CLEVELAND -- Moments before introducing their three newest players, the Browns sacked two disappointing quarterbacks. Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell got dumped 33 minutes apart. Clevelands QB carousel has never spun faster. Weeden, a former minor league baseball player who couldnt build on a promising rookie season, was let go Wednesday less than two years after the Browns selected him in the first round with the idea he would solve a position that has haunted the franchise since its expansion return 15 years ago. Weedens run was brief and forgettable. Campbells was even shorter. Shortly after the Browns sent out a release about Weeden, they emailed a nearly identical one concerning Campbell, who went 1-7 as a starter last season. Though expected, the moves were somewhat stunning since they trumped the introductions of safety Donte Whitner, linebacker Karlos Dansby and cornerback Isaiah Trufant, free agents who passed physicals and signed free agent contracts as blizzard-like conditions battered the teams facility in Berea. Theres always a storm brewing for the Browns, who have started 20 QBs since 1999. Weeden never panned out, and it wasnt entirely the first-round draft picks fault. He played under two coaches and in two systems in two seasons. After throwing for 3,385 yards as a rookie, he lost his job early last season after he got hurt and Brian Hoyer came off the bench and led the Browns to two victories. Weeden was re-inserted as the starter when Hoyer suffered a season-ending knee injury, but the 30-year-old lost his job again, this time to Campbell. Weeden passed for 5,116 yards and went 5-15 as a starter. He also became a target for Cleveland fan abuse, and his release will allow him to start fresh somewhere else. "First and foremost, the Browns would like to thank Brandon and his agent for being true professionals," new general manager Ray Farmer said. "The circumstances in which he found himself were not easy for him or the team. After discussions with Brandon and his agent, wed like to give him the ability to pursue other opportunities." Weedens release was quickly followed by the Browns cutting ties with Campbell, who was due a $250,000 roster bonus on Thursday. Campbell had some positive moments but not enough of them for the Browns, who signed the 32-year-old veteran as a free agent last March. "We appreciate Jasons contributions to the Browns in 2013," Farmer said. "Hes a respected veteran player in this league. We felt like at this time, early in the free-agency period, we would give him a better opportunity to move forward. We wish Jason the best in his future endeavours." As for their future, the Browns are expected to draft a quarterback in Mays draft. They own the No. 4 overall pick and its possible Texas A&Ms Johnny Manziel, Central Floridas Blake Bortles or Louisvilles Teddy Bridgewater could be available when the Browns are on the clock. However, they may want to wait and take a quarterback later in the draft to groom behind Hoyer. Soon after dumping Weeden and Campbell, the Browns welcomed Whitner, Dansby and Trufant, who beamed smiles as they posed for photos with new Browns coach Mike Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer. The Browns entered free agency $49 million under the salary cap, but bit off a chunk by giving Whitner a four-year, $28 million deal and Dansby one worth $24 million over four years. Its a homecoming for Whitner, who grew up in Cleveland played at Ohio State. "Its not often you can play high school, college and in the NFL in the same state," said Whitner, who spent the past three years in San Francisco and is excited for a chance to spend more time with two young children who live in Cleveland. "I know the history of this city; I know the history of this football team. I know it recently hasnt been good, but I know with a lot of hard work, a lot of good leadership and a lot of good football, physical football, we can change this thing around." Farmer excused himself after introducing the players, saying "theres more work to be done." The Browns were interested in signing lock-down cornerback Darrelle Revis, but after he reportedly agreed to a one-year contract with New England, Farmer may turn his focus to the offence in the coming days. He signed Cincinnati slot receiver Andrew Hawkins to an offer sheet on Tuesday, and the Bengals have five days to match it or lose the speedy wideout. Also, the Browns still dont know what will happen with Pro Bowl centre Alex Mack. The team placed its transition tag on Mack last week, and now must wait to see if hes offered a contract by other teams. The Browns also are reportedly interested in running back Ben Tate, who rushed for 771 yards and four touchdowns with Houston last season. Cleveland has been in the market for a feature back since trading Trent Richardson to Indianapolis. Jonathan Allen Redskins Jersey .

Pernell McPhee Redskins Jersey .Y. - The Philadelphia Eagles game at Green Bay against the Packers on Nov.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Dallas Keuchel got plenty of sleep, did extra cardio work and stayed constantly hydrated over the last few days to prepare for his start on a scorching afternoon. After all that work, not even the majors most productive offence could keep Keuchel from a dominant victory for the Houston Astros. Keuchel took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning, and the Astros ended the Los Angeles Angels 10-game winning streak with a 6-1 victory Sunday. Keuchel (11-9) faced the minimum 21 batters from the major league-leading Angels through seven innings on a rare 100-degree day at the Big A, overpowering a lineup that has scored a big league-best 728 runs. "I did the necessary precautions during the week to get myself ready for a day like this," Keuchel said. "I knew it was going to be hot, (so) I was just trying to take care of my body, and getting a bunch of rest and staying hydrated. Thats all you can do, and then hope to do your job well." The left-hander yielded three late hits, giving up David Freeses RBI single in the eighth on his 114th and final pitch. Mike Trouts one-out single in the seventh was the first hit for the Angels, who fell one victory short of matching the longest winning streak in franchise history, set during the clubs fourth season in 1964. Los Angeles (93-56) is cruising toward its first AL West title since 2009. The Angels scored 86 runs during their winning streak while running away with the division lead, but their hot run ended on a stifling day in Orange County. "Weve been swinging the bat great, and today we were having great at-bats," Trout said. "But sometimes youre going to run into a guy thats throwing strikes and keeping us off-balance." Keuchel, who fell one out shy of a shutout at Anaheim in May, is a consummate ground-ball pitcher who has emerged as one of the ALs best left-handers in his third big league season. Throwing strikes and forcing repeated groundouts, he retired the first 15 Angels before Chris Iannetta drew a full-count walk leading off the sixth.dddddddddddd. "Hes a competitor," Houston interim manager Tom Lawless said. "Hes not giving in. He can get behind in the count, but when his sinker is going ... he can shut them down, changing speeds and moving the ball around." Gregorio Petit hit a three-run homer, Robbie Grossman added a two-run single and Jake Marisnick had three hits for the Astros, who have won nine of 13. Hector Santiago (5-8) couldnt get an out in the third inning of his first loss in 13 starts and three relief appearances since June 15. Los Angeles lost for the first time since Sept. 4, also against Houston. The Angels magic number for clinching the AL West stayed at four with Oaklands win at Seattle. Santiago gave up five hits and five walks, including just the second homer of Petits 51-game career into the bullpen in left. "It was actually a pretty good pitch," Santiago said. "I went back and watched it, and it was down and in. But it was a 3-1 count, and I had to throw a fastball for a strike. He was probably cheating, and he got it." DROPPING IN Lawless hated to see Keuchels no-hit bid end on Trouts hit: "Just a broken-bat, lazy blooper that found the Bermuda Triangle out there," he said. ASTRONAUT WOLOWITZ Actor Simon Helberg from CBS "The Big Bang Theory" filmed a scene for an upcoming episode of televisions top-rated sitcom on the Angel Stadium field before the game. The joke involved a working model of the Mars Rover attempting to throw out the first pitch. TRAINERS ROOM Astros: RHP Brad Peacock has been scratched from Mondays game against Cleveland with back soreness. Angels: Josh Hamilton still hasnt played since Sept. 4, but the cleanup hitter feels improvement in his injured shoulder. UP NEXT: Astros: Collin McHugh (9-9, 2.79) will move up one day to start in Peacocks place at home. Angels: Matt Shoemaker (15-4, 3.16) looks to extend his franchise rookie record for victories.
