He is a shadow of what he used to be. He can no longer get the separation that made his career. The fans here are just obsessed with signing a WR and will take any name out there, even though there are more pressing needs on offense.

You would be better off with Kelly Washington - short money and he can handle returns.

WR is not a priority by far... as of this Friday, they will have no starting offensive tackles on the team, both are free agents, no starting tight end and no #2 running back.

In more than a few ways, the addition of Coles to the Dolphins' roster would make sense, and Pennington will surely be in Parcells' ear to convince him of the reasons Parcells drafted Coles in the first place.

But Coles, who is a fearless player, wouldn't be considered a deep threat. Instead, his presence as an exceptional over-the-middle receiver could still potentially allow Ted Ginn Jr. to become less pressured on his downfield routes.

The new regime of the Cleveland Browns made its first major move this offseason by trading former Pro Bowl tight end Kellen Winslow on Friday for undisclosed draft picks. Winslow, a first-round pick in 2004, played in 44 games and recorded 219 receptions for 2,459 yards and 11 touchdowns. The Browns are starting over with their roster under a new head coach in Eric Mangini and a new general manager in George Kokinis.

"The Cleveland Browns thank Kellen for his contributions to this organization over the past five years," Kokinis said in a statement. "We appreciate his passion for the game and wish him success in Tampa Bay.

"The draft picks we have obtained through this deal will give us greater flexibility as we look to infuse more talent and create competition and depth on this football team." Cleveland has two tight ends left under contract in backups Martin Rucker and Steve Heiden.
