Newsbreakers
August 7, 2008
Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. missed the team's first preseason game because of a sore hamstring, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:It was the first preseason contest, so Winslow missing the game was not altogether surprising. He should be back soon, as the injury is not thought to be serious.
August 2, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr did not practice yesterday because of a sore hamstring, according to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.

Our View:It is not a serious injury, and Winslow will be back in no time, which is good news for fantasy players who wish to enjoy the benefits of his vast receiving potential.
July 24, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr is solely focused on football heading into training camp, and is putting his desire for a new contract on hold, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He said he does not want to be a distraction and added, "I left a lot on the field last year. I watched the film and saw things I could have done better. I probably could've caught 100 balls. Touchdowns, I only had five, so I can get a lot better in each category."

Our View:This is encouraging news, and his fantasy stock remains high as an elite fantasy tight end.
July 20, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr commented on the health of his right knee, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Winslow said, "I still have to rehab, but nothing's going to stop me from my dream. I'm ready. I think I've put in the time, the hard work, this season. My first year back, I couldn't run as much as I'd like. But last year I was in pretty good shape coming back to training camp and I think I'm in good shape now. I've had so many operations, I don't even remember what I had. But nothing's going to stop me from being ready for the season and stopping my dream."

Our View:He also wished that the season started tomorrow, and noted that the Browns have a lot to prove this season. He is in good spirits and his fantasy stock remains high as an elite tight end.
June 17, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr reportedly looked great through the Browns' last five practices of minicamp, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Our View:So far, so good, regarding his surgically repaired knee.
June 12, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr wants a contract extension, and his agent Drew Rosenhaus said that things are going well, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I have had discussions with [GM] Phil Savage ... about Kellen's contract. Kellen has made it clear in the past what he would like to accomplish." Unfortunately, Savage doesn't share that optimism. "We don't have a lot of wiggle room right now ... I think we've let it be known kind of where we are."

Our View:This will likely drag on, but at least Winslow has been at practice and looking quite strong after off-season knee surgery.
June 11, 2008
Cleveland tight end Kellen Winslow stepped in for a few repetitions in team drills during the second day of mini-camp and immediately looked like the best player out there, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. On one play he got behind linebacker Kris Griffin and hauled in a Brady Quinn pass, sprinting 40 yards to the end zone.

Our View:We are beginning to think that Winslow, who is only three months removed from knee surgery, is a medical marvel. By some reports, Winslow has had five knee surgeries during his short career, yet he continues to perform well despite the adversity.
June 10, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr didn't participate in team drills Tuesday, but he reportedly bounced around nimbly in other portions of practice, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Our View:It doesn't appear he will hold out, as this was the first day of a manadatory minicamp that goes through Thursday. But it remains to be determined if he will be ready for training camp, as he is still recovering from knee surgery in February.
June 10, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr will attend the Browns' mandatory three-day minicamp today, according to the Akron Beacon Journal. The Browns will hold two practices Tuesday and Wednesday and one on Thursday that will cap a month of off-season training activities.

Our View:His level of participation is unclear after he underwent a procedure to clean out his right knee following the Pro Bowl.
June 4, 2008
The Browns are in no hurry to sign often-injured tight end Kellen Winslow Jr to a new long-term deal, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. GM Phil Savage said, "We don't have a lot of wiggle room right now at this particular time. Only time will tell if it goes one direction or the other, but I think we've let it be known kind of where we are."

Our View:Savage also said he expects Winslow to show up for mandatory minicamp next Tuesday through Thursday. Winslow was absent for the four weeks of team OTA sessions, but Winslow's agent confirmed that Winslow was at home in San Diego rehabbing his scoped right knee, and also added that Winslow will report to minicamp.
May 27, 2008
Kellen Winslow missing voluntary workouts isn’t a big deal except that the Cleveland Browns keep saying they don’t know where the tight end is, as if they haven’t even been in touch with him. Per his agent Drew Rosenhaus, Winslow is rehabbing in San Diego will on hand for the Browns mandatory June mini-camp, according to the Dayton Daily News.

