Ex-Raven Baxter agrees to deal with Browns

Browns defensive back Gary Baxter, determined to become the first NFL player to make it back from two torn patellar tendons, signed a one-year free agent contract with Cleveland on Thursday.

I really wish him well just like any other player, but maaaaan that is a task ahead! Jerry Rice came back with one, but TWO ? I mean, will this guy ever job around with his grandchildren ? This is the straightest course for knee replacement surgery I have heard of!
All the best, Baxter, all the best. Wooo.

Gary Baxter was a great Raven. He was a good corner but would have easily been a pro bowl safety. I guess he went for the bigger money. He played great for the Ravens and has not had much success with the Browns. GOOD LUCK GARY!!!

gotta say i wish the man never left for Cleveland. If we had Baxter and Reed at safety all these years it would have been a beautiful thing. the guy was practically bulletproof during his time here.

???....Gary Baxter sukked!!........got beat constantly....slow...was afraid to "HIT" big like Eddie "put em on the ground REED".........jeez.....di d you guys just start watching this team??.....Tjis was one guy i was glad to see the Clowns get.......now they waste a roster spot on someone that was DONE....4 yrs ago........pathetic......

I wish him the best on his recovery, but in all honesty, he was getting destroyed over and over again in Baltimore. I can't count how many times I watched other teams target his side...and burn him. He did play pretty well in the beginning, though.

Now...as a safety, I might have thought a little higher of him on the field.

guys a freakin nuts. i only saw owens and Mcnabb burn him and they were burning everyone else that year too. Baxter was a beast who played out of postion.

Baxter was very good in the beginning but was slower than the others. He was tough though, and you gotta wish a guy well that goes through two torn patellas. Frankly, it sounds impossible to me, but I wish him good luck.

By the way, just because he wasn't as good as Ed Reed doesn't make him bad. Ed Reed is probably the best guy at his position in the whole NFL.

I just hope he dosen't become a cry baby like all the Browns fans. "Get off our site, its just for Browns fans, stay on your own site- Wah wah wah!

[Hmmmm]

I really wish Gary Baxter well. He's displaying alot of courage right now...I admire that!

What has Baxter done since he left the Ravens?

I agree, he has sucked since he left the Ravens.
