This isn't new, we've all heard, but its developing even further. All rumors. who knows in the NFL

Making the speculation surprising is that Holmgren has never worked with Fox. But they share an agent -- Bob LaMonte -- and LaMonte could be once again trying to play NFL matchmaker, while at the same time getting Fox out of the final year of his contract in Carolina.

But if that's the end game, the Browns should tread lightly. The last time a LaMonte client with a season left on his contract changed teams, the team that got LaMonte's client gave up two first-round picks, two second-round picks, and $8 million.

But the future for Mangini in Cleveland doesn't look bright. Holmgren confirmed that his first interview for GM will be tonight with Philadelphia Eagles General Manager Tom Heckert Jr. There is also increasing speculation that Carolina coach John Fox could switch teams and be Holmgren's top choice as Browns coach.

Fox has one year left on his Carolina contract and his future has been open to speculation because the team has declined to give him an extension.

A league source who knows Holmgren well said he expected Holmgren to choose a defensive-minded head coach and would take a hands-on approach to the offensive staff.

Holmgren, Heckert and Fox all are represented by agent Bob LaMonte.

I think Fox would rather play out the last year of his contract. He has basically assembled the team as he wants it with a few missing pieces. I don't see why he would want to start over with the crappy Browns.

I have to say 2 1st round picks does sound pretty nice. But Hurney has to stay.

No way in hell would Cleveland give up 2 first round picks for John Fox. They are in rebuilding mode, and desperately need all the help they can get from PLAYERS. They have Jerome Harrison and Joshua Cribbs. Those are pretty much the only play makers they have. Massaqua(spelling?) has potential to be a good receiver, but as you can see here in Carolina, you need 2 legitimate receiving threats.

If this happened I would be shocked, but happy because we could select top 5. :D

fug that I would trade down. Then we'd have like 20 picks in the draft.

why give up anything to get Fox???? Why not go for one of the Coaches already on market instead?

Fox is this highly thought of???? Why not just sign Cowher, Gruden, Marty S., etc. or find the next up and coming coach that is a OC/DC right now?

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
