The Cleveland Browns announced they have traded RB Jerome Harrison to the Philadelphia Eagles for RB Mike Bell, who spent last season with the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints.
However, he wasn’t in Eric Mangini’s doghouse.
If you believe that, we have some lakefront property in Akron for you to look at.
Harrison was a major reason for the team winning their last four games of the 2009 season, but the powers that be seemed to always be looking to replace him. He was a legitimate home run threat, one of the few on this team.
The trade is another example of the coaching staff running off a talented player, who might not be fully in tune with the attitude of the coaching staff.
Right now, the Cleveland Browns aren’t good enough for their coach to have a doghouse.
Harrison wasn’t used much last season until the team was in desperation mode.
Harrison doesn’t fit the power running style preferred by the coach, but he could have been valuable on short passes and getting the ball in an open space.
Bell, 27, has gained 1400 yards in his five-year NFL career, which started in Denver in 2006. He’s more of a Peyton Hillis type of back.
