2007 Cleveland Browns
The 2007 Cleveland Browns season will begin with the Browns attempting to improve upon their 4–12 record from the 2006 season, in which the team finished in fourth place in the AFC North. The Browns will also attempt to overcome the many injuries that plagued the team throughout the 2006 season. The Browns will remain under the supervision of head coach Romeo Crennel and they will play all of their home games in Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.
During the 2007 NFL Draft, the Browns selected Wisconsin offensive tackle Joe Thomas with the third overall selection.[1] The Browns were also able to draft Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn with the 22nd overall selection,[2] after completing a trade with the Dallas Cowboys[2] which saw the Browns send their second-round pick in the 2007 draft, along with their first-round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, to the Cowboys for their first-round selection at number 22.[2] The Browns completed their first-day draft by selecting UNLV cornerback Eric Wright,[3] following another trade with the Dallas[3] which saw the Browns giving up their third- and fourth-round picks in the 2007 draft and swapping sixth-round picks with the Cowboys.[3]
During the off-season, the Browns signed key free agents Eric Steinbach (Cincinnati, offensive guard),[4][5] Jamal Lewis (Baltimore, running back),[6] and Robaire Smith (Tennessee, defensive end).[7]
[edit] Off-season
[edit] Coaching staff changes
The Cleveland Browns' offense was marred by bad play-calling throughout the early stages of the 2006 season, forcing the resignation of the team's offensive coordinator, Maurice Carthon, on October 24, 2006.[8] Following Carthon's resignation, head coach Romeo Crennel hired assistant head coach and offensive line coach Jeff Davidson as the team's offensive coordinator for the remainder of the 2006 season.[9] However, the Browns have since lost Davidson to the Carolina Panthers, where he was hired to serve as the Panthers' offensive coordinator.[10] Because of Davidson's hiring in Carolina, the Browns have hired Rob Chudzinski as the team's new offensive coordinator.[11] The team has also hired Ted Daisher as the team's new special teams coordinator.[12]
Other coaching staff changes made by the Browns in the 2007 off-season include the hiring of Steve Marshall as the offensive line coach;[13] Tom Myslinski as the strength-and-conditioning coach;[13] Alan DeGennaro as the assistant strength-and-conditioning coach;[13] Dave Atkins as the senior offensive assistant coach;[14] Anthony Lynn as the running backs coach;[14] Rip Scherer as the assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach;[14] and Alfredo Roberts as the tight ends coach.[15]
On June 14, defensive coordinator Todd Grantham's contract was extended by two years, allowing him to remain with the Browns through the 2009 season.[16]
[edit] Roster changes
The Cleveland Browns have had one of the busiest off-seasons in terms of movement in the NFL. Beginning on March 3, 2007, the Browns signed former Cincinnati Bengals offensive guard Eric Steinbach to a seven-year contract[4][5] and former Houston Texans outside linebacker Antwan Peek to a three-year contract;[17] the team also resigned center Hank Fraley to a four-year contract,[18] fearing that center LeCharles Bentley's 2006 season-ending knee injury may also be a career-ending injury.
The following day, March 4, the Browns signed former Washington Redskins cornerback Kenny Wright to a three-year contract.[19] One day later, on March 5, the Browns lost wide receiver and punt returner Dennis Northcutt to the Jacksonville Jaguars under the terms of a five-year contract.[20]
On March 8, the team signed former Baltimore Ravens running back Jamal Lewis to a one-year contract,[6] bolstering the team's lackluster running game. Because of Lewis's signing, running back Reuben Droughns had been made expendable,[21] and was subsequently traded to the New York Giants for wide receiver Tim Carter on March 9.[22]
Also on March 9, the Browns terminated the contract of veteran cornerback Daylon McCutcheon,[23] citing that he failed a physical, and lost safety Brian Russell to the Seattle Seahawks,[24] though the terms of Russell's deal were not disclosed.
