The Browns have traded tight end Kellen Winslow to the Buccaneers in exchange for undisclosed draft picks. "The Cleveland Browns thank Kellen for his contributions to this organization over the past five years," new general manager George Kokinis said in a statement. "We appreciate his passion for the game and wish him success in Tampa Bay. "The draft picks we have obtained through this deal will give us greater flexibility as we look to infuse more talent and create competition and depth on this football team."

Browns coach Eric Mangini has named Matt Eberflus his linebackers coach, which fills the biggest void on his staff. Eberflus, hired Sunday, spent the last eight years at Missouri, where he was most recently associate head coach.

The Browns aren't in a hurry to get rid of quarterback Derek Anderson, and are willing to allow Brady Quinn and Anderson battle it out for the starting spot. There has been speculation that Cleveland wanted to get rid of Anderson because of his $5 million roster bonus, due next month.

The Buccaneers have quite a few quarterbacks under contract, but rumors are beginning to gain steam that they could trade for Cleveland's Derek Anderson.

The Browns released quarterbacks Ken Dorsey and Brad Gradkowski, along with five other players on Monday. Linebacker Antwan Peek, cornerback Terry Cousin, and three developmental players -- punter Mike Dragosavich, kicker Jason Reda and offensive lineman Eric Young were also let go.

New Browns coach Eric Mangini acknowledges that his team must beat the Steelers in order to be considered successful. "What do you have to do to beat that team?" Mangini asked. "I don't think it's even a function of approaching it any differently. It's understood that you can't play in one of the Pittsburgh games without feeling it between the cities. "What we need to do is make sure we're improving each day and make sure that we're making progress, make sure that every single day we're collectively making the decisions we need to make to get better. It starts there and when you get to that week, you need to understand what you have to do to win that game that week. There's nothing more important than that."

If the Vikings aren't able to acquire Matt Cassel, Matt Hasselbeck or Brett Favre, they are expected to look at Derek Anderson, Jeff Garcia and Rex Grossman. The Browns intend to start Brady Quinn at quarterback, and might have to waive Anderson if they can't trade him.

A team insider is telling people that new coach Eric Mangini has already started to make things miserable for the people around him in Cleveland. Mangini painted over a mural of former Browns greats near the players' entrance, and reportedly ignored Pro Bowler Shaun Rogers at a recent public function.
