i was kinda iffy on hood, but a fan on this board really like him;

but thats what you do, you watch the waiver wire, you might find a player or two, thats what the cowboys did in 1975 when they acquired preston pearson from the steelers on waiver wire for $100.

Louis Leonard is a load at NT. I wonder what the Panthers gave up for him.

I don't even remember releasing Bollinger. Though I knew he wasn't on our team anymore. Quite the experiment he was.

Dawgsbynature (browns blogger)wasn't that high on him

A few weeks ago, a rumor circulated the Internet that the Carolina Panthers were scouting Browns defensive lineman Corey Williams. It wasn't Williams that we gave them though, as the Browns traded DT Louis Leonard to the Panthers for an undisclosed draft pick, according to the Herald Online. If you recall, Leonard had an outburst at defensive line coach Bryan Cox a week or so ago, leading many to question whether or not he would stay in Cleveland. However, even if he didn't have the outburst, his roster odds were slim at best.
Trading Leonard means that the Browns are comfortable with Shaun Rogers and Ahtyba Rubin at the nose tackle position, and that they are willing to give Corey Williams a shot at redemption in the 3-4 defensive scheme.
Just pure speculation here, but I can't imagine that Leonard would yield anything higher than a seventh-round draft pick.
As an update to yesterday's story, the OBR is reporting that OL Ryan Tucker was not released, but rather placed on the Injured Reserve. Same difference.

Denver Broncos Blake Schlueter cut

Didn't we have him in for a pre-draft visit?

Kansas City Chiefs Alfonso Boone cut

Alfonso Boone is a widebody who did pretty well for the Bears a few years ago.

For whatever reason, Phillips is putting his neck on the line for Siavii.

Muchos gracias speedkillz! Louis Leonard was always a knuckle head as well as an underachiever, those were his biggest knocks coming out of school.


I also recall that there were some pretty high on Center Blake Scheuler this past draft. Tough guy but kind of slight for our OL scheme, maybe he can bulk up on our PS.

Schlueter is a TCU center, so he probably was visiting on the Cowboys local visit day.
