The moves out of Cleveland Browns HQ in Berea are getting curiousier and curiousier.  The team announced two signings today - fullback Alan Ricard and tight end Ryan Krause.  Given that the Browns released their blocking back Terrelle Smith last month, the former isn't a big surprise.

However, signing Krause could mean one of two things.  The first:  they're in need of some training camp competition or they're worried about Kellen Winslow's recovery from microfracture surgery.  The fact that they signed TE Steve Heiden to a multi-year extension just last week and this tell me that they may be a wee bit worried.  Heiden is a warrior who deserved an extension.  However, would it have come at this time had Winslow not had surgery?

Mind you, this is mere speculation on my part, but right now it looks as if the Browns are preparing for the worst.
