From the Associated Press:

CLEVELAND Browns General Manager Phil Savage won't have many picks on draft day. He will, however, have a contract extension.

Savage and Cleveland owner Randy Lerner recently met and made progress toward an extension, which is expected to be completed before the April 26-27 draft.

As for the draft, the Browns don't have a pick until Sunday's fourth round. During a radio interview Thursday, Savage said it was unlikely that he would trade a player to move up in the draft.

"To go up and try to get into the first day, it would have to be a player who would be very attractive to us," Savage said. "I don't think it would involve certainly any players we have on our current roster. It would probably involve more picks for next year, something in the future."

Savage has earned an extension based solely on how he handled this offseason.
