Remember Shaun Suisham?

PrintSoon after the Cleveland Browns signed undrafted free agent Leigh Tiffin to a contract, they waived him. The team then proceeded to sign veteran kicker Shaun Suisham (side-note: why was Tiffin signed in the first place?). Suisham has been with two NFL teams during his 5-year career, but probably wasn't a household name until last season. You don't remember who he is? Flash back to late in the 2009 season when the Washington Redskins were primed to be the first team to defeat the New Orleans Saints...
Suisham doesn't have horrible accuracy, but he's still a full four percentage points behind Browns kicker Phil Dawson. There have been rumors that Dawson might stage a mini-holdout again, so signing Suisham is probably just an insurance policy until training camp arrives. Last year, the Browns signed kicker Parker Douglass but waived him when Dawson arrived to the first day of training camp.
