The Facts: Browns GM Phil Savage confirmed Thursday night that that he contacted Kansas City GM Carl Peterson about Green during this week's NFL meetings in Phoenix. "I spoke to a number of teams/GMs about players/picks including KC," Savage said. "Bottom line, due diligence on a player who might be able to help us -- nothing imminent or on the table."

Diehards Line:That Savage would approach another team about a proven QB is an interesting development for the Browns, who own the No. 3 overall pick in next month's draft. Savage had said previously that the team would be willing to go into training camp next summer without a veteran and allow Charlie Frye and Derek Anderson to compete for the starting job. There's also the possibility the Browns could wind up taking either LSU's JaMarcus Russell or Notre Dame's Brady Quinn if things fell into place in the first round.
