ESPN Insider is reporting that the Dolphins have shown some interest in signing Tim Couch. Six NFL teams have expressed interest in Couch, with the Giants rumored to be the most interested.

This might be true, but until Couch demonstrates that his arm is healthy and that he can handle a demanding practice session, teams will be very careful about signing him. I hope he gets another chance, but he better choose carefully. He needs to avoid teams with the West Coast offense at all costs.

Patrick McManamon has written a great article in the Beacon Journal explaining how Romeo Crennel has stressed accountability in training camp. If players perform they will play. Crennel was an important part of the regime in New England that won three Super Bowls, often utilizing unheralded players who earned important roles on the team. He appears to be doing the same with the Browns.He doesn’t coddle high draft picks like Braylon Edwards, and he’s not afraid to call out veterans like L.J. Shelton who screw up with stupid penalties. Yet he does this in a professional, matter-of-fact manner that gets his point across without unnecessary drama. What a breath of fresh air after years of listening to Butch Davis.

The Browns traded wide receiver Andre’ Davis to the New England Patriots for an undisclosed draft pick. ESPN is reporting that the pick is a fifth-rounder in the 2006 draft.

The move seems to make sense for the Browns, though I would have liked to see them get a 4th or 3rd round pick. With the emergence of Antonio Bryant and the selection of Braylon Edwards, the Browns are in great shape at the wide receiver position. Dennis Northcutt also gives them a very good third receiver and Josh Cribbs looks excellent as the new kickoff returner.
