Lots of Browns news this morning. First, Steve Doerschuk reports in this morning's Canton Repository that the Browns may ink a new nose tackle as soon as today. The Browns are reportedly talking with Sam Adams, Ted Washington and Grady Jackson, with Maake Kemoeatu waiting in the wings. Any of these guys would be a huge improvement at a key position in a 3-4 scheme. Doerschuk also mentions WR David Givens and DE Trevor Pryce as possible near-term signings.
The Akron Beacon-Journal's Pat McManamon has a column today discussing the implications of the Browns' failure to re-sign L.J. Shelton and the leading candidates to replace him. McManamon identifies Brad Hopkins as the best available LT, with Jon Runyan, Jason Fabini, Damion McIntosh, Kenyatta Walker, Tom Ashworth and Kevin Shaffer also in the mix. This makes for a pretty lean market in tackles. In contrast, this year's draft is fairly deep at this position, and I still think the Browns should look there for a long-term fix.
Aside from a column from Tony Grossi rehashing how much money the Browns have to spend, The Plain Dealer has nothing of interest. The Plain Dealer sucks.
Meanwhile, in the Browns blogosphere, Ace Davis discusses players that the Browns will likely lose to free agency, while DawgBones.com talks about free agent and draft alternatives at the defensive tackle position.
