Browns acquire C Hank Fraley

Finally, the Browns may have some stability at the center position. Cleveland has acquired Hank Fraley from the Eagles for a conditional pick in the 2008 draft.

As the AP points out, the center position has been quite a mess this season:

Quote:
Fraley's arrival will hopefully solidify a problematic position, which has dominoed into more chaos since Pro Bowl free agent LeCharles Bentley sustained a season-ending knee injury on the Browns' first contact play of training camp.

Bentley's loss was followed by the sudden retirement of Bob Hallen, who quit citing a back problem the Browns claim they knew nothing about. Hallen's departure was then compounded by free agent Alonzo Ephraim being suspended for four games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

The Browns then acquired Ross Tucker in a trade from New England and Lennie Friedman in a deal with Chicago. But Tucker, who started the final exhibition game against the Bears, had his contract terminated Saturday.

Now, it's up to Fraley, a 6-foot-2, 300-pounder who made 71 career starts -- and 10 in the playoffs -- for the Eagles, to anchor the line.

So, how much does this help the Cleveland offensive line? Fraley certainly hasn't been a stiff or anything, so I think he will wind up being a good addition for an offensive line that certainly needs the help.
