Email
PrintAfter the draft officially ends, teams can start going crazy to sign anyone that didn't get drafted. If there is a certain player that the scouting department thought was a "gem" that no one else would draft, they'll grab them right away. So, who have the Browns signed thus far? Check it out after the jump...
Undrafted Free Agents Signed by Cleveland Browns
- TE Troy Wagner, Indiana (Source)
- OT Casey Bender, SDSU (Source)
- OL Joel Reinders, Waterloo (Source)
- DE Auston English, Oklahoma (Source)
- LB Jon Dempsey, Louisville (Unverified)
As more signings come along, we'll report them here. This website here does a good job trying to form an NFL-wide list of the signings.

Keep any updates you guys find coming…if possible, try to include a link/source to where you found the information. I can’t access Dempsey’s Twitter account, so I still need to verify him.

Still a few ranked WR projects out there. Hope we get one or two.
Namely:
Alric Arnett, W.Va. – burner w/ route skills.
Stephen Williams, Toledo – burner w/ good hands and a 3 yr. starter.
Freddie Barnes, Bowling Green – raw project w/ hands like glue.
Other positons of interest:
DT – Jeff Owens, Georgia – some injury concerns but an absolute beast when able
TE – Jeff Cottam, Tennessee – Hardesty’s lead blocker and just as tough. H2M love their UDFA TE’s
Scott Sicko, New Hampshire – maybe the the most polished pass catching TE in draft. Who in Cleveland wouldn’t love to have his replica jersey?!?!?!
G – Still 3 or 4 good ones from some top OL’ s in the country. They are slipping my mind right now. 3 days of this has my cookies a little crispy but I know they are there.
QB – Jarrett Brown, W.Va.; Tim Hiller, W. Mich.; Bill Stull, Pitt. (my fave) ; Riley Skinner, W.Forest – why not get another, just in case?!?!
ATH – Jameson Konz, Kent St. – WR /H-B /LB. Kent has a knack recently for sending these guys to the NFL.
STAY TUNED, THE FAT LADY’S STILL EATING HER BLIMPIE!!!!

I posted that earlier. At least Haden got him out of bounds?

exactly. haden gives a lot of effort and looked better than most corners would look going up against a 250 pound TE

Freddie Barnes would be an interesting pickup. I don’t know much about him but I know he was very productive at BG.
Also, we don’t need to sign another QB. We have 4 right now and it’s really hard to get reps for more than that in training camp.

konz got drafted
at QB, only skinner is still unsigned but Stull only has a tryout and not as official of a contract as the others.
Cottam I believe has signed with the bengals (search his name on google news and multiple sources pop up)
Owens was drafted and sicko has decided that he doesn’t want to play football. all the receivers have contracts too.

People that are against homosexuality aren’t ‘scared’ of homosexuals.
this is a generalization.
racism is defined as believing one race is inherently superior. If homophobia purely equaled racism, then all people with this held belief would feel like gay people were inherently inferior.
From some of the things I have heard people say about gays, this is definitely not true, all feel like they are inherently superior.
A great example of a “true” homophobe is Mel Gibson. He thinks being gay is wrong and disgusting, but he has stated that he does not look down on them and does respect people that he knows that are gay. however his comments show a blatant homophobic opinion.
Some that are labeled with homophobia may just be people who have racist thoughts about gays, that they are inherently inferior. many others are just have a pure irrational dislike of gays…much of it stemming possibly from xenophobia in a person, because many I have met that are homphobic also have very xenophobic tendencies.

But it doesn’t sound like he is SCARED of them, that’s what I’m trying to say.

The suffix “phobe” doesn’t necessarily constitute fear.
While the root word “phobia” comes from the greek phóbos which literally means “morbid fear”, the suffix can also be applied when something precipitates a strong aversion that isn’t necessarily caused by a fear.
The best example is the word Hydrophobic. This can describe a person who has a fear of water, but it can also describe a non-polar molecule that has a strong aversion to water molecules because the polar molecules in a mass of water repel non-polar molecules (the reason why Oil and Water don’t mix).
In this case, it does make sense to describe a person who has a strong aversion to homosexuals as a “homophobe” though fear may have nothing to do with either the aversion or the “homophobe” label.

big man! there was a video of him at the CFL combine on blocking drills and it looked like he struggled a bit
he's only played for 2 years, so i guess the browns are hoping to coach him up.

That site mentions Auston English, DE, Oklahoma, but without a source I’ll wait.

QB Tim Hiller, a guy I like, went to the Colts. Not that we need a QB, but I just noticed it…
I know we just got two safeties, but I wouldn’t mind signing Jeromy Miles. 6’2", 215 lbs out of Massachusetts. He ran a 4.49 40. Sporting News is high on him, and also here is CBS Sports’ analysis. It’s not like Mike Adams, Mike Furrey, and Nick Sorensen should keep us from signing any UDFA that we like.

