LB Clark Haggans Set to Visit Cleveland
After hearing rumors of his arrival since the day of free agency, linebacker Clark Haggans is finally scheduled to visit with the Browns today and tomorrow, according to agent Jeff Sperbeck.
Haggans recorded 32.5 sacks the past six years with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he's not too bad of a tackler either. Playing opposite of Kamerion Wimbley would be an upgrade over Antwan Peek and Willie McGinest. I wrote an article last week about needing depth at the linebacker position and in the secondary still. I think a guy who's had years of experience in the Steelers' 3-4 system, and is almost guaranteed a little over five sacks a year, sounds like a pretty good deal.
And, although he wasn't necessarily an "X-factor" in the Browns-Steelers rivalry, any little edge or moment when Haggans has the chance to take down Ben Roethlisberger should sound satisfying to any Browns fan.
Since Haggans has already visited with quite a few teams, and since the Browns lost out on Chaun Thompson (signed with the Texans), I wouldn't be too surprised if a deal is announced in the coming days.

Re: LB Clark Haggans Set to Visit Cleveland
See a pattern with when Pittsburgh tosses out a good LB?
Kendrel Bell- Off to the Chiefs, never heard of again.
Joey Porter- Off to the Dolphins. Got one "freebee mercy sack" of Ben, because Ben felt bad for him being on a 1 and 15 team.
Greg Lloyd- Ripped you guys up for years, left the Steelers, never heard from again.
Hmmmm.... pattern??
I will give you guys props for keeping "The Moose from Scappoose". Didn't think you had the balls. I saw that guy play highschool football here in the Portland area, and you could tell then that he was somethin special....

Re: LB Clark Haggans Set to Visit Cleveland
I can't wait till you guys run Derek out of there and get Quinn under center. He'll fall flat on his face and y'all will throw biscuits at him and whine that you want B Kosar back!
Keep it real Dawgs!!!

For television purposes though, I think announcers are obligated to use the one that the FCC would deem as less profane :-x

Re: LB Clark Haggans Set to Visit Cleveland
I think it's better than the Browns policy of only keeping LBs that know how to quilt and have at least 5 petunias in their personal flower garden.
Different strokes for different folks.
Oh by the way, we don't like WR's that hit women, so if you're interested in WIlson, he's been cut for just that. Maybe he can teach your LBs how to be mean.
