I seriously doubt you'll see any "tampering" charges this yr...with all the delays there were in getting free agency going and all...most teams had alreayd had visits set up way before now, its pretty easy to guess they probably had deals in place as well

Givens had said all along he wanted to play for Crennel in Cleveland

He was listed as the #9 FA in this market.. on espn.. so I am guessing he was a FA not a cap cut earlier.

The Browns signed the Bay Village native and Ohio University graduate to a XX-year contract Saturday. Zastudil is expected to become the Browns' third punter in three years.

The Ravens drafted Zastudil in the fourth round in 2002; he replaced Kyle Richardson as the Ravens' punter, just as he's expected to do here. Zastudil has punted in 61 of 64 possible games, averaging 41.6 yards per punt.

His 43.5-yard average last season was a career best.

Zastudil, 27, missed three games in 2004 due to a shoulder injury but has been consistent and dependable otherwise. He was named to the Pro Football Weekly All-Rookie Team in 2002, set a Ravens record with a 67-yard punt in 2003, and - ironically - his 2004 punt against the Browns forced the Browns to start at their own 1-yard line, leading to the infamous Derrick Frost 7-yard punt and subsequent Ravens touchdown.

For his career, he's landed 89 punts inside the 20-yard line versus 32 touchbacks.

Zastudil was a football and baseball standout at Bay High School before heading to Ohio University, where he led the Mid-American Conference in punting four times. He graduated with a double major in finance and marketing.

Does this signing signal the departure from cleveland of Antonio "The Jersey Chucker" Bryant?

I think he was leaving anyway. But yes, I think he is gone for sure.

If your right cajun than this is a bad deal for the Browns, I think that Bryant will put it all together next year wherever he goes. Obviously Dallas and Cleveland are out.
