If Verba is in good shape I would check him out.

ESPN.com's John Clayton reports free agent OT Ross Verba (Browns) is trying to schedule his first visit with his former team, the Green Bay Packers. Verba was out of football last year after buying out his contract and becoming a free agent. As previously noted, Verba is attempting a comeback for the 2006 season.

"I can't overemphasize how important offensive linemen are," Ron Wolf said. "What Ross Verba adds to us is flexibility in our offensive line for the first time since we've been here."
Verba was taken in the first round 30th pick over all.
In 2001 he chose to sign with another team, the Browns over the Packers. I believe he chose another team because the Packers wanted him to play a different position than he wanted. We wanted Guard, he wanted Tackle. I believe, I am not for certain.
Hold on longtime, you are making sense now! Some posters want to continue to view the world to be flat. The rounder you make the more uncomfortable they get.longtimefan said:Source
he former Green Bay Packers guard and tackle has signed a four-year deal with the Cleveland Browns to become their starting right tackle. Terms of the deal were not released, but several players in the Packers locker room said they thought it was worth $16 million and included a signing bonus of $5 million.
The signing ends Verba's four-year run with the Packers, which began in 1997, when he was drafted in the first round out of the University of Iowa. The Packers made almost no attempt to re-sign Verba because they thought they would not be able to meet his demands.
During his four years with the Packers, Verba played three seasons at left tackle and one at left guard. He was the first rookie to start at left tackle in the Super Bowl and held the position solidly until Mike Sherman took over as coach and moved him to guard.
** Interesting...A very good offensive lineman was not even offered money and he bolted to get top dollar...All this while Ron Wolf was in charge??? This sounds VERY familiar, now doesnt it?
And Sherman decided it was best to move Verba to guard, even tho he was SOLID at tackle???
Buckeyepackfan said:I do believe we had Tauscher and Clifton, who both ended up starting as rookies because of injury and proved to be the best tackles on the team.
Verba didn't want to play guard so he left for Cleveland and the big payday.
I think maybe it is time for some of you to move on and quit blaming Mike Sherman for everything, TT has been through his second draft, he has hired the guy he wanted for HC, so why not try supporting this years team instead of playing the same old blame game that has been going on this board for way to long. Some of us are sick of hearing about it.
