Cleveland Browns 02/11/2008 5:30 PMThe Dayton Daily News reports the Cleveland Browns offense had some major success throwing the ball this past season finishing the year ranked No. 12 in passing with three members of the receiving corp WR Braylon Edwards, TE Kellen Winslow and KR/WR Joshua Cribbs earning trips to the Pro Bowl. Cribbs earned the trip in large part for his contribution on special-teams. Although the Browns have one of the most feared receiving corps in the league there is still room for improvement and that comes at the slot receiver position. The Tim Carter experience could be over after one season and 2006 third-round pick WR Travis Wilson has spent more time on the sideline than on the playing field. The Browns are expected to address the slot position via the draft. InsertWakeForest WR Kenny Moore.Read more

New York Giants 02/07/2008 8:31 AMThe Star-Ledger reports Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo spent all of yesterday meeting with Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder and executive vice president of football operations Vinny Cerato in Virginia. As of last night, there was no word if Snyder and Cerato had offered Spagnuolo the Redskins' vacant head-coaching job. Spagnuolo arrived in the D.C. area Tuesday night after joining the Giants in their Super Bowl parade in Manhattan and the afternoon rally at Giants Stadium. The first-year coordinator spent about seven hours meeting with Snyder and Cerato before spending the night in one of Snyder's guest houses. Yesterday, the two sides began talking at about 8 a.m. Almost 12 hours later, the meeting was still ongoing. Even for the Redskins, whose recent interviews with prospective coaches have lasted more than 10 hours, the length of this interview was somewhat surprising.Read more
