It may be wise to take this with a grain of salt. It has been reported that the Browns do intend to get rid of Osweiler one way or another, who was acquired essentially as a means of buying a draft pick. He’s still on the roster, so Cleveland is essentially obligated to acknowledge that, but we’ll see if that changes after the draft — or if Brown is telling the truth and Osweiler will get the opportunity to supplant Cody Kessler.
