Good to be a Davis

It's good to be a Davis in Browns country.
Butch Davis is being paid $12 million to not coach the Browns. He wouldn't have gotten that good a severance package had he led the Browns to multiple Super Bowl titles.
(The moral of the story: if you can't be good, then suck so bad that your team will be willing to do anything to get rid of you.)
Monday, Butch Davis's second-round pick in 2002, receiver Andre Davis, had an equally cat-like landing after being pushed off the table. The deep threat with the fragile ankles was traded to the New England Patriots for a reported fifth-round pick.
The trade of Davis had been long-rumored. He was sliding down the receiver depth chart, and with the addition of Braylon Edwards and the emergence of Antonio Bryant and Josh Cribbs, Davis was quite obviously being phased out in Cleveland.
We should all be so lucky to be phased out the way Andre Davis was. Yesterday, he was a member of a team trying to once again claw their way out of the primordial soup of rebuilding. Today, he's on a team that has a good chance of winning an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl title in February.
Somehow, I don't think placement on the depth chart is going to be as big an issue for for Davis now. He could probably be talked into being Tom Brady's personal helmet waxer if it means a Super Bowl ring.
Davis is eligible for free agency next spring and a chance to cash in with a big contract, one the Browns had no intention of offering him. He will have plenty of spotlight time in the form of appearances on national telecasts to increase his profile. If his ankles and toes hold up.
He'll also have the incredible healing powers of Bill Belichick at his disposal. One laying on of the hands from St. Bill, and no one will be surprised if Andre Davis morphs into Jerry Rice with the leaping ability of LeBron James.
