Roye Released; How Tough Will it Be to Sign Anderson

Posted by Dan Taylor on February 28th, 2008 filed in News, Opinions

 

The Browns have just released Orpheus Roye. He signed with the Browns in 2000, played three positions and played for 3 different coaches. Roye is 35 and has played 12 seasons in the NFL. 8 seasons with the Browns. He has played in 174 games and started 128, although he only played in 13 last year and started only 6 in Cleveland. His best season was 2005 where he had 95 tackles.       

I just saw ESPN and they say it might be tough to sign Anderson. The Browns upped the contract offer to 3 years at $20 million, but with all the recent interest in DA, an average of $6.67 million may not be enough. Looks like the defensive line is still the biggest concern since they also chose not to hold on to Simon Fraser, who was a back up while here.

GO BROWNS!!!
