• Holmgren's Cleveland visit telling

  • By John Clayton | December 15, 2009 1:53:00 PM PST
That Mike Holmgren is visiting Cleveland and nothing yet has been set up with the Seahawks is the first sign Holmgren could end up running the Browns. According to sources, the Seahawks' organization appears to be split on whether to bring back Holmgren to run the team. There is no split in Cleveland. Owner Randy Lerner might be willing to wrap up something quickly, and Holmgren would like to figure out where he will be working before the end of the year, according to a source. Also, sources indicate Holmgren would not keep Eric Mangini as his head coach if he's hired in Cleveland. Though Holmgren doesn't have anyone designated for the head-coaching job, he would only accept the job with the idea of making major changes.Movie residuals for Oher: The movie "The Blind Side'' has drawn the attention of a lot of fans around the NFL. Ravens right tackle Michael Oher, on whom the film is based, has jumped to third place in fan voting for the Pro Bowl, moving ahead of Colts tackles Charlie Johnson and Ryan Diem. Jake Long of the Dolphins is the leading vote-getter at tackle in the AFC with 214,924 votes. Matt Light of the Patriots is second with 152,479. Oher is third with 140,936.Bad to worse for Rams: Just about everything has gone wrong for the Rams this season. They were down to a third-string quarterback, Keith Null, in Week 14 against the Titans. Now, their efforts to rebuild the offensive line have gone south. The team is thinking about shutting down first-round pick Jason Smith for the season because of his problems with concussions. Left guard Jacob Bell is done for the season because of a hamstring injury. On Tuesday, they released guard Richie Incognito because of his penalties and mistakes on the field. It's just been one of those years.Skins cleared: As expected, the Redskins were cleared of any wrongdoing in the Albert Haynesworth tampering case. The Titans felt Redskins owner Dan Snyder talked about Haynesworth during a dinner meeting with Haynesworth's agent at the scouting combine in Indianapolis, but the agent also represents Redskins receiver Malcolm Kelly. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were bidding heavily for Haynesworth during the first few hours of free agency and there was some thoughts he might go there. Regardless, tampering is hard to prove, so the Redskins won't lose any draft choice or face any fine after a lengthy investigation.
