Browns tried trading for Jim Harbaugh o_O

Lol... Of course they're going to deny it.

Both Mortensen and Schefter are saying it is true and that they actually came close to pulling the trigger on the trade. The Niners are in contract extension talks with Harbaugh, and he wants way more than they're willing to pay right now.

 

It's noise. I bet the real story is browns said they'd love to have harbaugh as coach. The end

 

Where there is smoke there is fire my friend

Browns owner Jimmy Haslam confirmed at the Combine that his team did attempt to acquire Jim Harbaugh from the 49ers earlier this offseason.
The 49ers' front office has vehemently denied talks occurred, but Haslam didn't back down when pressed by USA Today's Jarrett Bell. "There was an opportunity there, and it didn't materialize," said Haslam. It's entirely unclear what sort of compensation San Francisco was seeking, but pretty clear at this point that the Niners may be headed for a divorce with Harbaugh, probably after next season. It's worth noting Dolphins owner Stephen Ross pursued Harbaugh aggressively when he was leaving Stanford. Current Fins GM Dennis Hickey and coach Joe Philbin are believed to be a lame-duck pairing entering 2014.

"The Browns reached out to me, and we had no interest in pursuing it," York said told King.

I don't know if the fact the Browns tried to reach out is newsworthy. Could say the Titans reached about trading for Tom Brady. But who would care?

 

The Bucs traded for Chucky Gruden

 

That's what I thought as well, the Gruden trade ended being able to trade for coaches.

 

I'll try and get on the bleacher report for you as soon as possible
