Surprised that Cleveland hasn't tagged Dawson. That can't be a big figure and it's one less problem you got to worry about during the offseason.

Great move. He deserves it but I wouldn't want to tie him into a long term contract.

One less problem the team needs to address.

I agree, it's one of those positions that you take for granted until they're gone. Glad we don't have a Nick Folk to worry about next year.

Good deal..Phil is great.. he deserves to go out making some nice coin.. I say sign him to a 2 year deal and then put him out to pasture. Draft a kicker at the end of the draft NEXT year or pick up a guy to work with him on the practice squad to learn how to kick in our stadium.

Browns | Seneca Wallace could be No. 2 QB
Thu, 24 Feb 2011 06:22:28 -0800
The Cleveland Browns are likely to choose between QB Jake Delhomme and QB Seneca Wallace for the No. 2 quarterback job behind QB Colt McCoy, according to Tony Grossi, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Delhomme is under contract for 2011 for $5.4 million. Wallace is unsigned and has expressed a desire to compete for a starting job. Team president Mike Holmgren conceded that Wallace may fit better in head coach Pat Shurmur's offense because of his past exposure to the West Coast offense. "That decision honestly hasn't been made yet," Holmgren said. "Some of it has to do clearly with Jake's contract."
