Seems a bit late for this announcement, but here is the release from the Browns this afternoon:

Browns Trent Richardson, anything but ordinary!
Despite being 0-2, the future of the Cleveland Browns appears to be bright. They displayed a “real” offensive performance against the Bengals and quarterback Brandon Weeden showed what he is capable of going 26/37 for 322 yards and tossing 2 TD passes and 0 interceptions. But the real bright spot for me was the 3rd overall pick from Alabama running back Trent Richardson.
