Wright out, Perry in
Posted May 15th, 2008 by Dan
As I kind of suspected, the Browns released cornerback Kenny Wright yesterday. Wright had two brushes with the law this offseason, and that's too much to bear, no matter the severity. After all, the Browns don't play in Cincinnati.
To fill Wright's spot on the roster, the team re-signed cornerback Jeremy Perry. The Eastern Michigan product played in 12 games for the Browns in 2006. He'll get a one-year deal. He was fairly impressive in a limited role. He'll never be more than a fourth cornerback, but he does a solid job and can play on special teams.
Personally, I'd rather have Perry anyway. He seems like a good guy. In fact, he and I were friends on social-networking site Facebook.com, which makes me seem incredibly lame. Wait, I am incredibly lame, who I am kidding?
Back to Perry… He played in just four games last season for the Miami Dolphins. Don't look into that too much. Last season the Dolphins had absolutely no idea what they were doing.
Notes…
John Czarnecki of Fox Sports writes that the Browns have improved enough to be a serious Super Bowl contender.
Mike McLain of the Tribune Chronicle writes about high confidence during OTAs this year. As a fan, you can't help but get excited about all the positive vibes this offseason. This kind of speculation really hasn't happened in more than a dozen years.