Our View:Winslow has made it clear, in no uncertain terms, that he wants his contract redone even though it has three years remaining and the Browns have been generous to a fault with him. It will be interesting to see if Winslow really attends the mandatory camp next month.
May 22, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr is absent from the Browns' voluntary workouts, and the team does not know where he is, according to ProFootballTalk.com. Coach Romeo Crennel stated on Wednesday that the team hasn't heard from Winslow and does not know why he isn't in attendance. Agent Drew Rosenhaus says that Winslow is rehabbing his knee, which was the target of yet another surgery in the offseason. Rosenhaus also explains that Winslow, who several times commented on his desire for a new contract, will be attending all mandatory activities.

Our View:Winslow racked up 82 receptions for 1106 yards and five scores last season, and his numbers merit he is worthy of a new contract, but the team has concerns regarding his durability following another surgery on his battered knee.
May 18, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr wants a raise and he wants it now, according to a report on Cleveland.com. Winslow has three years left at about $12 million dollars on his current deal, one that pales in comparison to the 6-year, $42 million deal that Dallas Clark recently signed.

Our View:How about this. If you want more money, don't sign a contract that you feel is undervalued. Life in the NFL is different in that a player can be cut at any point, but really, would you want to give Winslow a new contract, even if his production warranted it given his propensity to be injured?
May 14, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr remained away from the Browns OTAs on Wednesday, and head coach Romeo Crennel didn't know if his absence was "health-related" or "non-health-related." Crennel says, "When he gets here we'll find out for sure what that is." Winslow had right knee surgery this offseason.

Our View:We have a difficult time believing Crennel doesn't know exactly why Winslow isn't participating. It could be the knee. It could be the contract. It could be that he simply doesn't want to. We're not terribly worried at this early point in the offseason.
May 12, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr is not expected to attend the team OTA, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Our View:Winslow's absence could be a sign of a contract dispute with the team. Winslow wants a new deal, but the team has concerns about his durability due to several surgeries on his right knee. The team drafted Martin Rucker out of Missouri, but he is not in the same class as the elite Winslow, and won't be a worthy replacement if Winslow is to leave Cleveland. Winslow racked up 82 receptions for 1106 yards and five touchdowns in 2007, and you cannot help but wonder what kind of numbers he would be putting up if he never suffered that motorcycle accident in 2005.
April 28, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr could be phased out of Cleveland, according to FanNation. He is awaiting a new contract, but the team has longevity issues about his durability, and made a surprise trade into the third round of the draft on Sunday, when they selected pass-catching tight end Martin Rucker of Missouri. Winslow had another surgical procedure on his right knee in February. That was at least the fourth surgery on the knee injured in his 2005 motorcycle accident. He also had surgery on a broken right fibula and torn ankle ligaments in 2004.

