The Browns are not expected to use their franchise tag on Peyton Hillis, according to a report. Cleveland would still like to sign the 26-year-old running back before the free-agent period begins on March 13. After breaking out for 1,177 yards rushing and 477 yards receiving in 2010, Hillis spent much of last season squabbling over his contract, then got hurt and played in only 10 games, finishing with 587 yards.
