The Cleveland Browns will not exercise the option on fullback Andy Janovich’s contract and allow Janovich to become a free agent on March 16.
The move was first reported by Ian Rapoport at NFL Network.
The #Browns are not exercising the option on starting FB Andy Janovich’s contract, per source, making him a free agent when the league year begins. A starter his entire career and a Pro Bowl alternate this year, Janovich is one of the best at his position.

The decision was part of a busy day for general manager Andrew Berry as he also placed the franchise tag on tight end David Njoku; and tendered contracts to exclusive rights free agent wide receiver Ja’Marcus Bradley, offensive lineman Michael Dunn and offensive lineman Blake Hance.
