Here’s the other AMAZING thing about this Hadnot deal: the Steelers were pursuing him despite the fact that they have some serious money issues. Hadnot could fill a need at either guard or center - the 6-foot-2, 325-pounder has extensive experience at each position - though the Steelers are hardly the only suitors for the fourth-year veteran. The veteran nose tackle recently talked to his friend, Rex Hadnot - and talked up Pittsburgh and the Steelers’ organization to the former Miami Dolphins offensive lineman. The Pittsburgh Post-Tribune has more on the Steelers need for Hadnot: This is a mean move, going after someone that Pittsburgh clearly wanted and needed. It makes me feel like our front office is going after Pittsburgh.

VERY rarely to the Steelers come up for air in the free agent market, and when they do, they have a pretty good track record of reeling in who they want. Some might be quick to call this a sign of the times in the AFC North, and I am one of those people. Not only that, but they needed him, and we didn’t.

But, if not, all of his value was sealed yesterday, as Browns fans everywhere had an opportunity to stick the Hadnot signing right in the eye of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sure, signing offensive lineman Rex Hadnot on the surface isn’t much, he will compete for a starting gig on our offensive line, and could prove to be a valuable, versatile player. I don’t know what’s sweeter: all of the moves the Cleveland Browns have made so far in free agency combined, or their move yesterday. Of course, you would rather have a re-signed Jamal Lewis and Derek Anderson, in addition to the signings of Shaun Rogers, Corey Williams and Donte’ Stallworth, but yesterdays move, above all of the others made this off-season, really made me feel good about where the Browns are heading. But for a kid that has already been through some of the hardest times in his life, Austin Scott probably doesn’t blink at the long odds ahead of him, he is just grateful for the opportunity.įiled under: Browns | Tagged: Browns, Joe Table Blew It | 2 Comments » I was happy to see that Scott was offered a contract, even though it is the first of many steps in his attempt to make the final Browns roster. This is just about a kid who’s life was ruined through no fault of his own, and his attempt to put it back together. If he would have been found guilty of that charge, he would be worthless to the world, and rightfully so. This article is not about to turn into a diatribe on how men accused of rape are guilty before proven innocent, although it very easily could. But, in April, Scott was excused of all charges that were leveed against him, which presumably will allow him to continue focusing solely on the game of football. Scott never had that chance to get JoePa’s benefit of the doubt, he never had a chance to enjoy his final days playing in front of the home crowd in Happy Valley.

Upon his arrival at PSU, Scott was one of the best running backs in Pennsylvania High School history, but never really had an opportunity to shine for the Blue and White, partially because of his performance, partially because all things being equal, Joe Paterno gives the playing time to the upperclassmen. This accusation effectively ruined his college football career, to say nothing of what it did to his reputation. He was dismissed from the team once he was charged with rape. His name is Austin Scott, and if he in any way makes an impact for the Browns this season, I will be a happy guy.Īustin Scott is a Penn State graduate and was not drafted because he did not play the majority of his senior season for the Nittany Lions.

But I currently am openly rooting for one of the seven players that the Browns made an offer to out of mini-camp. It’s hard for anyone to get worked up over the Browns draft picks this season, considering they used picks this year to draft Brady Quinn, and to trade for Shaun Rogers and Corey Williams.
