It could be extended (which I read about 2 hours ago) but I think the Browns are going to start looking in another direction if Reid doesn't make up his mind.

Seems to me, Mangini did very well with this type of player the last half of the season.
Agree 100%. As I mentioned on the previous page, these remind me of last years' Mangini signings except these guys aren't Jets.

I still look for the Browns to grab a stud OG/OT regardless of the Pashos signing.

These are the types of moves you make in free agency. Nothing bank-breaking (how many of those guys live up to those contracts?). Just solid, team oriented guys.

How close are the Browns to sign Rob Sims? or are they considering him?

I'm excited about the Fujita signing, but not so sure of the Pashos signing. Now I don't consider myself an expert evaluating OLinemen by any means but from what I've read, it sounds like he only started like 5 games last season. Why are we so excited about that? Is he really better than what we have already, or is he just another mediocre player on the right side?

He can't be any worse than St. Clair.

pkebker, Pashos was injured last season (nothing serious). That is why he only started 5 games.

So can we expect him to be our starter for all 16 games (assuming he doesn't get injured). I guess I mean, is he the answer to RT?

^^^I would say he has a hell of a shot to start. St. Clair can't block himself!! He shoulda been cut after week 16.

Just wondering if tomorrow is going to bring any surprises? TO to Cincy? B Marshall-SEA? McNabb-CLE? Who knows what's going to happen...hopefully something good!

I believe he played full seasons the two years before last. If I'm remembering that correctly, it means last year was an aberration and he's been a reliable player.

Quiet. The longer this Philly situation drags out, the less chance we'll be getting a QB from there.

Regarding the eagles situation...

http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/tag/_/name/free-agency-2010

The Philadelphia Eagles took the first step in retaining quarterback Michael Vick on Sunday. But appearances can be deceiving.

The Eagles exercised Vick's $1.5 million roster bonus, a decision that needed to be made before Tuesday's deadline. So is this a costly smoke screen to preserve the quarterback's trade value or do the Eagles plan to have Donovan McNabb, Kevin Kolb and Vick on the roster in 2010? I'm leaning toward the former, but there's a chance Philly could get stuck with the latter scenario.

There's no good reason to pay a backup quarterback $5.25 million, which is what Vick would be owed by the Eagles in 2010. It would be one thing if Andy Reid had found a way to turn Vick into a true weapon in '09 but we all know that wasn't the case.

One must also consider the fact that Vick doesn't see himself as a backup in this league. He really had no other choice but to say the right things in '09, but I could see frustration setting in if he's forced to be a bit player in 2010. Sure, he's grateful the Eagles gave him a place to re-launch his career, but he also knows how small his window could be as a starting quarterback in the league.

Vick's remarkable athleticism is what used to set him apart from other quarterbacks. But as he approaches 30, those rare skills will soon be on the decline. My prediction is that general manager Howie Roseman will desperately try to land a third-round pick for Vick leading up to the draft but then have to settle for a fourth-rounder.

Despite the $1.5 million bonus you're reading about today, I still don't think Vick will be on the roster in 2010. Now please delete this entry in case I'm wrong.

I have a hard believing they go into the season with all 3 QBs on their roster. Sombody has to go.....don't they?

Or is this just wishful thinking???????

I think its pretty hilarious that they think they can get a 3rd or 4th rounder for Vick.

Thoughts on Denver TE Tony Scheffler? He's on the block and could probably be had for a 4th, maybe 5th, rounder.

He's a solid player who's an above average pass catcher. Would be a nice filler for a 5th I think.
