I wonder who the other scheduled visits are?

---

Maybe Lance Briggs?
Wouldn't that be a hoot.....(if we could afford him)

I would be surprised if Stallworth weren't signed by the Browns before the weekend was over.

---

I believe we will sign a linebacker before we sign a WR.

---

I smell a sig bet!

---

No need for the sig bet. He could be right, it could be Laboy, but I doubt Stallworth leaves town without a contract.

lets not forget Vrabel how many TDs did he have?

---

Maybe we should have Vrabel as our #2

---

Vrabel had two catches for two TD's. One less than Stallworth.

---

oops I could have sworn I saw at least 3 this year

Lance Briggs hopefully

I don't think Stallworth is a #2. I think he's #3.

wow, i'm surprised Denver gave up on Walker without a trade for at least a low round pick. He was a stud in GreenBay until he got unhappy with his contract. He does have some character issues, if he is not the number 1 he is not happy. Denver was going in another direction and he did not like it. Not exactly a team player.

And Johnson- is he really over-rated. I thought he was a bit under the radar and still think he would be an excellent singing. Berrian is the over-rated one.

I'm surprised Stallworth had such a bad year compared to Moss and Welker. He had only 3 TD's in that offense. You know, the most prolific NFL offense in the history of professional football. And he had 46 catches and 3 TD's as the #2 WR? Jabar Gaffney (5) and Ben Watson (6) had 11 TD's combined.

Do you all really think he's a #2?

I say, "Meh".

I can stop reading now.

I told myself I'd read through this until I came to the first person that hit on the reality of the situation.

Last year, Joe J. was our #2, right?

Wrong.

Kellen Winslow was our #2 receiver, and will continue to be in 2008. That means our #2 receiver is actually our #3, and as a #3, Stallworth makes a TON of sense.

Much is available to Winslow because Edwards can stretch the field, and vice-versa. With another burner opposite of Edwards, that opens up even more room for Winslow, and backs the safeties off even more for the running game and the underneath stuff.

As for Stallworth, he could sign and be called a #2 receiver, whereas he probably isn't getting any play as that anywhere else. He'd certainly earn less than most #2 receivers (in relation to some uber-complicated formula that involves yearly inflation versus production of previous seasons blah blah blah, ehhe) but more than most #3 receivers.........and be considered a success if he "only" matches what he did last year or matches Joe Jurevicius numbers (around 40-50 catches).

Keep in mind that this is a guy who's averaging about 700 yards per season while "only" averaging about 11 starts in three of the last four. Those are pretty good numbers, nevermind adding a guy who can still burn with the best of'em.

I also believe it's smart to consider that if he breaks down and can't finish the year, which has been a problem for him at times, Joe Jurevicius can step right in and our offense really wouldn't miss a beat.

My apologies if this has been laid out by someone allready. Considering there are about 20+ pages of information right now, I'd think people would understand

I just saw on KFFL that the Broncos have released Javon Walker....I would consider asking him to visit , Opinions ? ....

I mentioned Moss early on Friday and no one picked up on it. I figure that if he's winning he's fine as evidenced in his early years in Minnesota and last year in New England.

Since I think we're gonna be on the winning track for at least the next several years and I doubt Moss plays more than 3 more years he'd be worth the dough. Can you imagine the look on opposing DB's faces if we lined up with Edwards, Moss and Winslow?

It won't happen but man, that would be somethin'......

J/C I have not been around since the season ended. I don't spend much time in front of the computer right now.

The Browns seem awfully quiet thus far. I am happy DA and JL are back in the fold. But, there has not been a lot of defensive support added at this point and it doesn't look like the Browns will be getting much immediate help through this year's draft.

Free agent LB Clark Haggans is considered a possibility for the Giants at weak-side linebacker, according to the Newark Star-Ledger.

Haggans has been a right outside linebacker in Pittsburgh's 3-4 since 2000. He's a pressure player, so DC Steve Spagnuolo could probably make him work. The Patriots and Browns are also believed to be pursuing Haggans .

Linker!

Aside from Corey Williams, who are the Browns targeting to help the defense? Stallworth would be a decent addition to the offense.

IMO
Johnson is solid. When Fitz or Boldin get injured, the guy steps in and plays well. I'm not saying he is a number one receiver- but we already have one of those. I think it is not to see his potential as a number two receiver (which in this offense is probably the number three option). He is a better option then Berrian. It looks like the browns like Stallworth- i don't know about him- he seems to miss several games a year as well. Looked good in Philli when healthy, got lost in the WR shuffle in NewEngland. I think its important to see a WR signing in FA- i just don't want it to be Berrian.

---

I think it's to get hung up on WR who couldn't beat out a WR drafted after him. I'm not saying Johnson couldn't be a good player for us...but he hasn't proven that he can be worthwhile. Stallworth had good years in NO and Philly. Given NE situation and overstocked talent, it was easy for him to get lost. But at least to me, he has a better resume than Johnson. IMO.

I could be wrong though...I just never am!

Wow! What more do you want?

Shaun Rogers?
Travis LaBoy?
Clark Haggans?

That's a very nice start, don't you think?

hey, you're the one that said i was for liking Johnson
-all i said is that he would be a solid player.

I don't get cought up in his position in Arizona- Fitz and Boldin are ahead of him. Those are two stud receivers. When he has had the chance, he has contributed. I am looking for a complimentary receiver, i think Johnson is that guy.