Nearly a week later, on March 14, the Browns terminated the contract of fullback Terrelle Smith, prior to having to pay Smith a due roster bonus;[25][26] the team also signed former Miami Dolphins offensive guard Seth McKinney to a one-year contract[26][27] and former Tennessee Titans defensive end Robaire Smith to a four-year contract.[7] On March 16, the Browns signed former Bengals defensive tackle Shaun Smith to a four-year contract.[28] Four days later, on March 20, the team re-signed offensive guard Lennie Friedman to a one-year contract;[29] the team also lost defensive end Alvin McKinley to the Denver Broncos.[30]
On March 29, it was revealed that Browns general manager Phil Savage entered in to talks with the Kansas City Chiefs' general manager Carl Peterson regarding their veteran quarterback, Trent Green.[31] However, Green has since been traded to the Miami Dolphins.[32]
On April 2, the team signed former San Francisco 49ers safety Mike Adams to a two-year contract.[33] On April 14, the Browns re-signed veteran tight end Steve Heiden to a four-year contract extension,[34] though terms of his deal were not disclosed. On April 16, the Browns signed former Ravens fullback Alan Ricard to a one-year contract,[35] though terms of his deal were not disclosed; the team also formally announced the signing of former San Diego Chargers tight end Ryan Krause, though the date he was signed and the terms of his deal were not disclosed.[35] On April 19, the Browns re-signed defensive tackle Ethan Kelley to the terms of a one-year contract.[36]
On April 25, the Browns resigned free agents Simon Fraser and Mason Unck each to one-year contracts.[37] On April 27, the Browns resigned free agent offensive lineman Nat Dorsey to a one-year contract.[38] On May 2, the team waived offensive lineman Joe Andruzzi.[39] Following his release, Andruzzi was hospitalized with lymphoma.[40] The Browns release a statement wishing Andruzzi well,[41] though it is not known whether his ailment is the reason the Browns released Andruzzi.
On May 3, the Browns announced the signings of nine undrafted free agents.[42] Those players are: Jesse Ainsworth, a placekicker from Arizona State;[42] Charles Ali, a fullback from Arkansas (Pine Bluff);[42] Mike Alston, a linebacker from Toledo;[42] Rick Drushal, an offensive lineman from Wooster;[42] Hunter Funtaine, a linebacker from Vanderbilt;[42] Mike Mason, a wide receiver from Tennessee State;[42] Tyrone Moss, a halfback from Miami (Florida);[42] Brent Pousson, an offensive lineman from McNeese State;[42] and Scott Stephenson, an offensive lineman from Iowa State.[42] The team also signed three try-out rookies on May 8, signing linebacker Kevin Sears, offensive lineman Cliff Louis and running back Jerome Jackson.[43]
On June 17, the Browns waived cornerback Antonio Perkins, fullback Alan Ricard, and offensive linemen Brent Pousson and Scott Stephenson.[44] On June 26, the team waived safety Ben Emanuel and claimed former Tampa Bay Buccaneer wide receiver Efrem Hill from waivers.[45]
[edit] 2007 NFL Draft
Prior to the 2007 NFL Draft, the Browns were set to utilize either the third pick or fourth pick of the first round.[46] This discrepancy was due to the fact that the Browns and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had similar records and strength-of-schedule averages.[47] After the coin toss, it was determined that the Browns will use the third pick of the draft.[48] The 2007 NFL Draft was held on April 28 and 29, 2007 in New York City, New York.[47]

The Cleveland Browns had one of the best first-day drafts of any team.[49] The Browns selected Wisconsin offensive tackle Joe Thomas with the third overall pick of the draft,[1] after many had predicted that the Browns would select Notre Dame quarterback Brady QuinnTemplate:Fact or Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson.Template:Fact However, the Browns selected Quinn with the 22nd selection of the draft,[2] following a trade with the Dallas Cowboys[2] which saw the Browns send their second-round pick of the 2007 draft and their first-round pick of the 2008 NFL Draft to the Cowboys for their first-round pick at number 22.[2] During the second round of the draft, the Browns made another trade with the Cowboys,[3] this time using the selection to pick UNLV cornerback Eric Wright.[3] The Browns gave up their third- and fourth-round picks of the draft, and swapped their sixth-round pick with the Cowboys.[3]
On the second day of the draft, the Browns looked to fill holes which were left by departing players through free agency. In the fifth round, the Browns drafted Memphis cornerback Brandon McDonald;[50] in the sixth round, the Browns drafted Hawaii defensive end Melila Purcell;[51] and in the seventh round, the Browns drafted LSU defensive end Chase Pittman[52] and Arizona wide receiver Syndric Steptoe.[52]
On July 18, the Browns signed the first of their seven draft picks, signing Pittman to a four-year contract.[53] On July 22, the Browns signed three more draft picks, this time singing McDonald, Purcell and Steptoe each to four-year contracts.[54] Steptoe is likely to compete to be the team's starting punt-returner heading into the 2007 season.[52] On July 26, the Browns signed Thomas to a six-year contract (voidable after five years)[55] and Wright to a four-year contract.[55] Thomas and Wright will look to battle to become the starters at left tackle and cornerback respectively.[55]
Until August 7, the Browns and Quinn could not agree on a contract, and the quarterback missed nearly two weeks of training camp. The parties then agreed, in principle,[56] to a contract. Hours later, the team and Quinn finalized the contract, and Quinn signed with the team under the terms of a five-year contract.[56] The contract is worth $20 million.[57]

[edit] Game summary
The Cleveland Browns opened the regular season at home in Cleveland Browns Stadium against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who entered the game under the direction of the team's new head coach, Mike Tomlin. The two teams were tied in their overall series with 55 wins apiece. However, the Browns' ended the day with a loss to the Steelers, 7–34.
