Check here and here for a complete list of the Cleveland Browns’ roster moves.

Surprise moves: I may be on an island with this one, but I thought offensive tackle Branndon Braxton had a chance to make the team. Braxton is raw, but the Browns are thin on the offensive line. They could have taken on a project. Braxton has good size and decent feet.

Cleveland also released third-string quarterback Jarrett Brown. He had the strongest arm on the team and showed flashes. The Browns are hoping to get him back on the practice squad.

Terminating the contract of Demetrius Williams was a mild surprise. The former Baltimore Raven is experienced and made a few plays in camp. But it wasn’t enough to take playing time away from youngsters like rookie receiver Greg Little.

No-brainers: Cornerback Coye Francies is a 2009 draft pick under former coach Eric Mangini who barely hung onto a roster spot for two years. But with the coaching change, you had the sense Francies’ days were numbered. He was released.

There was only one tailback spot open behind Peyton Hillis and Montario Hardesty. Armond Smith beat out Quinn Porter in a close race that came down to the final preseason game.

Tailback Brandon Jackson (toe) also was put on injured reserve. Jackson, a free-agent pickup from the Green Bay Packers, will be out for the season.

What’s next: The Browns will scan the waiver wires in search of depth. The preseason proved depth is desperately needed at several positions, particularly on the offensive line. Cleveland’s backups have been thoroughly outplayed in exhibition games. This team isn’t built to sustain many injuries.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — As we were saying before being rudely interrupted by the NFL labor dispute, yes, the Browns have a lot of work to do on their roster.

General Manager Tom Heckert has to: 1. re-sign the team’s free agents he wants to keep, 2. sign at least a dozen undrafted free agents, 3. execute some trades, 4. sign the team’s eight rookie draft picks, and 5. sign some starting-caliber veteran free agents.

At various times during the four-month-old lockout, the Browns have said they won’t be “crazy” in free agency, but they swear they will act aggressively.

On Saturday, Browns President Mike Holmgren said, “The one thing we’ve been able to do prior to the lockout and during the lockout . . . Tom Heckert and personnel people . . . we’ve been in endless meetings, so that when they actually lift the curtain, we’ll hit the ground running.”

The NFL released the official lists of unrestricted and restricted free agents on Monday. The Browns have 15 unrestricted free agents on their roster. They also declined to make qualifying offers to third-year players Blake Costanzo and Titus Adams.

The first three tasks take on more immediate priority. To sort things out, here’s a recap of where the Browns’ roster stands and what needs to be done.

Quarterbacks

Projected starter: Colt McCoy.

Others under contract: Seneca Wallace, Jake Delhomme, Jarrett Brown.

To do: Delhomme’s scheduled $5.4 million 2011 salary might make it hard to trade him unless he agrees to rework his contract. Ideally, a young, developmental quarterback would be found to fill the No. 3 role.

Running backs

Projected starters: Peyton Hillis, Montario Hardesty.

Others under contract: Tyler Clutts, Quinn Porter.

Unsigned: Owen Marecic (r), Mike Bell, Lawrence Vickers.

To do: Any back has to be an accomplished pass catcher. They could seek a third-down back who specializes in the passing game.

Wide receivers

Projected starters: Josh Cribbs, Mohamed Massaquoi, Brian Robiskie.

Others under contract: Johnathan Haggerty, Carlton Mitchell, Jordan Norwood, Demetrius Williams, Rod Windsor.

Unsigned: Greg Little (r), Chansi Stuckey.

To do: If they add one in free agency, he should be a true No. 1 and not a player just to join the mix. Examine whether Cribbs should play in the slot or in the backfield.

Tight ends

Projected starter: Ben Watson.

Others under contract: Tyson DeVree.

Unsigned: Jordan Cameron (r), Evan Moore, Alex Smith, Greg Estandia.

To do: Moore is a restricted free agent and must be re-signed.

Offensive line

Projected starters: Joe Thomas, Eric Steinbach, Alex Mack, Shawn Lauvao, Tony Pashos.

Others under contract: Branndon Braxton, Pat Murray, Phil Trautwein, Steve Vallos.

Unsigned: Jason Pinkston (r), Floyd Womack, Billy Yates.

To do: If Pashos reports to camp fully recovered from his season-ending ankle injury, don’t expect a starting-caliber new player to be added. Re-signing Womack and/or Yates seems prudent, since both can swing to two positions.

Defensive line

Projected starter: Ahtyba Rubin.

Others under contract: Travis Ivey, Scott Paxson, Ko Quaye, Brian Sanford, Brian Schaefering.

Unsigned: Titus Adams, Jayme Mitchell, Derreck Robinson, Jabaal Sheard (r), Robaire Smith, Phil Taylor (r).

