Brad Childress has agreed to terms to be Browns offensive coordinator. Has strong ties to that offense and coach Pat Shurmur.

I know this for sure -- on the night home from Philadelphia a little over two weeks ago - Offensive Coordinator Kyle Shanahan and his father, Mike, had a detailed conversation over Matt Flynn's performance against the Lions.

They were very impressed and pleased to see the results, despite not being able to witness the work. I am told that they have had other conversations about Flynn, and it would appear based on a few sources inside the organization that the Redskins are 'very interested' as one source described to me.

Of course, we shall see when 'rubber meets the road' and it comes down to contract time. I think the Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars, Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos and a few other teams could be in the mix.

Our ESPN 980 Front Office NFL Insider, J.I. Halsell expects a very modest contract for a potential NFL starter, because simply -- teams do not know how good Flynn will be as a starter, with limited experience.

Browns "wouldn't be adverse" to bringing Peyton Hillis back
Friday, January 13, 2012, 12:45pm

Browns GM Tom Heckert said he hasn’t talked to Peyton Hillis’ representatives since midseason but will do so “in the next week or so.” Hillis can hit the free agency market March 13.

“We wouldn’t be adverse to bringing him back,” Heckert said. “Now we have to see what else is available and what our plans are for our other free agents.”

Colt McCoy won't be handed starting job in 2012
Friday, January 6, 2012, 3:29pm

Perhaps the Browns’ ongoing quest for their franchise quarterback is their most important mission of the offseason. Team president Mike Holmgren said he’s not convinced quarterback Colt McCoy is the long-term answer.

“I’m not ready to anoint Colt yet,” Holmgren said. “Have I changed my mind? No. Do I love him? Yes, I do. But I love Seneca Wallace. We have three good quarterbacks, [including third-string player Thaddeus Lewis], I think on our team right now. Having said that, heck, we don’t know what’s gonna happen, and I had that conversation with Colt as well.”

This much is certain: Unlike last year, McCoy will not be handed a starting job.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger revealed that he re-injured his ankle against the Browns (via Mark Kaboly on Twitter): “I felt really good going into the Cleveland game. I don’t know if I caught it on the ground wrong or got hit we’ll see, we’ll be alright.”

Ben Roethlisberger to play limited snaps versus Browns
Wednesday, December 28, 2011, 11:08am

Dulac: "Steelers want Ben Roethlisberger to play about 25-30 snaps vs Browns. They don't want to go into playoffs w him missing last 2 games."

Ben Roethlisberger's status for the Steelers Week 17 game against the Browns is unclear at this time.

Steeler coach Mike Tomlin said he will wait to see how his quarterback feels when he returns to work. The Steelers had Sunday and Monday off, and today is their usual off day, although many players often report for treatment of injuries and to watch video.

Not playing Saturday against the Cleveland Browns aided the healing process for Billy Cundiff’s sore left calf, but the Ravens kicker is eager to return for Sunday’s regular-season finale at the Cincinnati Bengals.

"I’m definitely hoping to be back next week," Cundiff said. "Right now, it feels much better than it did last week, but that really doesn’t matter until we actually kick and see how it holds up."

Filling in for Cundiff, Shayne Graham connected on field goals of 48 and 43 yards and made two extra points. The only criticism is that he didn’t register a touchback – only the second time this season that the Ravens failed to post a touchback in a game.
