      <title>Can Brandon Weeden Save the Cleveland Browns? (Yahoo! Contributor Network)</title>

      <description>COMMENTARY | For Brandon Weeden, this may be his last chance to show the Browns he can be the arm and the leader they need to capitalize on the positive changes they've made from the front office down. The good news is Weeden's arm strength fits into offensive coordinator Norv Turner's vertical offense style of play, and Turner is known for adapting the game plan to the talent. Add a solid offensive line and legitimate running game that will keep opposing defenses honest and the conditions might be just right for Weeden to excel.</description>

      <title>Jets first-round CB Dee Milliner fires his agents after falling out of the Top 5 (Shutdown Corner)</title>
      <link>http://us.rd.yahoo.com/sports/rss/nfl/SIG=13iqgprr1/*http%3A//sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/jets-first-round-cb-dee-milliner-fires-agents-004108244.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[
 Late last month, New York Jets second-round quarterback Geno Smith fired his agents after falling out of Round 1 in the 2013 NFL draft. Smith is expected to announce a decision on a new agent soon — the favorite is Jay-Z's "Roc Nation" sports agency — but he won't be the only Jets draft pick to change agents after being selected slightly later than expected. 
 According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Jets first-round pick Dee Milliner has fired Impact Sports after he was not selected with one of the first five picks in the 2013 NFL draft. Milliner "tumbled" all the way to the ninth overall pick in the draft. 
 Milliner was expected to be a first round pick, but there were no iron-clad guarantees that he would be selected in the top five, or even the top ten. In our pre-draft, "Shutdown 50" series, Milliner was ranked ninth by editor Doug Farrar, who had Milliner going to the Cleveland Browns with the sixth overall pick in his mock draft . Greg Cosell had Milliner going to the Pittsburgh Steelers with the No. 17 pick in his mock draft . 
 Milliner was represented by Tony Fleming and Mitch Frankel, who were set to negotiate Milliner's four-year rookie contract which would be worth around $12.66 million, all of which would be fully guaranteed, including a $7,588,072 signing bonus. Based on the contract signed by Detroit Lions defensive end Ziggy Ansah on May 10, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2013 draft, Milliner would have received a four-year contract worth $18,594,502 in fully guaranteed money. 
 "I know that everything was done to ensure that Mr. Milliner would be drafted as high as possible," Fleming told Rapoport. "Dee was the first cornerback selected, and he was drafted ninth overall to the New York Jets. This is a tremendous accomplishment. I wish Mr. Milliner future success in his professional career." 
 Per NFLPA rules, Milliner has to wait five days before he can officially hire a new agent.

      <description><![CDATA[
 Ten days after he was released by the Minnesota Vikings, veteran punter Chris Kluwe will reportedly sign a one-year contract with the Oakland Raiders, reports Brendon Ayanbadejo of FOXSports.com. 
 Kluwe, a native of Southern California, is looking forward to playing in his home state. 
 "I’m excited to be an Oakland Raider and be playing in California," said Kluwe. "Now, my family can actually come to games." 
 Kluwe spent eight seasons with the Vikings and was scheduled to earn $1.45 million in base salary and bonuses in the final year of his contract. According to Ayanbadejo, Kluwe's deal with the Raiders is for the veteran minimum, which for Kluwe, is $840,000. 
 The 31-year-old Kluwe had speculated that his release was due, in part, to his vocal support and advocacy for marriage equality , both nationally and in the state of Minnesota. Vikings GM Rick Spielman, who used a fifth-round pick in the 2013 NFL draft on punter Jeff Locke, denied that accusation, which he called "off-base". Kluwe finished the 2012 season with the highest net punting average of his career (39.7 yards), but ranked towards the bottom of the league in placing punts inside the opponents' 20-yard line and was one of three regular punters to not have at least one punt of 60 yards. 
 Kluwe joined first-year player Marquette King and undrafted rookie Bobby Cowan on the Raiders, who lost free agent Shane Lechler to the Houston Texans this offseason. According to Football Outsiders' advanced metrics, the Raiders ranked 31st in special teams DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) last season and their punting unit ranked 31st, as well. Earlier this week, the Raiders took a step towards improving their punt coverage unit by agreeing to terms with Josh Cribbs, a solid return man who had 24 special teams tackles for the Cleveland Browns over the last two seasons. 
 The Raiders will need to clear a roster spot to officially add Kluwe, which means King, or most likely Cowan, will be released as carrying three punters is not feasible even with a 90-man roster during the offseason.

      <title>Chargers LB Melvin Ingram tears his ACL during OTA practice (Shutdown Corner)</title>
      <link>http://us.rd.yahoo.com/sports/rss/nfl/SIG=13ju9bgim/*http%3A//sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/chargers-lb-melvin-ingram-tears-acl-during-ota-004809627.html</link>
      <description><![CDATA[
 San Diego Chargers outside linebacker Melvin Ingram suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during Tuesday's OTA practice, the team announced on Tuesday night. 
 Tuesday was the second day of OTA practices for the Chargers, who began their offseason program on April 1. The Chargers are in "Phase Three" of the program, during which no live contact is permitted. 
 Ingram, the No. 18 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft, started two of 16 games as a rookie, totaling 41 tackles, including one sack, with five passes defensed. A good portion of Ingram's contributions as a rookie came on special teams where he was tied for the team lead with 12 tackles, including a team-high 11 solo stops. 
 According to official NFL playing-time documents, Ingram logged just 43.61 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps. Ingram's one quarterback sack in 2012 was comprised of two shared sacks. The first half-sack came in a 7-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 28 and the second came in a 27-17 win over the New York Jets on Dec. 23. With the Chargers letting veteran outside linebacker Shaun Phillips walk away in free agency, Ingram was expected to secure a starting job in 2013. 
 Ingram posted 21.5 sacks during his 50-game college career at South Carolina and his ability to get to opposing quarterbacks was behind his selection with the 18th overall pick in last year's draft. Ingram's four-year, $8.263 million contract included $7.522 million in guaranteed money, including the $2.7 million in base salaries Ingram is scheduled to earn over the next three seasons.
