It was a tough day to see veteran wide out Andrew Hawkins released from the Browns, but as has been noted, it was a mutual decision as the sides have been talking about the release so Hawkins can go after a title.
The Browns and Andrew Hawkins have talked the last few weeks. He made the hard call to ask for his release. Wants to chase a championship.
