From ESPN's Adam Schefter, suggesting trades he thinks should happen:
"4. Cleveland quarterback Brady Quinn to Carolina for a conditional fourth-round pick: Clearly, the Quinn-Cleveland marriage hasn't worked any better than Greg Norman and Chris Evert's, so call it a day. Right now, Carolina doesn't have a first-round pick in April, and would be unable to draft one of the top quarterbacks, so it would make sense to take a chance on a quarterback who needs a change of scenery."

Four Browns ruled out: K Phil Dawson (right calf) OL Rex Hadnot (knee) RB Jamal Lewis (hamstring) OL Floyd Womack (ankle)

(I) Don't like what's happening in Cleveland, and not just with the 0-2 record. There's a bad vibe that a lot of people are sending out. I don't see .500 this year, and next year's too far away to even think about. So much can change before then. But this year looks like it could be another one of those long years. Brady Quinn looks rattled in the pocket, the offensive line looks leaky, the defense is giving up too many big plays and it has the ingredients for another disappointing year. But do not despair. There is some good news: The Cavaliers should be tremendous.

good luck this year

"Last year I was with the Texans, and when we played the Browns, Braylon Edwards asked me BETWEEN PLAYS if we could talk after the game about modeling and acting."

Can anyone tell me why the Browns are using Ugly gray facemasks instead of white?

Eric Wright, who entered the year as the embattled Eric Wright, is now the reliable Eric Wright. Cleveland's lucky to have him, and the Browns now know that left corner is one position they won't have to fill at the start of 2009.

Brady Quinn tells me his problem is not just a broken bone near the top of the index finger on his throwing hand. It's a damaged tendon, which makes it doubly difficult to spin the ball with the kind of rotation he usually has coming out of his right hand. You saw that against Houston Sunday, in his eight-of-18 performance before getting yanked for Derek Anderson.

I don't care if the Colts are in it, out of it or have a playoff seed wrapped up, Dungy will play his guys. As will Jeff Fisher. He told me after the game Sunday, "We'll play our players'' for 16 games. No rest for the Titans.

Browns announce cuts

The second team to get at or close to 53 players on the active roster is the Cleveland Browns.

The guy most notably on the bubble, receiver Travis Wilson, didn’t make it.

Joining him on the outside looking in were tight end Brad Cieslak, defensive back A.J. Davis, receiver Efrem Hill, tight end Kolomona Kapanui, defensive back Travis Key, offensive lineman James Lee, receiver Lance Leggett, linebacker David McMillan, defensive back Brandon Mitchell, linebacker Chase Ortiz, offensive lineman Jonathan Palmer, defensive back Jereme Perry, defensive lienman Melila Purcell, kicker Jason Reda, receiver Steve Sanders, and linebacker Shantee Orr.

The Browns also waived-injured the following players: offensive lineman Derrick Morse, offensive lineman Marvin Philip, defensive lineman Chase Pittman, and running back Travis Thomas.

Offensive lineman Lennie Friedman was placed on injured reserve.
