Johnny Manziel Expected For April Workouts

Mar 24, 2015 11:21 AM

The Cleveland Browns expect Johnny Manziel to participate in offseason workouts beginning April 20 after he completes two months of rehab.

Manziel checked into a facility on Jan. 28 in an effort to "be a better family member, friend and teammate," family attorney Brad Beckworth said in a statement Feb. 3.

The Browns do not expect rehab to keep Manziel from competing for the starting quarterback job in 2015. Manziel will compete with Josh McCown, Connor Shaw and the recently acquired Thad Lewis at quarterback.

Jimmy Haslam Could Swap Browns' Ownership For Titans

Mar 23, 2015 5:24 PM

The Tennessee Titans are getting closer to being sold and the possibility of Jimmy Haslam trading his ownership of the Cleveland Browns is possible.

Haslam badly wanted to own the Titans in his home state of Tennessee, but he chose several years ago to instead purchase the Browns when they became available.

Dave Tepper is considered the frontrunner to buy the Titans. Tepper is a Pittsburgh guy who owns five percent of the Steelers.

"Don't ignore the possibility of a swap with the Browns when that time comes," said one source who deals directly with many ownership groups.
