Browns Interested In Trading For Darrelle Revis

Sep 23, 2014 9:20 PM

The Cleveland Browns are interested in trading for Darrelle Revis.

The Browns run the same system on defense as the one Revis thrived in with the New York Jets.

If the Browns were to trade for Revis, a renegotiated deal would be necessary.

The Browns have plenty of cap space and could pair Revis with Joe Haden at cornerback.

Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that the Raiders also have strong interest in Revis, but that report was later refuted.

Browns, Raiders, Jets Interested In Matt Schaub

Nov 27, 2014 9:54 PM

The Cleveland Browns are a "serious possibility" to sign Matt Schaub.

Schaub, who played well for Kyle Shanahan when they were with the Houston Texans together, would compete for the starting quarterback job with Brian Hoyer.

The Texans might release Schaub since he doesn't figure in their long-term plans and is due to make $10 million in 2014.

The Oakland Raiders and New York Jets are also believed to be interested in Schaub should he become a free agent.

Jim Harbaugh's Act Wearing Thin To Players

Sep 15, 2014 10:57 PM

Issues between Jim Harbaugh and the San Francisco 49ers seem to be getting more public as the offseason continues.

Harbaugh's act has reportedly worn thin, particularly among some key "face of the 49ers" type players. 

Harbaugh and the 49ers were expected to discuss a contract extension this offseason, but the issues appear worse than imagined.

Harbaugh and Trent Baalke have an apparent disconnect and the organization is likely to side with the general manager.

"We seem to thrive on chaos and distraction," said one source.
