Patrick McManamon, of the Akron Beacon Journal, reports Cleveland Browns WR Dennis Northcutt is eligible to become a free agent after this season and his role with the team has been limited to punt returner. "I'm a fourth receiver/punt returner. We really don't run four receiver sets, so I'm a punt returner for the Cleveland Browns," said Northcutt. He claims head coach Romeo Crennel told him the coaching staff does not see him as a wide receiver. "I was told by (coach) Romeo (Crennel) that the offensive coaches said I was too small. They feel like they want bigger receivers. [WR] Josh Cribbs is the same size as me, but it's OK."

Would be a good pickup if he's not too expensive. He can return kicks and he's a good receiver... I still remember that hail mary he caught on us a few years back... man that hurts... but this situation is crazy though ain' it?
