Cleveland Browns Free Agency Grade and Review

Contributor: Michael Beckwith, mvn.com/nfl-browns

Team Needs: NT, DE, OLB, ILB, WR

Key additions: NT Shaun Rogers (Lions), DE Corey Williams (Packers), WR Donte` Stallworth (Patriots), G Red Hadnot (Dolphins), Shantee Orr (Jaguars)

Key Losses: LB Chaun Thompson (Texans), CB Leigh Bodden (Lions)

Key Free Agents Retained: QB Derek Anderson, RB Jamal Lewis

Free Agency Notes: Heading into free agency the Browns had a list of priorities: retain Derek Anderson and Jamal Lewis as well as add bodies to to a defensive line that contributed to a defense that allowed 4.5 yards per carry against the run. Once again, GM Phil Savage was one of the league's most agressive on the open market as he re-signed Anderson and traded for a pair of d-linemen in Corey Williams and Shaun Rogers in the opening weekend. Signing Donte Stallworth will provide a boost to a strong passing game as it allows aging veteran Joe Jurevicius to move to the third WR on the depth chart. Guard Rex Hadnot started all 16 games at Miami last year and will provide depth at multiple positions on the line. Shantee Orr isn't expected to provide anything but special teams help.

Grade: A

Review of Grade: GM Phil Savage put the same kind of focus into fixing the defensive line this off-season as he had in the terrific job he did on the offensive line over the past couple seasons. Both lineman, however, were acquired through trades due to lack of quality linemen on the free agent market. Due to these moves (along with last year's Brady Quinn deal for the '08 #1) the Browns won't have a pick until the 4th round. The Browns will likely enter training camp as the division favorite.

Browns' Rogers just happy to play

BEREA: When it comes to winning and losing, Shaun Rogers has become accustomed to being indifferent. That's because for as much as the Browns' grizzly bear of a defensive lineman has done for both the Browns and his former team, the Detroit Lions, the collective result often has been a demoralizing loss.

Cribbs plans to face Lions

BEREA: Josh Cribbs zipped around during Friday's practice as if nothing had happened earlier in the week. He was imobilized and carried off the field on a stretcher late Monday night in the Browns' 16-0 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Big chunks of yardage

Plays of 20 or more yards allowed by the Browns this season. • Nov. 16 vs. Baltimore (1): Joe Flacco to Derrick Mason, 41 yards.
