Already shorthanded at corner back, the Browns now must scramble to bring in one or two cor nerbacks with experience. General Manager Phil Savage all but ruled out unsigned, 14-year veteran Ty Law and Philadelphia's Lito Sheppard, who has been offered in trade and wants a new contract.

Sheppard would actually fit into what the browns need and are trying to do, quite nicely. Glad they aren't trying to acquire him.

Since I would prefer the Browns stay out of the playoffs.

KWJ for Lito Sheppard, get it done!

May 23, 2008  08:50 AM ET

Philly would want a 2nd round pick for Sheppard and Law is asking for too much money....

They will go with the 2 2nd year players and they just signed Terry Cousins.

yeah lito sheppard is worth about half of K2's arm.

Since when have the Browns been interested in the following Law?

Right. Because K2 has done so much in his extensive career.

Face it Eagles fans....The Eagles will not get what they think Sheppard is worth in a trade....He's too injured....too often....and he wants a new contract....three things that are damming to any player

Don't know about Lito but Law is JUST about signed. sealed, and delivered to the Pats !!!

PhillyMike30 nailed it.

You'll never get what you think you deserve for Lito, especially when he's looking to get paid on top of everything else. If he had a contract that teams could look at and say "yeah he's worth it", then maybe.

For us Giants fans, its very similar to the thing with Shockey. His issues will always reduce his value to less than what he's worth on the field.

Things are lookin' bad for Lito
Iggles got better Cbs'
No room left for El Shi -to

Personally, I hope that the Eagles keep Lito...

May 23, 2008  01:02 PM ET

Yea Birds Need a Solid TE KWJ All Day EAGLES!!!!

May 23, 2008  01:31 PM ET

There's nothing the Browns could offer that would be worth a Lito.

May 23, 2008  02:17 PM ET

The NFC is getting stronger and Philly better get younger and better.

May 23, 2008  02:47 PM ET

That's what they're are known for doing.

May 23, 2008  02:50 PM ET

There's nothing the Browns could offer that would be worth a Lito.

That is an insane comment!! It's more like the Browns will not give up anyone to get Lito Sheppard.

May 23, 2008  03:02 PM ET

Browns have a syrong future but clearly need to uprade playing in the AFC

I can understand Phylfan36.. I assume Philly does to right. Dolphins will struggle and the browns will not contend but they will continue to get better.
