Browns trade for DL Williams: The Browns acquired Green Bay DL Corey Williams in a surprise trade Friday morning, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Williams, 27, supposedly was taken off the free-agent market when the Packers gave him the franchise tag of $6.3 million. But they shied from investing long term in the fifth-year player and actively shopped him late in the week. The deal requires the Browns to sign Williams to a multiyear contract. The Browns also had to surrender their second-round draft pick to Green Bay. That would temporarily leave the Browns without picks in the first two rounds of the draft. They traded their No. 1 last year to Dallas for quarterback Brady Quinn. (Updated 02/29/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Williams played in all 16 games in 2007, including nine starts. He set career highs with 51 tackles and 32 solo stops and tied his career high with seven sacks. Even with those totals, he did not rank high in IDP leagues that count tackles. He's not expected to be anything better than a reserve Fantasy DL in 2008. (Updated 02/29/2008).

Forget Cleveland's playmaking offense, it's good to go. Instead, Pete Prisco's attention is drawn to the defensive line, which is 700 pounds heavier and figures to be leaner and meaner.
