 After being aggressive in upgrading their defensive line and receiving corps, the Cleveland Browns went back to basics and tried to provide insurance for their offensive line by re-signing guard Lennie Friedman. Friedman, 31, agreed to a one-year deal to be a backup at guard and center. This will be Friedman's third season with the Browns. He's had two starts over the past two years. In 10 seasons, Friedman has started 34 games for four teams, including the Bears, Redskins and Broncos. The Browns also reached a two-year, $7 million deal with Dolphins guard Rex Hadnot. Hadnot was considered one of the prize offensive linemen on the market. He was talking to the Steelers and the Houston Texans, but he decided to take a short-term deal with the Browns. At 26, Hadnot will have two years to start on a talented Browns offensive line and then see if he can get a long-term contract. No official word on the signing of Friedman from the team yet, as we know more we will pass it along. Stay tuned to Browns 24/7 for more breaking news.
