Veteran guard Joe Andruzzi has been notified that he will be cut from the Cleveland Browns following a physical, effectively making him an unrestricted free agent. That's right, Screw you, Kevin Shaffer! The Browns have one lineman begging to leave town, and we're booting one who probably wouldn't mind staying.

I'm not sure what's really going on behind the scenes here, to be honest. We learned last year (the very hard way) that depth on the offensive line is absolutely crucial, yet we're cutting back on a vet who, if not with his play, could just as easily contribute by helping the younger guys we have growing into our line such as Fred Matua, Joe Thomas and Isaac Sowells.

Maybe this is Phil Savage's way of giving Shaffer the one-finger salute? "Well, Kevin, we've worked out a deal. Guess who gets to leave...Not you! Kiss my down-home, country ass! You'll play where we decide, and you'll like every damn minute of it."

Andruzzi has had knee problems in the past but was able to tough it out, starting 27 games the '05 and '06 seasons. It is likely that Matua and Sowells will get a good look during training camp, and recent free agent signing Seth McKinney will start at the position. Assuming everyone but Bentley is healthy come game one, here is what the line might look like:

LT - Joe Thomas
LG - Eric Steinbach
C - Hank Fraley
RG - Seth McKinney
RT - Ryan Tucker - coming back from a mental health issue that kept him out for the end of last season