The Browns couldn't get anything going on their first drive, being forced to punt by the Steelers' defense. However, on the punt attempt, Paul Ernster fumbled the snap before getting the punt away. During the play, the Browns were flagged for four penalties, which gave the Steelers great field position for their first drive, starting at the Browns' 22-yard line, which was capped by a 5-yard touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger to Hines Ward. On the Browns' ensuing possession, Charlie Frye threw an interception to Deshea Townsend, which eventually led to the Steelers' second score of the game, a 26-yard field goal by Jeff Reed. After the Browns took the field for their next offensive possession, Jamal Lewis fumbled the ball at the Browns' 40-yard line. Once the Steelers took the field, it only took seven seconds for Roethlisberger to hit Santonio Holmes for a 40-yard touchdown pass to put the Steelers up 17–0. After being sacked five times and throwing for only 34 yards on 4-of-10 passing, Frye was removed from the game and was replaced by second-string quarterback Derek Anderson. In the second quarter, Willie Parker fumbled the ball and gave the Browns possession. However, the team was forced to punt, and just two drives later, the Browns fumbled the ball again — this time on a sack by Ryan Clark of Anderson. The Browns were able to hold the Steelers scoreless through the second quarter as Roethlisberger failed to connect on his last six pass attempts of the quarter. However, the Steelers also held the Browns scoreless, and the teams entered halftime with the Steelers ahead 17–0.
The second half began excellently for the Steelers, as Roethlisberger marched his team 71 yards down the field on eight plays, capping the drive off with a 5-yard touchdown pass to rookie Matt Spaeth. The Browns would finally have an answer on their first possession of the second half, marching 76 yards down the field on seven plays, which ended with a one-yard touchdown pass from Anderson to second-year fullback Lawrence Vickers, cutting the deficit to 24–7. However, this would be the Browns' only score of the game. On the next drive, the Steelers and Roethlisberger answered with a 22-yard touchdown pass to Heath Miller, giving the Steelers a 24–7 advantage. The Browns punted on their next possession, and the Steelers chewed up eight minutes on their next drive, leading the team into the fourth quarter, which led to a 31-yard field goal by Reed, giving the Steelers a 34–7 lead which they never surrendered. On the Browns' next offensive possession, Braylon Edwards dropped a pass from Anderson which was ruled a fumble. Following a Steelers punt, Anderson threw an interception to Ike Taylor on a pass intended for Edwards, and Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch ran the clock out, securing the win.
With the loss, the Browns opened their season disappointingly with an 0–1 record, and allowed the Steelers to take a one-game lead in the overall series, 56 wins to 55. Following the game, head coach Romeo Crennel stated that he didn't know who would start at quarterback in the next game versus the Cincinnati Bengals.[60] He also stood by his decision not to insert rookie Brady Quinn into the game, even after chants were heard from the home crowd hoping otherwise.[60]
On Tuesday, 2007-09-11, the Browns traded Frye, who was expected to start against the Bengals in week two, to the Seattle Seahawks for a sixth-round draft choice.[61] The team's general manager, Phil Savage, stated that Anderson was to be named the team's new starting quarterback, with Quinn moving up the depth chart to be Anderson's backup.[62] The Browns also re-signed Ken Dorsey, whom the team had cut just ten days earlier, to be the team's third-string quarterback and mentor to Quinn.[61]
