The Browns might be looking to use Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace at quarterback this season in hopes of using their contrasting styles. "I don't think you could rule out the possibility of having them both play," Browns coach Eric Mangini said recently. "I think Seneca has had a really nice camp. It's a different style than Jake's, which is good because it puts some different pressures on the defense. Seneca gives you some flexibility to do some things, just like Jake has certain things that he does. "If you can incorporate them both in a plan that makes sense, that works, then that could be a good thing. Then you have a guy like Josh Cribbs, he presents different problems. Now you put Josh Cribbs and Seneca in the game together, they can present different problems." Delhomme is a pocket passer, while Wallace relies more on his agility.

Jim Brown is no longer an official executive adviser for the Browns, the only team he played for during his Hall of Fame career. Brown had served as a consultant for the Browns and team owner Randy Lerner for the past few years. His title has been dropped, but Brown will still be involved with the team, spokesman Neal Gulkis said Thursday.

Jerome Harrison, who rushed for 561 yards in the final three games of last season, has been participating in organized team activities this week despite not signing his one-year tender yet. Harrison was absent on Thursday, the one day of the week open to the media, but was here the first two days of the session. Eric Mangini said Harrison's absence was unrelated to his contract situation. Mangini said Harrison is the only unrestricted free agent participating. The absentees are Matt Roth, D'Qwell Jackson, Lawrence Vickers and Abe Elam. "I think it's good for everyone to be here because it's the second round of install and it helps the player and it helps us for when we go to camp,'' said Mangini. "I'm glad Jerome is here and I expect him to be here next week.''

Browns restricted free-agent linebacker D'Qwell Jackson will sit out the team's mandatory minicamp June 10-12 and is uncertain about training camp. Jackson told the Cleveland Plain Dealer of his plans, despite being medically cleared to play. "I still want to retire as a Cleveland Brown, but I have to be protected," Jackson said. "Unfortunately, this is the business side of it and I have to do what I have to do. But on Sundays, I'll still be the same player I've been for the last four years."

Browns general manager Tom Heckert said Monday that the team has no plans to trade linebacker Matt Roth. Heckert said "it's not going to happen." Roth and his camp went public with the trade request early Monday. He is one of Cleveland's five restricted free aghttp://www.realgmfootball.com/rgmadmin/wiretap/editarticle.php?articleid=17088ents.

Browns kicker Phil Dawson skipped the team's voluntary workout on Monday in a believed contract protest. Dawson, the second-leading scorer in team history, is in the final year of his deal. Cleveland general manager Tom Heckert would not say if Dawson's absence Monday was because of a contract dispute. "I really don't want to get into it, but that's not the whole thing with him," Heckert said.

Matt Roth has asked the Browns to trade him. Roth, a restricted free-agent pass rusher, had four sacks last season. The two sides are not close on a multiyear contract extension. Roth is saying he will not sign his tender, so there is a standoff in Cleveland, which is why the trade was requested.

The Browns are the latest team to express no interest in signing free-agent wide receiver Terrell Owens. Cleveland general manager Tom Heckert told The Plain Dealer that while he hasn't ruled out adding a veteran receiver, Owens is "not on our radar." Owens is reportedly seeking $5 million per season.

Quarterback Seneca Wallace will likely play a significant role for the Browns this season. "Regardless of how it works," coach Eric Mangini said when asked if Wallace could be the team's starter. "Seneca's going to have plays in there where he'll be involved, and maybe he'll be involved with Josh (Cribbs), and we can have some fun with that."

After repeatedly saying that rookie Colt McCoy won't start this season, Browns president Mike Holmgren has hinted that may not be the case. Cleveland drafted McCoy last month. "Holmgren said on 'Mike and Mike' that in a perfect world McCoy won't play this year 'but heck if he's the guy, he plays,' " Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plan Dealer wrote on her Twitter page.
