'Under the current regime, the Browns have demonstrated that they’re willing to take chances on players with checkered pasts, and try to help them become upstanding citizens as well as productive football players,' Mary Kay Cabot writes.
They got their answer Wednesday morning when video surfaced of Winfrey threatening to hit a woman and her friend, and according to what the victim told police, showing them his gun.
Winfrey was already on thin ice, and the Browns didn’t hesitate to cut him on Wednesday morning after seeing the Instagram video and hearing him say, among other disturbing things, “I will smack the — out of you both.”Winfrey was benched for three games last season for maturity issues, and had the assault arrest in April. He had a protective order against him, and was forced to wear an electronic monitoring device until he completed the diversion program.
Browns GM Andrew Berry doesn’t part with his draft picks easily, and Winfrey is only the third one cut out of 24. The others were 2020 fifth-round safety Richard LeCounte, and 2022 seventh-round center Dawson Deaton.
