The Cleveland Browns announced today that they have terminated the contract of defensive back Kenny Wright.

The Browns gave no reason for the announcement, which comes less than 24 hours after reports surfaced that Wright was arrested for possession of marijuana in March.  Wright was also arrested in April, but he had managed to keep the March arrest under wraps.

Under the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy, players are required to inform their employers when they’ve been arrested.  It is not clear when or whether Wright informed the Browns of the March arrest.  The April arrest was widely reported in the media (as was his hideous mug shot) and the Browns obviously learned of that one shortly after it happened whether Wright contacted the team or not.

The 30-year-old Wright played seven games last season, starting one.  His multiple arrests make it possible that he’ll be suspended, although that won’t matter if the rest of the league decides that his production on the field isn’t worth the off-field problems he brings with him.
