LaDainian Tomlinson found a new home, while the Cleveland Browns cleaned house. The New York Jets added Tomlinson to last season's top-ranked rushing offense, signing the aging former MVP to a two year-contract worth about $5.2 million Sunday. The 31-year-old Tomlinson, cut last month by San Diego, chose New York over Minnesota after visiting the Vikings on Thursday.

Whether Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace provide an appreciable upgrade over Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn remains to be seen. But president Mike Holmgren broke his silence by jettisoning the top two quarterbacks on Cleveland’s roster in less than a week.
Anderson was cut loose before a $3 million bonus was due. Quinn was shipped to Denver in exchange for fullback Peyton Hillis, a sixth-round pick in 2011 and a conditional 2012 pick.
“I appreciate everything Brady did for us last year and in his three seasons with the Cleveland Browns,” coach Eric Mangini said in a press release. “He is professional in the way he goes about doing his job and worked extremely hard at every aspect of his game.

Brady Quinn will get a chance to start over in Denver. Whether he'll get to start is up in the air.

The Oakland Raiders bolstered their pass rush Sunday by acquiring former first-round pick Kamerion Wimbley from the Cleveland Browns for an undisclosed draft pick. Oakland senior executive John Herrera confirmed the deal, saying Oakland gave up a pick it had acquired in a previous deal. The Raiders had acquired a third-round pick from New England last summer in a deal for Derrick Burgess.

The re-construction of the Cleveland Browns continued on Sunday, just not in a way that anyone thought.
After news of the trade of Brady Quinn made headlines, it is being reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the Cleveland Browns have traded starting outside linebacker Kamerion Wimbley to the Oakland Raiders for an undisclosed conditional draft pick.
After having an outstanding 11-sack rookie season in 2006, the 26-year-old, former first round pick has struggled in his development from a defensive-end to a 3-4 outside linebacker for the Browns.
In 2009, under new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, it looked like Wimbley was just beginning to become that strong pass rushing threat the Browns have lacked for years by posting 6.5 sacks and 69 tackles in 15 starts.
The trade of Wimbley has come as quite a surprise to the people of Cleveland, and the carousel of first-round picks being traded out of Cleveland continues.
Joe Thomas and Alex Mack are the only ones to remain on the roster since the Browns have re-entered the league in 1999.
What does this trade mean for the Cleveland Browns?
To start, it means that they now have a gaping hole at the outside linebacker position. With the departure of Wimbley, the depth chart now looks weaker than before.
David Bowens, Alex Hall, Jason Trusnik, and Matt Roth will all compete for the two starting outside linebacker positions in 2010.
It also means that outside linebacker may have just leap-frogged cornerback as a position of need at the No. 7 pick in the first round, and there are a few names that will be available to keep your eyes on at that pick:
1) Jason Pierre-Paul, DE/OLB, South Florida
2) Derrick Morgan, DE/OLB, Georgia Tech
3) Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas (if Cleveland trades down)
The trade of Wimbley to Oakland is definitely a shocker, and is mind-boggling when the Browns have so many other areas of need in their defense already.

Cleveland Continues Trading Former First Round Picks, Deals LB Kamerion Wimbley

As if the breaking news of trading quarterback Brady Quinn were not enough, ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported that the Browns have sent linebacker Kamerion Wimbley to the Raiders for a third round pick.
Wimbley, a former first-round pick, never came into his full potential as a pass rushing linebacker once converted over from a defensive end in college.
After a solid rookie campaign where Wimbley had 11 sacks, he never even came close to that number since.
It is quite obvious that new Browns President Mike Holmgren does not think highly of former General Manager Phil Savage’s ability to draft talent, since his former first rounders are dropping left and right now.
Obviously, Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas is not going anywhere, but Holmgren has blown up this roster now in the last week with the free agent signings, trades, and cuts.
Wimbley is a solid physical specimen, which Raiders owner Al Davis loves, so this trade does make sense for the Raiders.
Now the Browns have their third third-round pick in this April’s draft and can easily make a power play to move up in the draft to pick Oklahoma’s Sam Bradford, if they so choose, or they just have that many more picks to fill needs and load this team with future playmakers.
The Browns currently hold 12 picks in this April’s 2010 NFL Draft.
