Browns coach Eric Mangini says it was difficult to part with former Browns linebacker Kamerion Wimbley. The Cleveland Browns traded Kamerion Wimbley to the Oakland Raiders for a third-round pick. The Browns went for the future as they used their third-round pick for quarterback Colt McCoy.
It will take awhile for McCoy to payoff for the Browns, but Wimbley's recent play could mean some huge dividends for the Raiders this coming season.
It was only a preaseason game, but Wimbley made a big impression with four sacks against the Chicago Bears last weekend. But what is impressive is that Wimbley only played in the first half.
Wimbley, an outside linebacker, turned the corner at will and he even got past a double-team for one of his sacks.
On SFgate.com, Vittorio Tafur writes:
"I got one early and I was energized," Wimbley said. "I was able to use some successful moves one-on-one, and I came free. I have never had four sacks in a half before."
Wimbley, 26, definitely got the attention of Browns fans as well. They have to be wondering why Cleveland gave up a guy who had 11 sacks in 2006 as a rookie for a third-round pick.