Our View:There have been conversations about a new contract, but nothing has been resolved. Rucker is not in the same class as the elite Winslow, and he would not be a worthy replacement if Winslow is sent out of town. With that said, Winslow can make an impact in another city, and his fantasy value is not hurt by this news.
March 31, 2008
A new contract for tight end Kellen Winslow is now on the Cleveland Browns’ radar, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. This week at the NFL owners meetings, general manager Phil Savage will meet with Winslow's agent, Drew Rosenhaus to discuss a contract extension. Winslow, who made the 2007 Pro Bowl as an alternate, hired Rosenhaus last year in anticipation of a forthcoming contract extension.
March 26, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr. is progressing on schedule in his rehab following knee surgery last month according to USA Today. The Cleveland Browns offseason strength and conditioning program began on March 17, and Winslow has been involved as much has he can be at this stage. It was reported earlier in the offseason that Winslow wanted a new contract, but all has been quiet on that front lately. Winslow has had his problematic right knee operated on five times in the past four seasons.
February 28, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr might want to renegotiate his contract with the Browns, but the club is in no hurry, according to a report on the Akron Beacon Journal. "Right now is not the right time to be talking about it because our focus is on other things," GM Phil Savage said. Not to take anything away from his value to our team. That's a question I guess everyone would ask, 'Why would you do something with three years remaining on a contract?" Wanna bet Winslow sulks at some point, threatens a holdout, and then reports bitter and angry to camp? Winslow will likely find that huge pay day he seeks, but he has to prove that he can withstand the rigors of the NFL without needing surgery every year for a team to invest in him long-term.
February 24, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said he met with Browns GM Phil Savage and that talks are underway about re-negotiating his client's contract, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "We've had discussions," Rosenhaus said. Balancing Winslow's skill and determination with his vast injury history -- he just had his knee scoped this week -- could make for interesting discussions between the two sides in order to find an amicable agreement.
February 22, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr had his knee scoped this week and the team is hopeful he will be able to follow his off-season rehab process so that he will not be limited next season according to a report in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Winlsow has made some noise about wanting to restructure his contract, but the Browns really have little incentive to give a guy a long-term deal who has at least one surgery every off-season. Winslow can be fantasy gold at the TE position, but he still is injured frequently enough to lower his value slightly.
February 13, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr is concerned his career might be shortened by repeated surgeries on his right knee, according to the Plain Dealer. In the article, reporter Tony Grossi speculates that Winslow wants a new contract because of the problematic right knee, which has been operated on four times during his four-year career.
February 10, 2008
Tight end Kellen Winslow Jr was interviewed by the NFL's Network Adam Schefter on the Pro Bowl pre-game show and apparently, the Hawaiian sun must be therapeutic for his ailing right knee, according to the Plain Dealer. Winslow revealed that he went surfing with a group called the Hawaiin Fire during the week. "It's not as easy as it looks,'' he said. During Super Bowl week, Winslow said he'll definitely need arthroscopic surgery on his knee in the off-season. But he said from the Pro Bowl that he'll have it looked at it again when he gets back to determine what to do. If the Browns front office can ink quarterback Derek Anderson to a long-term deal, Winslow become a virtual lock as a Top-5 fantasy tight end this summer.
February 8, 2008
Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr told Sirius NFL Radio on Thursday that he wants to renegotiate his contract. "When I got hurt (in 2005), the contract got renegotiated, so some things changed, but I think I've proven these past two years that I'm one of the elite tight ends," Winslow told the Plain Dealer from Hawaii. "My value on the field, they put in an extra DB in the game, and that really changes the whole game. They have to guard me kind of like a wide receiver so, you know, yeah, gotta to get that new money." He's currently signed through 2010 and will make $4 million in 2008, $4.5 million in 2009 and $4.75 million in 2010.
February 5, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr will undergo another surgery on his right knee this offseason, according to the Akron Beacon-Journal. He could have had the operation shortly after the season finale, but he instead elected to wait, hoping to be named to the AFC's Pro Bowl team. Winslow received word Monday he would be replacing the injured Antonio Gates on the roster, and he still may play in the game. "I'm definitely going to have a surgery done on my knee," Winslow told WKNR radio last Friday. "My shoulder might be strong enough... I'm just really worried about my knee. Your legs are your life. I need my knee." Winslow had a terrific 2007 campaign, catching 82 balls for 1,106 yards and five scores.
February 4, 2008
Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr will sub for San Diego's Antonio Gates in Sunday's Pro Bowl. Gates is bowing out of the game because of the toe injury he suffered in the playoffs.
February 2, 2008
Kellen Winslow Jr is slated to undergo surgery on his knee this offseason, though he doesn't expect to require a procedure on the shoulder he dislocated in Week 3, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I'm definitely going to have a surgery done on my knee," Winslow said. "My shoulder might be strong enough . . . I'm just really worried about my knee. Your legs are your life. I need my knee." Winslow has proved to be one of the toughest players in recent memory, so expect him to keep performing at a high level no matter what his condition.
