Troy Smith's agent, Ralph Cindrich, said the quarterback would be willing to "crawl" to Cleveland to play for the Browns.
The Browns aren't willing to "crawl" to Baltimore to pick up Troy Smith, as they have acquired Seneca Wallace from the Seattle Seahawks.
Wallace will be the No. 2 starter in Cleveland at the least, guaranteeing the release of either Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson. He will also be an excellent option in the wildcat offense with Josh Cribbs.
Unfortunately, Troy Smith's dreams have been thwarted. Despite the fact his "heart" is in Cleveland, the NFL is not based around the idea of "homecomings". Very few players in the league play even a year in their hometown.
Troy: grow a couple inches, start a few more games. Then, maybe you'll be worth your tender.
