17th May, 2005 - 1:54 pm
The Plain Dealer - After talks of a hold-out, Browns running back Reuben Droughns is back in Cleveland and working out with the team again.

"Right now, I'm not worrying about the business side of it," he said Monday night by phone. "All I'm concerned about is learning the system and getting in shape for the season."

Droughns is under contract for $950,000 this season and $1.15 million in 2006. Asked whether he's prepared to play under his current contract: "I'm not ready to comment on that.

But a new contract still looms heavy on Droughns mind. He is willing to look past it for the time being and shift his focus on preparing for the 2005-06 season.

"I definitely feel I'll be around for the quarterback school [starting May 23] and the minicamp [June 13-15]," he said. "I'm committed to doing everything I can to get ready to play."

Unfortunately for Browns fans, this issue is most likely not over. [READ]
