The signing also has to be an indication that Donte Stallworth is officially healthy. The team waived receiver Steve Sanders in signing Abdullah. In the end, we have the same number of healthy receivers, and one extra safety.

Best news of the day.

So, all of a sudden, we have money in our budget to sign players? Phil Savage has been quoted in just about every major Cleveland news outlet as claiming we had maxed out our budget as his excuse for not pursuing Joe Horn, Ty Law, John Lynch, etc. I’m sure Abdullah is cheaper than those guys but I would assume that there is a similar, journeyman type wide receiver that could have been signed instead of trotting out last year’s seventh-rounder for four crucial games.

This signing makes Phil Savage’s lack of action in adding a cornerback or a wide receiver in the first few weeks of the season much more confusing and indefensible, in my view.

Been checking with the Bronco fans I know. Seems like this could work out well. Though I do agree with NickFantana—if we have this cash lying around, why weren’t we using it?

He’s nice player. His release had nothing to do with religion or fasting. It had to do with his play on the field. While he did come into camp as a starter, he was losing his job to Marquand Manuel before the annual groin injury.

When healthy, Abdullah is a hard hitter, when he doesn’t flat out miss the ball carrier. He takes bad angles to the ball and doesn’t get deep enough in pass coverage. Perhaps the change of scenery will do good by him, but he won;t save the Browns defense….
