With him being on the "outs" in Houston, what about a potential career "revival" for Steve Slaton as the Browns change of pace/scatback? He fell into the doghouse due to fumbling issues after a nice rookie season (1200+ yards rushing). Thoughts?

I would have no issues with that, in fact I think he would be a nice addition to the team. Esp since I think Hardesty is made of glass and dopn't expect him to ever carry the rock in a regular season game.

two fumble prone backs as your main guys can't be a good thing. I think the Browns would be better off with their change of pace guy that could hold on to the ball.

I loved the pick of Mareciac by the Browns. In the two or so games I watched of Stanford, I liked his play. I think he was voted like 10th in the Heisman last year too, haha.

Cleveland Browns taking conservative approach to free agency, says GM Tom Heckert
Published: Tuesday, June 07, 2011, 10:12 PM Updated: Tuesday, June 07, 2011, 10:14 PM
By Mary Kay Cabot, The Plain Dealer The Plain Dealer
"There's a couple of guys that we may be interested in," Browns GM Tom Heckert said Tuesday of potential free agents in the NFL, "but it's not going to be enough where it's going to affect how we practice and all of that stuff."
AKRON, Ohio -- The Browns won't break the bank on veteran free agents when the NFL re-opens for business, General Manager Tom Heckert said Tuesday.
"We're not going to be gung-ho in free agency," he said after finishing his round at the 12th annual Browns Foundation Golf Tournament at Firestone Country Club. "There's a couple of guys that we may be interested in, but it's not going to be enough where it's going to affect how we practice and all of that stuff."
One free agent the Browns will not pursue is receiver Plaxico Burress, a league source told The Plain Dealer. Heckert said the Browns don't feel desperate to upgrade their receiving corps.
"We added a tight end, and added a fullback that can catch the ball, so I think we did help our receiving as a group," he said. "But if we think somebody can improve us, we'll do it."
Heckert indicated the Browns will be on the lookout for a possible starting safety.
"Right now, Mike Adams is penciled in as a guy who's going to play almost all safety for us, but we'll see," he said. "There's a few guys in free agency and we'll see what happens with the undrafted rookies, so we still have a couple of options out there."
Heckert also confirmed a recent Plain Dealer report that the Browns will not trade for Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb.
"You can dispel that," he said. "We're not trading for a quarterback. That one I'll say."
Heckert couldn't say if fullback Lawrence Vickers is correct to think he won't be back following the drafting of Stanford's Owen Marecic. "It's hard to tell," he said. "We didn't really have a chance to talk to him once free agency started because of the rules. It never started. We'll have to make all of those decisions once everything opens up."
The status of quarterback Jake Delhomme, under contract at $5.4 million, is equally uncertain, Heckert said. "Whenever the thing opens up, we'll sit down with Jake and talk to him and decide what's the best for him and for our organization," Heckert said. "We have to wait until that happens."
Heckert said he's happy that Colt McCoy is getting the offensive skill players together -- Camp Colt III opens Thursday at Texas -- but couldn't quantify it.
"How much they're actually going to learn football-wise, that's debatable, but I do think it's healthy," he said. "Those guys are used to being around each other and so anytime they can do it, I think it's great."
Heckert said the staff, including coaches, are set to go on vacation -- but with some caveats.
"Don't be spending a lot of money, putting it down on houses and don't go out of the country because we might be back," said Heckert. "So yes, we'll be gone, but we'll be ready to come back if we have to."

I still think they will be active regardless of what Heckert said. I don't think they'll be "Phil Savage active' but I think they will add a few nice pieces.

Well we saw what Phil Savage active meant for us in the W-L. I'm fine with not being very active, not sure who will really be available anyway with the CBA crap going on. Home Grown talent.

I'm all for home grown talent. But when you are switching defenses and have as many holes as they do, you need to fill them. That's my concern.

Exactly. They need, at a minimum, a FS, LB, DE, RT or RG and I'd still like a veteran WR. Depth at RB is a concern too.

FS, RT, DE I would say are our top needs. We def need a backup RB bc Hurtesty has proven that he can't stay healthy. If he carries the ball for us 20 times this season I will be surprised. I dont care if its a Vet WR or not, we just need a WR that can play/catch the ball.

I'm not sold on the LB's. I think Fujita is solid but DQ can't seem to stay healthy and Gocong is a question mark, to me. I'd like to see an impact playmaker.

Yeah, I'm doubting DQ at MLB, and out LB group period. And DL is a big concern. These are the 2 areas they need to go after first IMO.

Thats fine but where's the impact LBer in FA? I dont see one. Same with Dline, outside of Ray Edwards who may or may not be a FA I dont see much of anything on the market. We let Rogers walk, who might have been the second best DL on the market.

I'd take any one of these guys (Ruud, Tulloch, Greenway, Posluszny...Harris & Woodley are pipe dreams) and they'd be major upgrades over what the Browns have...

Wouldn't mind seeing Chad Greenway from Minni. He would be an upgrade at OLB.

At DL I would take Edwards or Kiwanuka in a heart beat.
