FRYE TRADED
WTAM radio in Cleveland reports that the Browns have traded quarterback Charlie Frye to an unnamed team.
Because WTAM is the Browns' flagship radio station, the news is being regarded in media circles are legit. Per WTAM, Frye is being traded to make room for Ken Dorsey.
Earlier on Tuesday, a league source told us that Frye was "definitely not out" in Cleveland. Apparently, "definitely" doesn't mean what our source thought it meant.

NO FRYE TRADE YET
WTAM has altered its report regarding Browns quarterback Charlie Frye. Earlier in the day, WTAM reported that Frye has been traded to an unnamed team. Now, WTAM reports that the Browns are merely trying to trade Frye.
Per the new report, Frye will be cut if he's not traded.
The speed with which Frye has gone from starter to reject highlights, in our view, the pressure that coach Romeo Crennel and G.M. Phil Savage are facing. Frye didn't even get a full half to prove himself.
Our guess is that the Browns initially floated the "Charlie is already traded" story in the hopes of smoking an interested suitor out of the weeds. Apparently, it didn't work.
Frye, a third-round draft pick in 2005, generated plenty of hype as a rookie. But his performance never matched the perceived potential.
He is signed through 2008, at salaries of $435,000 in 2007 and $465,000 in 2008. Since he is not a vested veteran, he can be released without the Browns potentially owing him the rest of his 2007 base pay.

Jay Glazer of FOX reports that the Cleveland Browns have traded quarterback Charlie Frye to the Seattle Seahawks.
Terms of the deal are not yet known.
On Tuesday morning, the Seahawks acquired an extra draft pick via the trade of defensive end Bryce Fisher to the Titans. Maybe that pick was sent to Cleveland for Frye.
The Seahawks previously were linked to quarterbacks Kelly Holcomb, who was traded from Philly to Minnesota, and Mark Burnell, who remains with the Commanders.
The addition of Frye could allow the Seahawks to incorporate Seneca Wallace more heavily into game-day preparations at the receiver position, with the ability to make Wallace the interim starter if Matt Hasselbeck suffers a multi-week injury. Under that approach, Frye would be the in-game backup. However, this would prevent the Seahawks from making Wallace or Hasselbeck the extra "emergency" quarterback that is not part of the 45-man pool of active playerson game days.
