Rumors are that the Browns have been insisting teams take on his entire 18my/yr salary. So they are asking for draft picks and to take on his salary, and no one is biting.
If they don't find a sucker, they'll release him whenever it lessens the financial hit (June 1?). I've seen several talking heads discussing this. I am sure there's something out there that can be googled.
Oh and he'll never play for the Browns again. He's too emotionally involved and who could blame him after how he was treated.

yeah it would be a mistake for the browns to try and play him lol.. They need to just eat the cost and let him go.
Guy potentially put his career on the line to play all last season badly injured. They can at least let him find a new team
