A recent report from the Cleveland Plain-Dealer suggests former Steelers outside linebacker James Harrison would "love to play for the Browns," according to his agent, Bill Parise. Of course, Parise's client is also a free agent, who was released because he did not want to play for a reduced salary. That strongly suggests his client would "love" to play anywhere. The Browns appear to be ready and willing to spend a chunk of the truckload of cap space they have, and are reportedly showing interest in Ravens free agent LBs Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe. Cleveland's in a great position to raise the market value of Ellerbe considerably, noting the Ravens have made re-signing Ellerbe their top priority, despite possibly letting him hit actual free agency - beginning at 4 p.m. ET Tuesday, March 12.

I don't see why the Browns make this move unless they feel like they are 2 years within Super Bowl contention.
They need a lot of new linebackers..makes sense to me if they don't see the guy who's gonna be ther star pass rusher this year. He's versed in basically the exact kind of defense they want to run.
might not be bad to bring him in for a year or 2 to help bridge the gap until they have a young LB ready
