QB updates

It has been recently reported that the Cleveland Browns are interested in re-signing Kelly Holcomb. It also appears that the interest is mutual, in all likelihood removing a name from the list of potential Free Agent acquisitions for the Lions at QB.

Also there has been some reports that Brad Johnson is likely to be released.
Chuckie lops another head off.

Johnson, though aged and heavy of foot, would be a class addition. He has thrived in West Coast-type of offense and has also played well in a more vertically inclined offense, such as the one implemented by Norvell Turner in Washington a few years ago. Johnson would also have valuable postseason experience and probably has a big chip on his shoulder because of the way he was treated by Gruden and the Bucs organization last year. I have to admit, of the Qb’s on the market, Johnson would be at or near the top of my list for the Lions to sign.
