for Browns

Derrick Morse will be heading
to Cleveland.
After a stressful time of deciding which team to go
with, the former University of Miami guard accepted an
invitation from the Browns. He'll report to the NFL
team's rookie minicamp Thursday and will take part in
practice Friday through Sunday.
"It is (stressful)," the Estero High graduate said.
"You gotta make a lot of important decisions once free
agency comes. You have to do what's best for you, find
the best opportunity. If it's not a great opportunity,
you may not make it.
"I went to bed Sunday with a headache but I woke up
(Tuesday) feeling great."
Morse said he chose Cleveland because the team was
building its practice squad and needing back-up
players. He also likes that he'll be rejoining
Cleveland offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski, a
former Hurricanes assistant, and former Miami tight end
Kellen Winslow.
Morse said that if the tryout doesn't work out with
Cleveland, he'll have another the following weekend
with the New York Giants. "And if they want me to sign,
I'm signing," Morse said.
