Browns face free agent season amid sludge and doubt
Ingraham laments Cleveland Browns leadership as free agency opens. He likens life in Cleveland to a polar outpost and notes players avoid the team, Marvin Jones signs with Detroit, and the regime du jour may be the Three Stooges. He urges patience as the 3-13 club rebuilds with analytics and draft ahead.

Browns Lose Key Free Agents In Early 2016 Shakeup
In the early 2016 league year the Browns saw Mack depart to the Falcons under a five year deal worth about 47.5 million with sizable guarantees. Schwartz left for the Chiefs on a five year roughly 33 million contract. Gipson and Benjamin also exited, joining Jacksonville and San Diego respectively, while Jones signed with Detroit. The exodus leaves Hue Jackson’s Browns scrambling to rebuild through the draft and new free agents.

Browns keep Johnny Manziel past league year start
The Browns delayed releasing Johnny Manziel to wait for a possible trade offer with a conditional draft pick. With two years left on his rookie deal, the team would save cash if moved, but a trade seems unlikely given his poor production and off field history. If no deal emerges, Manziel should be released by Friday.
