according to this hurney was at the browns/packers game scouting one of the browns DTs. sounds like he listened to beason...

sry if this has been posted, i looked and didn't see anything about it

Questions is... What would we give up for him? Linebacker? Draft Picks?

I believe a 3rd rounder could get him.

Or maybe a 4th rounder and James Anderson.

yeah heard they was looking at the williams guy....i remembered when he played up at GB and he was pretty good there....worth a 5 or 6th rounder

[WolfPack]

Heard that this morning too, we could definitely use someone like that. Not sure what we would be able to give the Browns in exchange though.

not just the browns but the packers too

I was just about to post the same thing and according to the observer he was out to scout Corey Williams. I am extremely excited about this kid after I did a little research on him. He played at Green Bay in 07 and 06 and was an absolute beast. He had 7 sacks both years and Green Bay used the franchise tag on him after the 07 season then traded him to the Browns. He flopped with the Browns but only because he had to switch to a DE in the 3-4 and he also a a shoulder injury. He is listed at 6-4 324lbs although I think he slimmed down a little to play that DE spot, I've heard he was down to 310, he is also 28 years old and can play either DT position in the 4-3 system. Word is that Mangenius doesn't care for him because he doesn't fit well in the 3-4 and they would be willing to part with him.

If Williams could get back in the 4-3 with Peppers, Johnson, Brown, Brayton, and Lewis then I think he could get back to the 45 tackle 7 sack seasons he had with Green Bay. Oh and don't forget the quality linebackers he would be protecting, Beason could run around again and make a ton of plays. Can you imagine the impact he would have on this defense, how drastically we would improve overnight??? I'm telling you, if Hurney can pull this off it could potentially be even better than the Chris Harris trade. I would be willing to part with a 4th or 5th rounder for this guy.

Let's get him.

I believe it's going to take more than a 4th 5th or 6th rounder. The Browns know we are in desperate need of a quality DT. I love Beason, but his comments didn't help any.

His sister is ugly so I dont know about this.

True but that's probably who they were looking at. I just don't know what we can give up to get him. I really like the guys we've got on the roster and I'm sure Hurnery does too, so it most certainly has to be a draft pick but a 3rd seems a little high for guy we are not sure could help right away.

[PantherBrew]

4th and James Anderson.

[OneBadassCat]

4th and James Anderson.

I could take that, but do the Browns need LB help?

Thats a very good point. I couldn't find it anywhere else except Charlotte Observer, not even on the cleveland news paper mentione in the report. Williams didn't start against the Packers and only played about 3 plays on the first couple series. Not sure if it is him but I guess he makes the most sense out of anybody. I wish the Observer would follow up with their freakin story. Anyways, a 4th or 5th round pick for a backup who they might release anyways is a pretty fair deal I would say.
