Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported the Browns had actually been involved in trade talks to acquire Mare, but as Beacon Journal staffer Patrick McManamon asked, why? Mare, working in conditions more favorable than those he's find in Cleveland, has a career accuracy rate of 80.9 percent. Current Browns kicker Phil Dawson has made 82.1 percent. Mare has made 76-of-115 kicks from 40 yards and beyond (66.1 percent); Dawson has made 40-of-61 (65.5 percent). ... Mare has done better than Dawson in one area: Touchbacks on kickoffs.