To do: Much. They want to re-sign Mitchell to man the left end spot. When signed, Taylor (left tackle) and Sheard (right end) have to be force-fed immediately. There are more bodies under contract at the tackle position, so at least two ends have to be signed.

Linebackers

Projected starters: Scott Fujita, D’Qwell Jackson, Chris Gocong.

Others under contract: Eric Alexander, Marcus Benard, Titus Brown, Auston English, Kaluka Maiava, Steve Octavien.

Unsigned: Blake Costanzo, Matt Roth, Jason Trusnik.

To do: Jackson’s torn pectoral muscles are said to be back to normal, but team has to protect itself with a middle linebacker to compete as a starter. Benard’s role has to be defined early. Is he a full-time linebacker, a full-time end or just a situational rusher?

Cornerbacks

Projected starters: Sheldon Brown, Joe Haden.

Others under contract: Coye Francies, Ramzee Robinson.

Unsigned: Buster Skrine (r), Eric Wright.

To do: Wright must be re-signed and another veteran acquired. If Wright leaves in free agency, they have to sign two cornerbacks.

Safeties

Projected starter: T.J. Ward.

Others under contract: Mike Adams, Sabby Piscitelli, DeAngelo Smith.

Unsigned: Abram Elam, Eric Hagg (r), Nick Sorensen, Ray Ventrone.

To do: Sign a starting free safety, enabling Adams to swing to corner or safety in sub packages.

Specialists

Projected starters: Reggie Hodges, Ryan Pontbriand.

Unsigned: Phil Dawson.

To do: Mend differences with Dawson on a new contract. He never signed his franchise tender and had mentally and emotionally counted on leaving in free agency.

Austin, Texas — Browns defensive end Robaire Smith, who will be an unrestricted free agent when the lockout ends, is participating fully in the full-squad lockout camp here after recovering in February from a bruised spine.

“[Browns linebacker] Scott [Fujita] reached out to me a couple of weeks ago and asked me to come down and be a part of it, which I thought was great,” said Smith. “I told him most definitely I’d be there for him, especially coming from a guy like Scott. It meant a lot to me personally. There was no way I was going to turn this down, an opportunity to come here and work out with these guys.”

Smith, heading into his 12th season, said he’d love to re-sign with the Browns if they’re interested.

“It’s something I’m shooting for and that I’d love to do,” he said. “[General Manager] Tom Heckert said before the lockout that they’d be interested, but they were waiting to see my medical report. It came out right before the lockout, so there wasn’t too much they could say then.”

Smith said his neck and spine specialist, Dr. Robert Watkins, cleared him for full football activity in March and that he’s been working out hard, even playing in a soccer league. Smith, 33, went on injured reserve in October with the back injury after playing in only five games.

When then-coach Eric Mangini said in a news conference that Smith would have some decisions to make about his future, there was speculation it could be the end of his career.

“It was amazing the way people made it out to be more than what it was,” Smith said. “It kind of had me a little upset at first. My doctor never thought it was a big deal right from the start, and I went to three or four people, and they told me the same thing.”

The time off, though, has been a gift.

“I feel better than I’ve ever felt, even coming off my Achilles injury [in 2009],” he said. “My body is just fully, fully recovered. I’m rested, and I feel like a new person. I didn’t play those first couple of years in the league, so I have a lot left.”

He said he would welcome a chance to play again in the 4-3, which he played for five seasons in Tennessee.

“I think I’m more of a defensive tackle, but I can also play end,” he said. “The 4-3 is a little more hit the gaps. I like it.”

He also likes coach Pat Shurmur, who was tight ends coach at Michigan State when Smith played there.

“He’s a very good coach,” said Smith, who drove 160 miles here from his home in Houston. “The players are going to like him.”

Camp Colt IV: The full-squad session kicked off Sunday night with a team dinner at a resort in Austin, and then the players will have two days of practice, film study, meetings and workouts. As many as 40 players were expected to attend. It marks the first time this off-season that the defensive players are getting together. “It’s great to see everybody again,” said defensive back DeAngelo Smith. “It’ll be good to get the backpedaling going again and just get out there and get that feel back.” . . . Cornerback Coye Francies drove two days from California to attend the camp.

CLEVELAND (AP) – The Cleveland Browns have signed defensive back Coye Francies to their active roster. The team also waived defensive back Eric King and signed linebacker Eric Bakhtiari to the practice squad.

Francies has been on the Browns’ practice squad for two weeks. Drafted by Cleveland in the sixth round last year, Francies appeared in six games as a rookie. The Browns waived him on Sept. 3. He moved on to the UFL’s Las Vegas Locomotives.

Bakhtiari spent time on practice squads in San Diego, San Francisco, Tampa Bay and Tennessee during the 2008-09 seasons. He was signed to the Titans’ active roster on Dec. 12, 2009, playing in three games. He was waived Sept. 4.
