Cleveland Browns extend LB Chris Gocong three…

BEREA — The pen of Browns GM Tom Heckert has struck again.

Heckert has signed linebacker Chris Gocong to a three-year contract extension. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the deal to be worth $16.8 million.

Gocong, 27, was drafted in the third round by Philadelphia in 2003 when Heckert was Eagles vice president of player personnel. Heckert traded for Gocong in his first season as Browns general manager last year. The deal also brought cornerback Sheldon Brown in exchange for linebacker Alex Hall and fourth- and fifth-round draft picks in 2010.

Gocong missed most of training camp with a neck stinger. But he has played every game once the season started. He shared a sack in the Miami game and added two quarterback hurries.

Gocong is the fourth core player to receive a contract extension this year by the Browns. The others were left tackle Joe Thomas, tight end Evan Moore and defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin.

The Browns also are trying to extend the contract of running back Peyton Hillis.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns, 14-34 the last three seasons, are counting on the improvement of their young players and the NFL draft to build toward contender status.

There is no reason, for now, to dismiss that strategy.

Regardless, the signing period — which followed the end of the lockout — for unrestricted veteran free agents has so far netted the Browns nothing.

USAToday.com, on it Cleveland Browns Team Report, notes:

That wild and frenzied signing time in free agency between the end of the lockout and the start of training camp netted the Browns just one player for 2011 – safety Usama Young, and he missed the entire preseason with a hamstring injury.

Running back Brandon Jackson (turf toe), the other unrestricted free agent signed before the start of training camp, was placed on injured reserve Saturday when the Browns trimmed their roster to 53 players.

The Browns open their 59th NFL season next Sunday, when they play their AFC North Division rival Cincinnati Bengals at Browns Stadium.

Cleveland Browns Roster Cuts: Browns Must Get To…

Cleveland Browns need to begin roster cuts on Tuesday enroute to 53-man roster on Saturday.

Aug 29, 2011 – With three preseason games in the books, the Cleveland Browns now begin the task of cutting their roster down to 80 by August 30th, before the massive cut to 53 by September 3rd. The Browns play their final preseason game of 2011 on Thursday night in Chicago.

The NFL changed the rules a bit in 2011 following the Lockout. They allowed teams to carry 90 players during Training Camp, then, instead of the normal first cut to 75, allowed teams to keep 5 extra players after Tuesday’s first cut until the final cut on Saturday.

More than just rosters, the NFL has also updated their game-day active rosters, going from 45 to 46. This changes essentially ends the era of ‘emergency quarterbacks’. In the past, the 3rd quarterback was actually inactive, but could dress in uniform and come into the game in an emergency. Now, teams do not have to name a 3rd quarterback and any quarterback on the active roster can come into the game at any time.

We’ll keep you up to date of any roster moves the Browns make over the next several days.

Cleveland Browns trade 5th round pick in 2012 for…

NourlfutSor — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 02:59:25 +0000

BEREA, Ohio — The Browns today traded a fifth-round pick in 2012 for defensive tackle Broderick Bunkley, the Eagles announced.

Bunkley was a originally a first-round pick — No. 14 overall — out of Florida State in 2006. He was known primarily as a run-stopper in Philadelphia and was credited with dramatically improving the Eagles’ run defense after he cracked the starting lineup in 2007.

He was a full-time starter in from 2007-09, but started only five of his 14 games last season in part because of a nagging arm injury. Bunkley was picked by the Eagles in current Browns GM Tom Heckert’s first season as general manager there.

The Browns made the trade on the same day that rookie defensive tackle Phil Taylor, the No. 21 overall pick, held out of the first day of training camp in a contract dispute. The two sides continued to negotiate on Saturday.

Bunkley (6-2, 306) will work inside along with Taylor and Ahytba Rubin and most likely be part of a rotation. During his five seasons in Philadelphia, he totaled 262 tackles — 146 solo — and six sacks.

That’s all for today guys, i’ll be back to blog you tomorrow.

NFL Free Agency: Cleveland Browns Bringing In…

Berea prepares for Cleveland Browns training camp,…

autobeestan — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 20:33:40 +0000

BEREA – The four-month NFL lockout did not shut down the city’s need to prepare for the Cleveland Browns training camp.

“We know what we need to do and have already done some of those things,” said R. James Brown, the city’s service director.

Negotiation talks continued this week with team owners and the NFL Players Association. This week a U.S. magistrate judge entered the talks. The lockout began March 12. The Browns first game is set for Sept. 11 in Cleveland against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Training Camp historically begins at the end of July. Last year the camp started July 31.

According to a Cleveland Browns spokesperson, the organization will not release training camp dates until they are firm, and that is “dependent” upon the “resolution of the labor situation.”

Brown said he is “confident” the lockout will end this week.

“We will probably get a call as soon as possible from the Browns. We are ready for them and the camp,” Brown said. “I am a huge fan of the training camp. We are the only city in Ohio that hosts a training camp. Cincinnati goes to Kentucky.”

The city owns the Browns facility in Berea. Brown said the city paints the striping in the facility’s parking lots and refresh the crosswalk on Lou Groza Blvd. as well.

“We are in the process of doing that right now,” he said Monday. “Most of it is already completed.”

The Browns provide banners that the service department hang on Bagley Road, Beech Street and other localized areas.

The Front Street overpass, which opened in November, has poles to hold the banners, if needed.

“We’ve had conversation about that,” Brown said. “This year is the first time we are able to use Front Street in quite a while. It will be neat to see traffic coming over and entering the city for the camp.”

A major change this year is the reconstruction of Beech Street between Bagley Road and East Fifth Avenue. Camp visitors often use Beech Street north of Bagley to park in the Baldwin-Wallace College’s Kleist parking lot as well as walk down its short length to the camp’s gate. That stretch of Beech Street is expected to be completed Aug. 17.

Brown said the contracting company must provide some type of access for pedestrians should the camp occur while that portion of Beech Street is closed to traffic.

“Whether is a gravel walkway or allow them to go on the grass, they will have something to make it safe to walk,” Brown said.

Karen Husak, B-W’s director of parking services, said the college gladly permits training camp visitors to use its lots.

“We allow use of our lots as long as camp runs and school is not in session,” she said.

Husak also said Kleist parking lot will be available for parking but traffic must enter through its Bagley Road access, not the one on Beech Street, which is under construction.

‘We are preparing for training camp as well,” she said. “We gladly allow use of our parking lots as long as training camp runs, provided school is not in session.”

B-W’s first day of fall classes is Aug. 29. Husak said the lots are available for training camp until Aug. 24.

The city will post signs on streets around the training camp entrance, such as Third, Fifth and Beech, saying parking is for residents only. Those who live in these area receive stickers from the Browns organization to place on their windshield showing permission to park on the street.

Brown said he enjoys the thrill of training camp.

“We stand alone in Ohio in providing a summer training camp for a professional sports team,” he said. “I think it’s a big deal. And we want others to know how important and thrilling this is to our city.”

Cleveland Browns 2010 Training Camp: Injuries Providing Opportunities

HotelBeachResorts — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 12:10:03 +0000

The biggest news coming out of Berea this week seems to be the rash of injuries that has plagued the Cleveland Browns thus far in training camp. To date, RB Montario Hardesty, CB Eric Wright, LB D’Qwell Jackson, LB Marcus Benard, DL Brian Schaefering, and OL Joel Reinders have suffered injuries serious enough to at least miss significant time during training camp and pre-season
