Browns Bits

Jim Brown is pissed at Ruben Droughns for holding out for a contract.
"Emphatically, I would never advise a player to do what he's done," Brown said after the morning minicamp practice. "I think an agent is incorrect because the opportunity to come to a new situation and maybe challenge for the starting job is much more important than the money he won't get this year."
Brown is being used by the team to help teach players about life in the NFL and give them advice. He's also the first one from the organization to coment on the hold out. And I think it's good that Brown is the first guy, because any criticism coming from a hall of famer is going to sting a little more than from a suit.

Also, Simon Fraser seems to be impressing at the Browns mini-camp. Says Romeo:
"This week, he's in the defensive meeting room watching film. That's a sign that the guy is motivated. In drills, he's leading the defensive linemen. His size also . . . things like that catch your eye."


Honestly, I was surprised that Fraser wasn't picked in the 7 rounds of the draft, and I think he could play for a while in the pros if he gets into the right situation.
