Cleveland Browns Fire General Manager Ray Farmer
The Cleveland Browns have officially fired general manager Ray Farmer, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport:
#Browns source: GM Ray Farmer met with ownership before the game & was relieved of his duties. It's over.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 3, 2016
Farmer has been with the franchise since 2013, serving as assistant general manager for a season before becoming the GM in 2014.
He was suspended for the first four games of this season after a NFL investigation proved that he was sending texts to coaching staff discussing play-calling during games, which violated the league's electronic device policy.
