I feel like it may be movie related. Or are they further in production than i thought?

I don't think they are that far along. They just cast the starting QB about a week ago.

Browns among teams interested in former Ravens fullback Vonta Leach, agent tells Houston TV station

By Nate Ulrich Published: June 13, 2013

The Browns are among the teams that have expressed interest in free-agent fullback Vonta Leach, his agent, Ralph Vitolo, told Fox 26 in Houston on Wednesday.

The Baltimore Ravens cut Leach on Tuesday after they were unable to work out a trade following failed attempts to restructure his contract. Leach was scheduled to make a base salary of $3 million during the 2013 season and carried a $4.33 million salary-cap figure, according to the Baltimore Sun.

Leach, 31, was named to Pro Bowl and All-Pro teams for his work in each of the past three seasons. He is known as one of the best lead-blocking fullbacks in the NFL.

The 6-foot, 260-pound Leach visited the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday, according to reports. Vitolo told Fox 26 the Houston Texans, New York Giants and Kansas City Chiefs are also among seven teams that have shown interest in his client.

Leach spent two-plus seasons with the Green Bay Packers and four-plus seasons with the Texans before signing a three-year, $11 million deal with the Ravens in 2011. In nine NFL seasons, Leach has compiled 24 carries for 70 yards (2.9 average) and three touchdowns to go along with 112 catches for 749 yards and four touchdowns.

If the Browns want to add a top-flight, traditional fullback to new offensive coordinator Norv Turner’s arsenal and are willing to stray from their trend of signing players in their mid-to-late 20s, Leach would be a logical target. Owen Marecic is the only pure fullback on the Browns’ roster, and the previous coaching staff benched him last season after he dropped all four passes thrown his way.

I would love that signing. Mostly because Marecic would be gone.

Would be a solid pickup.

Since it's coming from MKC, I would say that there is a good chance the Browns are interested. Because we really wanted to draft Blackmon too.

So Lombardi called, but we're not interested. Guess he just wanted to chat it up with Vonta's agent about shit other than Vonta.

So basically, we're interested, Vonta isn't, and Mary Kay is retarded.

Or Lombardi called, found out what his agent was looking for in a contract, then moved on and is now not interested because of this. Players

Relax guys, Marecic has this locked down.
