Peyton Hillis
"Well before the 2011 NFL season was complete, signs began to emerge that the marriage between the Cleveland Browns and running back Peyton Hillis would end in divorce this offseason. That feeling hasn't changed in recent weeks, and in his assessment of the team's decisions on impending free agents this offseason, Tony Grossi of the Cleveland Plain Dealer opines that Hillis will be one of the players heading elsewhere. One interesting aspect raised by the scribe is just how far apart the two sides were in contract talks.
"Reportedly, Hillis was looking for $10 million in guarantees and the Browns were offering about $4 million," Grossi notes.
So who will be interested? ESPN AFC North blogger Jamison Hensley has a pair of logical destinations in mind:

I think we should go after him
Wee need a RB and I think he would match well with Mcgahee. Theyd be some tough bruisers play after play really wear a D down. He was also a pretty big fan favorite (and a huge favorite of mine) while he was here it’d be good to see him back.
10mil is a big paycheck for a guy
Who has only had one healthy year, known fumblitis issues, and rumored personal issues (with multiple teams).
That said, for the right price, he shown he can be an effective zoneblock runner… And Mcgahee is ancient.
I totally agree.
Hillis is a diva anyways, and I don’t think he’d mesh well with the current crop of players we have. I say let’s draft our very own bruiser.
Whatcha gonna do, brother, when the Broncos run wild on you!
