HEY, TONY!
Your Browns questions answered


Got a Browns question? Send it in. Submit your question to cleveland.com/heytony, and Plain Dealer Browns beat writer Tony Grossi will choose several to answer each Sunday here in the sports section. All of Tony's answers are archived online.

Q:Hey, Tony: If Shaun Rogers is traded, could you please explain what the salary cap ramifications are, if any? - Tom Thomas, Palm Coast, Fla.

A:Hey, Tom: A trade of Rogers is not going to happen. The cap consequences would be severe, in the neighborhood of $9 million.

Q:Hey, Tony: Well, now it looks like the Browns need a receiver. Does this mean more playing time for Josh Cribbs at that position or do they have another hole to fill? - Frank Galas, Los Gatols, Calif.

A:Hey, Frank: I've asked Eric Mangini about Josh Cribbs a couple of times. He consistently says he wants to see in camp if Cribbs can be an all-around player, to touch the ball 10 to 15 times a game on offense and the same on defense. I believe his days as a full-time receiver are over.

Q:Hey, Tony: I saw an article on the Internet suggesting a trade between the Eagles and Browns where we give up Braylon Edwards and our [No.] 5 for Philly's 21st and 28th (and a conditional pick next year based on how Edwards performs). Philly would get the potential star receiver McNabb needs, plus a top left tackle, which they also need. Cleveland would get an extra first-round pick and avoid a holdout, which will probably happen with a No. 5 pick. I love this trade. What do you think, and do you feel it has any legs? - Joe Casteel, North Olmsted

A:Hey, Joe: While Philadelphia may express interest in Edwards, the trade you propose will not happen. The Eagles don't want the No. 5 pick. I don't know of any team that does, including the Browns.

Q:Hey, Tony: I like the idea of the Browns trading up from the fifth pick for USC linebackers Rey Maualuga and Clay Matthews III. Do you see this happening, and how? - Brandon Leggett, Akron

A:Hey, Brandon: Sounds good. Now, find a team that wants the fifth pick. I can't.

Q:Hey, Tony: Last year, I got a sick feeling about the season when I saw the schedule released with all the prime-time games, and I just knew the Browns were not up to it. This year, I'm getting the same feeling because of free-agent signings and Mangini's approach. So my question is, can we win this year with what you currently see? - Jack Wilson, Cortland, Ohio

A:Hey, Jack: Nobody can predict anything prior to the draft and training camp. Let's see what happens from now until August, at least. I wouldn't rule out anything in terms of wins and losses.

Q:Hey, Tony: Why aren't the Browns showing serious interest in Michael Crabtree? The Bengals, Raiders (yes, I know they like speedy WRs) and Jags need a WR, so what's the harm in showing interest to create a better possibility of trading down a few spots? There's no harm in trying, and it gives the Browns another possible option. - Matthew Koster, Charleston, S.C.

A:Hey, Matthew: Who's to say they aren't interested in Crabtree? I'm sure they are researching him along with about five or six other players for their first pick.

- Tony
