New Year’s Eve celebrations were held around the world Monday, but the Browns weren’t in the mood to party. On the other hand, no one in the organization was hanging their head in disgust, either.
Winning 10 games, but missing the postseason on a pair of tiebreakers, predictably brought out plenty of mixed emotions in Berea.
With 2007 now in the books, the Browns do have several difficult decisions to make.
Tops on the list is offering a long-term contract to quarterback Derek Anderson or promoting rookie Brady Quinn to the starting job. They also must determine how much running back Jamal Lewis is worth to them — financially and otherwise — before he hits the open market. And there is the matter of deciding which defensive linemen and linebackers to go forward with.
Those issues, however, are a far cry from having to fill Grand Canyon-sized holes on the roster, as Cleveland had to do in most recent offseasons.
“Having too many good players is not a problem,” Crennel said, laughing.
“We’re excited for the Cleveland Browns, and hopefully the fans are excited for the Cleveland Browns in the new year.”

There are only 2 or 3 LB or DL that I would keep. I would start replacing them one at a time until the defense is overhauled.
