Rucker was released by Cleveland on Tuesday, the first major move as the Browns change from a 4-3 defense to a multi-front system under new coach Rob Chudzinski and coordinator Ray Horton. A top free-agent signing by Cleveland last year, Rucker started a...

Chudzinski, who spent the past two seasons as Carolina's offensive coordinator, has been hired by the Browns as their sixth full-time coach since 1999. It's the third stint in Cleveland for Chudzinski, who worked with the Browns previously as an assistant. ...

So the Browns bailed. Oregon's visor-wearing coach isn't coming to Cleveland — or the NFL.

The same thing happened after seasons in 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2010. One day after another dismal, double-digit loss season ended, the Browns fired coach Pat Shurmur and GM Tom Heckert, the initial offseason moves by new owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner...

Try telling that to the Cleveland Browns. Manning threw for a season-high 339 yards and three touchdowns, two of which he zinged into impossibly tight windows to well-covered receivers, that pushed the Denver Broncos into a first-place tie in the AFC standings with a...

Not with the turnovers, penalties and blown chances. These weren't the Pittsburgh Steelers of old. And it had little to do with their 37-year-old quarterback.
