Cleveland Browns Targeting Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie

They've already replaced Ward with Donte Whitner, who's much better in coverage. They also could be targeting another lockdown corner to pair with Haden. According to Mary Kay Calbot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Browns may be bring in Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie in for a visit:

The Browns have reportedly invited Pro Bowl cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to Cleveland for a free agent visit, but it remains to be seen if the two New York teams will let him out of the Big Apple.
