A league source tells us that the Browns already have parted ways with G.M. Phil Savage. It’s not clear whether he quit or whether he was fired. The move was widely expected. It has come faster than anyone anticipated. Some reports suggested that Savage would be given a chance to stick around in a reduced role; it currently appears that there will be a clean break. The next question becomes whether the Browns will try to stiff Savage with respect to his buyout. Arguably, Savage’s e-mail exchange with a disgruntled fan could provide the Browns grounds for terminating Savage with cause. And Savage doesn’t seem to have the temperament to fight such a decision via the filing of a formal grievance with the Commissioner’s office.
