BROWNS Jamir Miller could re-sign

The linebacker's agent plans to speak to Cleveland team president Carmen Policy.
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Jamir Miller's agent remains hopeful the linebacker will re-sign with the Cleveland Browns, who appear to be the only team interested in the former Pro Bowl linebacker.
Leigh Steinberg also said Miller, who sat out last season with an Achilles' tendon injury, will explore other options if he can't reach a deal with the Browns.
"It's May," Steinberg said Tuesday. "There are a couple of months left [until training camp]."
Retirement talk
Steinberg also downplayed a report that Miller was considering retirement.
"I don't think there has ever been a player, who after suffering a serious injury, doesn't contemplate retirement," Steinberg said. "It's premature to talk about that."
Steinberg said retirement did come up in a "freewheeling discussion" with Browns president Carmen Policy, but Miller has not given it serious thought and plans to play this season.
Policy was not immediately available for comment.
One of the proposals the Browns have offered the 29-year-old Miller is a one-year deal worth about $1.65 million in bonus and salary with playing and performance incentives which double the package.
Steinberg plans to speak with Policy this week to see if the sides can reach an agreement. He said Miller has no reservations about returning to Cleveland despite the Browns saying they might use him only as a pass-rushing specialist.
"The bridges are not burned," Steinberg said. "We just have not been able to reach a contract accord with the Browns or anyone else that we think is appropriate for Jamir."
Free agency was humbling for Miller, who made the Pro Bowl in 2001 and is the lone Cleveland player to be selected since the team's return in 1999.
Few offers
Only the Browns and Baltimore Ravens made contract offers to the 29-year-old Miller. The Ravens removed theirs after taking defensive end Terrell Suggs with the 10th overall pick in the draft April 26.
The Browns, who released Miller and 2002 starters Dwayne Rudd and Earl Holmes after last season, drafted one linebacker.
Steinberg rebutted a recent statement by Policy, who believes Miller overestimated his worth in the free agency market. Steinberg thinks there might be more teams interested in Miller after June 1 when free agency resumes.
"It was only a year ago that Jamir made the Pro Bowl and had 13 sacks," Steinberg said. "Obviously, because of Jamir's injury there are some questions in people's minds. But one of the most difficult things to find is a defensive player who can sack the passer."
Cleveland's sack totals dropped from 43 in 2002 to 28 without Miller last season.
