempt and extra-point kick as the Browns forced the Bengals into overtime before losing one week earlier.
The family matter may keep the tackle from practice for a few days and he was expected to return on Friday. And the team did not seem to worry at all on his performance against the Steelers.
