In case you still need convincing, Cleveland is still firmly a football town…for some ungodly, yet wonderfully satisfying reason. After all, when the offseason moves of a 5-11 team dominate media bandwidth, you know you’re dealing with a hardcore fan base. Having said all that, let’s take a deeper look at last night’s Kamerion Wimbley trade. But first, a final word on the quarterbacks – for now, at least.

Of all the sentences I imagined myself writing about the 2010 version of the Cleveland Browns, the least likely was “now starting for the Browns, Jake Delhomme.” Ok, that's not true. That's the second least likely. The most unlikely was “now entering the game at quarterback, Seneca Wallace.” Yet that's where the Browns now find themselves a week or so into free agency and still several weeks from the 2010 draft.

Dave Kolonich says to not read too much into yesterday’s signing of Jake Delhomme. Pure and simple, this was a case of a veteran quarterback who wasn’t going to find many starting jobs around the league meeting a team that features virtually no depth at the position. Under no circumstances should this move be viewed as something pre-meditated, as it’s clear that Delhomme and the Browns found each other at a most vulnerable spot. Could this be the football equivalent to a shotgun wedding? Dave touches on the Delhomme signing in his latest.

As the NFL gets into high gear during its free agency period, an iceberg lies directly in its path. The tip of that iceberg is this season’s lack of salary cap. Lying just below the surface are far bigger, more fundamental labor problems. Gary touches on that topic, the Browns signing of Ben Watson, and C.C. Sabathia in this week's edition of Lingering Items.
