Rudd has been blasted as a mediocre player by scouts all season long. Ben Taylor basically.

Sounds like all of the Browns draft picks are sign and in the fold.
The Browns HAVE signed a free agent and are keeping it a "secret" until Fri/Sat
@DanielWolfNFLDaniel Wolf
No details on who the #Browns' new free agent signing is and that is been kept secret until Fri/Sat, per my source too.

Hopefully the signing isn't resigning Failhomme. What a bunch of girls though, why keep it a secret?

So they can crush our dreams when they announce it's Usama Young?

Maybe it is Pyror, and they just don't want a media circus for the time being.

Could be Willie Colon (OT, Steelers). I know they've been talking to him.

Actually heard there's another team pursuing Mitchell hard.

It would be an upgrade over anything we've had there since Tuck.

Went to Kent State. My buddy has played basketball against him at the rec center. That's the extent of my knowledge of Usama Young.

Special teamer. Don't believe he was a starter in New Orleans. He'd be in the rotation here.

Sounds like Edwards is the Browns #1 priority right now and the odds of landing Joseph are slim. They are making a full on push to sign Edwards. May have to bring in Gloria James to seal the deal.

BTW...I personally think we're going to be in for a surprise over the next few days. I think they are holding off to announce the free agent & rookie signings until tomorrow/Saturday.

Don't want to be overshadowed by the fukyoudome trade

Gloria James sent Mantooth a text and he posted it on my FB wall...
j/k
I saw the Joseph part on the OBR but that may be changing. Joseph's top suitors may now be NYJ's, DET, CIN & CLE. It's believed that the Texans are the likely landing spot for Asomugha. Joseph is just waiting for Asomugha to set the market.
EDIT: Joseph now being pursued heavily by CIN, DET & TB (has made an offer)
EDIT AGAIN: No Joseph to Cleveland. He's the hot commodity and Edwards being courted heavily by TEN & CLE with ATL possibly making a bid.

I have yet to see Joseph linked to Cle so that would be a HUGE surprise

Teams hesitant to sign, think success was due to Jared Allen across from him. RT: @ShanePHallam Whats the word on Ray Edwards?

NRTU, CoA but that's a bunch of bunk. A poster on the OBR pointed out Edwards number of hits & QB pressures and they were actually BETTER than Allen's over a 2 year period. Allen just got the glamour due to the sacks. I know you're just relaying info.

Barring any changes it sounds like Usama Young will be a Brown.
Browns also interested in WR's Mark Clayton & Danny Amendola. Makes sense as Shurmur is familiar with them. Really like Amendola as a "Wes Welker-type."