Man I was hoping we’d sign Pettrey as UDFA. Dawson is geeting really long in the tooth and short on his FGA.
Hopefully we pick up anther PK somewhere.

yeah. I read that he was considered a possible second rounder after his sophmore season. I think he could be a very good player if healthy but I wonder if he lost a lot of speed. he has a high motor but only ran a 4.76 at his pro day.

Sicko done
According to one report Sicko told the Cowboys no he was quitting football cause he did not get drafted. Something about getting more education dam like there is life without football or something.
Ya must have rocks in ya head to work in Iraq?
Yeah but at least mine are shiny!
This kid just has a gigantically bruised ego. He’s whining and throwing a once in a lifetime chance away all because he doesn’t have the bragging right of being drafted. Jones basically guaranteed him a roster spot too. The kid’s stupid.

out of the guys I have found info on, these are some guys who might be good
Reinders (massive guy with a body like veldheer who got drafted high b/c of his size)
Eryk anders (supposedly ran a 4.53 and is a pass rusher who wasn’t bad against the run and stood up last yr)
Chris Chancellor (undersized but a smart scrappy corner)
English (talented guy who had injury problems)
Casey Bender (nice size and experience)
some of the others such as Daniel howard have decent measurables but never really cracked the starting lineup or contributed that much…they could emerge but the guys I listed I think will be the guys that have the best chance at contributing.

This might not be the thread for it…
but can we please please have a punt on Adalius Thomas since the Pats cut him?
He may not have fitted in the Pats 3~4 but i think Rob Ryan can find something for hi to do on the field…

by Keith McDaniels on Apr 26, 2010 11:41 PM EDT reply actions
I really like a lot of these pass rushers. English has legit talent and Howard has some nice talent too. Anders had 6 sacks and was decent against the run, actually playing as a stand up 3-4 LB with alabama. Tiffin would be a great guy for kickoffs if we have room for him on the roster.
I am not sure where robinson fits in a 3-4. He isn’t that explosive and bulked up to about 275-280 pounds (still small for a 3-4 end) for his pro day and was pretty slow.
I like reiders size too.
the one interesting guy to me is Pendland. he has drawn comparisons do darren sproles and is a very quick guy with good speed and COD ability and can help on ST and in the return game.
I dunno how fast develin is but he put up I think over 40 reps in the 225 BP

according to NFL.com the Browns have only signed Casey Benders
http://www.nfl.com/draft/story?id=09000d5d817c7137&template=without-video-with-comments&confirm=true
After a little bit of research, we may have gotten up to 4 roster fills for this year, 3 role players for the future, 2 back up/ spot starters and maybe even a starter. Purely subjective and optimistic, of course.
The 4 roster fills i see are Auston English, DE/LB, Okla. : Eric Anders, ILB, Ala. ; Chris Chancellor, CB, Clemson ; Joel Reinders, OL, Waterloo (Can)
The 3 role players for the future would be English for his pass rushing ability, Anders because I feel we we are still thin at ILB, and Chancellor if he can add 10-20 lbs. without slowing him down. He was the strong side corner on the # 7 pass defense in the nation.
The 2 back up/ spot starters mentioned may be Reinders who is a beast of man and I had actually seen a report on him about possibly being signed prior to the 2009 draft!, and Chancellor (see above). Add English if he can ever get fully healed from an unspecified injury that statistically slowed him the past two years. Was a 1st team All-American in 2008, I believe. May have heard more of him this year if not for the strength OU’s d-line and draft class.
As for the future starter I can’t help but to root for the Canadian and I believe Holmgren had a couple starters from Canada in GB, too. Again add English here for the same reasons stated above.
by theotherJimBrown on Apr 27, 2010 10:55 PM EDT reply actions
I agree, English is an intriguing prospect is he can stay healthy.
by Bernie19Kosar on Apr 28, 2010 12:30 PM EDT up reply actions
These are probably my favorite guys too.
I agree on english and he showed legit talent. the one worry I have is that maybe he isn’t as fast as he was when he was an all american b/c of injury. still, he can be a solid role player and has a high motor. I believe though that he might have been an AA in 2007 b/c that was his sophmore year when he had 9 sacks. even that season though he got injured but he had 9 sacks in his first 9 games.
I love Reinders size and he is a monster. If chancellor can add some weight, yeah that would be great.
I believe Anders was a situational pass rusher at alabama but the guy had a great 2009 season. He was relentless at getting to the QB and had only 5 sacks, but 17 QB hurries…He has great speed (ran a 4.53 supposedly at about 240 pounds) and even when he doesn’t sack the QB, caused great pressure. he also played the run well and I think he is a great find with experience in a 3-4
In about 2 seasons (26 games, but 12 as purely a 3rd down player) Anders recorded 90 tackles (18 for loss), 7.5 sacks, 5 forced fumbles, 23 QB hurries…
in just this season where he was a full time OLB, he had 65 tackles, 5 sacks, 17 QB hurries, 3 forced fumbles, 2 passes broken up, 1 int and 13.5 tackles for a loss…basically he just makes plays.
