Reformation Saturday: Sam Bradford Edition
So…have you heard about this NFL lockout that is supposed to happen next year?
Evidentally some have. From the “Get It Before It’s Gone” Department comes this…
Bradford Gets 50 Million Guaranteed
Quarterback Sam Bradford, the No. 1 overall draft pick of the St. Louis Rams, reportedly agreed to a six-year deal that is worth a record $50 million in guarantees. Read the rest of this entry »
Friday Roundup: Joe Haden Edition
Ever so slowly, the league’s first-round draft picks are beginning to sign. And in a sign of continued torment, the Oakland Raiders have yet again stuck it to our Browns.
First, Red Right 88 – and now this…
Details of McClain’s deal were not released by the NFL team, but a league source told ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter that McClain signed a five-year deal worth $40 million that included $23 million guaranteed.
Why is this important? Does anyone in Cleveland truly care about Rolando McClain? Read the rest of this entry »
Thursday Roundup: Blood and Mayhem Edition
It’s late July in Berea, which can mean only one thing…
If Eric Mangini is still employed as head coach of the Browns – look for the knives to come out. Considering that Mangini is still in charge – as inconvenient as this may be to some – the annual sacrifice begins.
First, from the usual suspects….
PFT – Patriots Gutting Reminders of Past Glory
This is the type of move that new coaches sometimes make, breaking from the past, inspiring hatred among the tradition-loving locals.
Damn! Did you see how PFT did that? Read the rest of this entry »
Wednesday Feedback: The Importance of Leroy Kelly
Running Back Week continues here at Cleveland Reboot, as several readers accepted the challenge I laid out yesterday – where I asked why I should care about Browns’ Hall of Famer Leroy Kelly.
Tuesday Feedback: Reader Edition
First, from regular contributor jhf44lk… Read the rest of this entry »
Tuesday Feedback: Reader Edition
There’s nothing that brings out the passion of the Browns’ fan base more than a little running back back debate. Blame it on our legacy as a long-ago champion – the moments of which were defined by the game’s greatest back, but in Cleveland – we take our running backs seriously.
And by the dozen – which explains the idea behind yesterday’s post….
Historically Speaking: Montario Hardesty Edition
The whole point was that rookie back Montario Hardesty is indeed the next in line to become the “next” great Browns’ back – which isn’t exactly a badge of honor, considering all those who came before him during the expansion era.
Or in other words – today’s offseason hype can easily turn into tomorrow’s Lee Suggs. Read the rest of this entry »
Historically Speaking: Montario Hardesty Edition
Depending on your perspective, the signing of Montario Hardesty is either the only happening on a slow Monday – or marks the beginning of a compelling new chapter in Browns’ history.
Browns and Hardesty Agree to Terms
On one hand Hardesty appears to be the most NFL-ready back the Browns have unearthed in years – but on the other – who exactly is he being compared to?
After all, the franchise whose legacy was cemented by the game’s greatest running back and current pseudo-shaman has not produced much of a ground attack in say….just a shade over forty years.
Of course, there have some blips along the way. Read the rest of this entry »
Sunday Roundup: Swap Meet Edition
After months of painful waiting, a certain form of training camp has begun, yet the news coming from Berea has been paper thin – or perhaps even recycled.
If you know what I mean….
Dave Razzano is a name unfamiliar to most fans, but the former NFL scout for the 49ers, Cardinals and Rams is well-respected around the league, so when he has something to say about the Browns, it’s worth paying attention.
Wait a minute….this sounds familar – and oddly dated. Read the rest of this entry »
Camp Primer – Rookie Edition
Talk about being ahead of the curve. In hopefully a harbinger of things to come, the Browns have ushered in the annual summer rite of passage - opening their team’s rookie camp a few days before every other team in the league. Or, in other words – at least for the time being – the Browns have finished first in something NFL-related.
Perhaps we should just stop while we’re ahead.
Anyway, with the dawning of rookie camp comes both an intriguing set of possibilities, as well as more than a few questions.
Let’s take a look…. Read the rest of this entry »
Friday Roundup: Place Your Bets Edition
With Browns’ training camp only a few hours away - at least the rookie variety – the news is beginning to heat up around Berea. Oh wait – did I say “news?” I meant fluff-laden and baseless innuendo. I get those confused all the time.
From the Doom and Gloom Desk, comes this….

Thursday Roundup: Reader Choice Edition
Stuff from all over today, as I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the Ringless contest entries, but first – like a gift from the email Gods on a slow news day, two Reboot readers delivered the goods.
First, from Kirk Reynolds comes a most welcome, if not foreign topic – an item regarding those suddenly resurgent Browns.
Longtime NFL scout Dave Razzano has some kind words for our beloved franchise – and manages to avoid tripping over clumsy cliches such as “long suffering”, “LeBron James” and “Eric Mangini on the hot seat.”
But first, you may be asking yourself – just who is Dave Razzano?
