Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Based on post-draft comments by team president Mike Holmgren and GM Tom Heckert, it's sounding more and more like the Browns intend to keep McCoy on the roster to compete with Brandon Weeden. As NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal explained, the Browns can't get anything for him in a trade unless some injury pops up on another team during training camp. It appears the Browns won't push McCoy out the door and he's clearly not pushing to leave. Rosenthal went on to suggest it's all a little awkward because the Browns clearly
see Weeden as their starter. Still, it's hard to imagine McCoy getting a better chance of securing a starting assignment by moving on.
