Browns Update

Good articles in the Canton Repository and the News Herald over the last couple of days about the Browns' draft plans.

Steve Doerschuk's story in yesterday's Repository notes that Phil Savage has conceded more than a passing interest in selecting Oregon NT Haloti Ngata if he's still around when the Browns are on the clock. Doerschuk also has some insights from Savage on the Browns' priorities in free agency. In today's News Herald, Jeff Schudel writes about the combine and the draft analysis that the Browns are going through. In Schudel's piece, Savage pours some cold water on speculation that the team might select Vanderbilt QB Jay Cutler with its first round pick.

The Browns made a little of their own news today, when they released Kennard Lang and Michael Lehan. Here's the story from the Browns' website.

By the way, if you're interested on staying on top of local media coverage of the Browns' offseason moves, I highly recommend the Brownsbacker.com website. They do a great job compiling newspaper and internet stories on the Browns. (That's where I found the two articles I referenced in this post.)
