Cleveland Browns:

• "Kruger says Browns are primed for 'great things'" (Canton Rep) - "It’ll take a while for Paul Kruger to get the 'we' out of his system when talking about the hated Ravens. 'Both games we played against the Browns were tough games,' the new star free agent said of them."
• "Browns continue free agency remodeling" (FS Ohio) - "The main entrance at the Browns facility can't be used because of remodeling on the building. It's been a regular occurrence in Berea since 1999 -- new regime comes in, the building gets remodeled."
• "Sorting Through the Defensive Backs" (OBR) - "With several new faces expected to be joining the Browns in 2013, rest assured, there will be new faces in the defensive backfield. With the need definitely high, this is a superb year to be in the market for a CB or a S. Free agency is deep at both positions and the draft looks very promising through about Round 4."
• "Draft, not free agency, is the first real test for Cleveland Browns' new leaders" (Plain Dealer) - "The measure of the new regime in Berea will come in April, not March... Paul Kruger looks like he just walked off the set of the History Channel's 'Vikings.' Spoiler alert for a football-crazed town: it's not a miniseries about a NFL team."
