[DAY 5 OPEN THREAD FOR SATURDAY OF FREE AGENCY]
The busiest news day of free agency for the Cleveland Browns might have been Day 3 on Thursday, but for all the wrong reasons. After fans were generally pleased to hear media reports that TE Jordan Cameron was returning to the Browns, conflicting reports later came out that Cameron was actually signing with the Dolphins. Before the end of the night, Cameron was talking about how he was looking forward to playing with QB Ryan Tannehill. (Sigh)
We're returning for one final day of our live blog, covering short one-liners about the latest small rumors, signings, or trades involving Cleveland or other NFL teams. You should also use the comments section as your free agency open thread! (Newest updates will be at the top of the live blog below)

2:17 PM: Interest around the league is heating up when it comes to DE Greg Hardy, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. One report says that a team that doesn't want to be identified is interested. There has been nothing connecting the Browns to Hardy, but, the Browns were supposedly one of the teams telling agents they wanted their interest in players kept quiet.
Panthers free-agent DE Greg Hardy drawing more interest than some predicted:... http://t.co/aRn2KPXzq9

9:12 AM: The Browns now reportedly have strong interest in WR Dwayne Bowe. I feel hesitant on believing tweets these days (note: that's a joke; has nothing to do with Adam Caplan).
As others have said, #Browns have interest in WR Dwayne Bowe. My understanding is it's strong interest.

Brian Orakpo's deal with the Titans: four years, $32 million base value, $35 million max, with $13.5 guaranteed, per source.

7:52 AM: Good morning again, Browns fans. Our Day 3 live blog is here, in case you missed anything from Thursday. This morning, let's start with a few quotes from TE Jordan Cameron's interview on Dolphins.com regarding why he signed with Miami:
Cameron: "They got Suh yesterday, (that's) a big deal. Tannehill is making strides, I'm excited to be here & it's going to be a good thing."

Cameron on Tannehill: He's young, he's willing to work & puts the hours in..definitely was a big part of my decision. pic.twitter.com/96umfrMRzU
