BROWNS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Player chooses law school over the NFL

The slightly humorless person in the picture is Andrew Sweat. Former Ohio State linebacker, undrafted free agent who signed with the Cleveland Browns, and now future law student. That’s right, instead of hopefully playing in the NFL, he’s going back to school (no Rodney Dangerfield in this one, though). Why no NFL in the future? [...]

Rookie LB Andrew Sweat chooses law school over NFL because of concussions

As an undrafted free agent, former Ohio State linebacker Andrew Sweat already had the odds stacked against him in terms of NFL success. He was signed by the Cleveland Browns following the draft, but Sweat will not be making the final roster come late August. In fact, he is not going to try. According to the Columbus Dispatch, Sweat has decided to attend law school rather than pursuing...

Adonis Thomas catches on with Browns

The Cleveland Browns already added one rookie running back, and now they have another. Undrafted free agent Adonis Thomas impressed enough during his tryout to earn a contract and an invitation to training camp. The Browns cut running back Armond Smith to make room. Thomas still has an uphill battle to make the final roster, competing with Montario Hardesty, Brandon Jackson and Chris...

A Farewell to Armond Smith

I don’t know if it is unique to Cleveland that Armond Smith could be such a big topic of conversation, but it sure feels that way. Smith was cut in favor of Adonis Smith yesterday after apparently getting beat out in rookie camp with shorts on. This morning on Kiley and Booms I heard Bud Shaw once again mention that at least we wouldn’t see Pat Shurmur running Armond...

Cleveland Browns fans: Dealing with the five stages of grief.

Browns make roster moves

The Browns have cut running back Armond Smith and signed linebacker Emmanuel Acho, one of their 11 draft picks. Smith made Cleveland's roster last season as an undrafted free agent. He played in three games and spent 11 weeks on the team's practice squad. Acho, who started 48 career games at Texas, was selected in the sixth round. His signing leaves running back Trent Richardson...

It’s safe to say that the Cleveland Browns coaching staff is in love with Trent Richardson

We knew that the Cleveland Browns liked Trent Richardson a lot. Heck, they basically traded their draft away to get the man. And though the greatest player to ever put on a Cleveland Browns jersey thinks Richardson is just “ordinary”, the Browns coaching staff couldn’t disagree more. And after what Richardson showed them at last weekend’s rookie mini-camp, the Browns coaching...

Keeping Perspective on Browns Rookie Camp Storylines

I was unable to make it to rookie camp this weekend to see and behold the skills of Brandon Weeden and Trent Richardson. In some ways that’s probably a good thing. I learned last year in regular training camp that it is quite a vacuum to look at football. Without some serious perspective it is easy to think the team is far better or far worse than reality. That doesn’...

Browns to Bring Back the Brown Jerseys

Having worn white-on-white for all 16 contests in 2011, the Cleveland Browns will revert back to typical gridiron style and look to bring back the brown version of their uniform for the 2012 season. ESPNCleveland’s Tony Grossi reports that Browns head coach Pat Shurmur hinted toward the team wearing their brown counterparts for at least four of the team’s eight regular...

Browns cornerback Joe Haden takes high school senior to prom (Video)

When people dish out date requests to athletes such as Ricky Rubio or Tim Tebow over the Internet, they often turn up fruitless. But that wasn’t the case when Ohio teen Joyce Grendel — through Twitter, no less — managed to get Browns cornerback Joe Haden to take her to her senior prom on Friday. When Haden pulled up in his white Lamborghini, Grendel, 18, started...

Browns conclude first rookie mini-camp

BEREA The Browns concluded their rookie minicamp with one practice Sunday and Pat Shurmur was pleased with what was accomplished. It was a good and productive minicamp, Shurmur said. It was a very good start, but we have a long way to go. Shurmur said it served as an orientation on what will transpire in the coming days and months. Tomorrow, these (rookies) will be in the off...

The Cleveland Browns selected DT John Hughes. Divine intervention, or dumb luck?

When the Cleveland Browns deviated from the game-plan during the 2012 NFL Draft to select defensive tackle John Hughes (Cincinnati) in the third round many Cleveland fans simultaneously cringed and chucked their remotes at the television in disgust. But it seems that it may have been divine intervention that compelled the Cleveland Brass to select him. Or at the very least, it was...
