ESPN Cleveland reports the Browns are prepared to move on from FB Owen Marecic if he fails to impress in training camp. |
Marecic's roster spot is in jeopardy for the second straight offseason. He appeared in 10 games in 2012, but has struggled as a lead blocker and could be replaced by Brad Smelley or Kellen Davis. The Browns are also considering moving Chris Ogbonnaya to fullback. |

Sun Feb 10 2013 | 09:19 | Browns FB Marecic's roster spot in jeopardy |
Browns FB Owen Marecic's roster spot appears to be in jeopardy for the second straight season. |
Marecic appeared in ten games in 2012, but he lost his starting gig and will be "hard-pressed to get it back," according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Marecic was a 2010 fourth-round pick out of Stanford, and the Browns could turn back to the draft for fullback help. They also have H-back Brad Smelley on the roster. |

Sun May 20 2012 | 10:27 | FB Marecic's roster spot could be in jeopardy |
Browns FB Owen Marecic's roster spot could be in jeopardy following the team's selection of Brad Smelley in April's draft. |
Marecic is more of a lead blocker, whereas Smelley is a smaller pass-catcher. With Trent Richardson in the fold, the team will want to keep a strong lead blocker in town, but they could unload the incumbent Marecic if Smelley shows he's a capable battering ram. Although it's unlikely, Marecic could be converted to linebacker, a position he played at Stanford. |

Mon Apr 30 2012 | 14:50 | Browns get a haul in 2011 Julio Jones trade |
Via their 2011 trade down with the Falcons, the Browns ultimately picked up FB Owen Marecic, QB Brandon Weeden, WR Greg Little, and NT Phil Taylor. |
The 118th pick in the 2012 draft was also acquired from Atlanta, though the Browns used it in their one-spot trade up for Trent Richardson. While the jury is still out on all the players acquired, at first glance it appears to be quite a haul. Jones is going to be the best player in the deal of course, but the trade may work out well for both sides. The Browns are building a roster. |
