That Wide Receiver very well could be Randy Moss.

If so, I would like the Patriots a lot more.

I agree Randy Moss heading over the New England and being their number one wide-out is a great match and would put the Patriots back on track to do some damage next year in the NFL.

Source: Jamal Lewis agrees with Browns

CLEVELAND (AP) - Free agent running back Jamal Lewis agreed to a one-year deal with the Cleveland Browns, a person within the NFL told The Associated Press on Wednesday night.

Lewis was released last week in a salary-cap move by Baltimore, which elected not to pay their career rushing leader a $5 million roster bonus. He'll now join the Browns, Baltimore's AFC North rival, who were last in the league in rushing in 2006. Lewis visited the Browns on Wednesday and decided to sign with the team before leaving town, said the person who has knowledge of the negotiations and spoke on the condition of anonymity because the 27-year-old Lewis hasn't signed yet.
With the Ravens reportedly interested in acquiring Buffalo running back Willis McGahee, Lewis decided to look elsewhere and found a fit with the Browns - the team he torched for an NFL-record 295 yards in 2003.

Lewis spent the afternoon at the Browns' facilities in suburban Berea, meeting with general manager Phil Savage and coach Romeo Crennel. Savage was with the Ravens in 2000 when the club drafted Lewis in the first round out of Tennessee.
Lewis, the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year in 2003, is an upgrade at running back for the Browns, who now have to figure out what to do with feature back Reuben Droughns. They owe Droughns a $1.75 million roster bonus later this month.
Slowed by injuries, Droughns rushed for just 758 yards last season after gaining 1,232 yards in 2005 - the first Cleveland back to eclipse 1,000 yards since 1985.
Crennel recently said that he isn't dissatisfied with Droughns.
"He has shown us that he does have the ability, that he can be a productive runner for us," Crennel said. "I expect him to get back to that form that he had. That 1,200-yard form. That's what I'm looking for."

Adding Lewis gives the Browns more options as they plan for April's college draft. The club was believed to be targeting Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson with the No. 3 overall pick, but with Lewis on their roster, the club may be able to address other needs.
In 2003, Lewis rushed for 2,066 yards, the second-highest total in league history. Last season, he ran for 1,132 yards and nine touchdowns, but averaged just 3.6 yards per carry. Two years ago, Lewis served time in prison after a guilty plea to using a cell phone to set up a drug buy.

Stupidest pick up of the off season.

If it's insurance in case they somehow miss out on Adrian Peterson, it's not a bad signing at all.

PS. Stay the fuck away from Moss. He's gonna be a Packer.

The Patriots had better not pick up Moss. He COMPLETELY doesn't fit into their type of team, and his attiude is just not "Patriot-like". With the Packers, what could they possibly offer Oakland for him? Green Bay is such a young team, I don't think having a whiny veteran like Moss would set a good example for the team..

Dr. Giganto · 03-08-2007, 11:36 AM

I dont think it's a terrible signing by the Browns. It's only one year. If it doesn't work out, they won't have to cut him and take a cap hit or anything. And if he still ahs something left in the tank, he could help them out a lot.

Killswitch · 03-08-2007, 03:35 PM

I will always have fond memories of Jamal as he was an integral part of the Ravens Super Bowl team and he was amazing in 2003, but he has never been the same since he went to the pokey. I don't know why, but it's the truth. He was the weak link on the Ravens this season. He does not explode through defenders like he used to and he has zero breakaway speed. I can't see how he'll be any better on the Browns than he was for the Ravens. With that said, I'd rather not see him twice a year. He will be a one motivated SOB I am sure. I wish him well. If the Ravens land McGahee though, it is clearly an upgrade by them.

Dakstang · 03-08-2007, 04:24 PM

If Moss goes to a team with a good quarterback and they pass the ball to him like he says, he will be back to his old self again.

He hasn't had a quarterback really in the NFL that will pass to him. Randy Moss and Chad Pennington made an excellent team at Marshall University. And Moss was nearly unstoppable. When he went to the NFL, no one really wanted to pass to him. When you have Moss on your team, if you want to utilize him to the best of his abilities he HAS to be your go to guy. If you do that, he will win ball games for you. It's as simple as that.

The Ravens got McGahee in a steal....two third rounders and a 7th rounder
