The report said the Browns felt perhaps he was a little small and too focused on showing how fast he could run. As someone who grew up in Cleveland, here’s what I have to say: Quit talking nonsense. Judge by actions, not words. And the Browns made a hell of an offer to St. Louis for the No. 2 pick and then complained when they didn’t receive a chance to counter and make a sweeter offer. That tells me one thing: They liked Griffin a lot. Perhaps they now love Brandon Weeden, and that’s fine. But don’t try to convince everyone you didn’t like the other guy. If that were the case, then there would have been zero trade talk.

I wouldn't believe this for one second. I read the same article on NFL.com yesterday about this. Browns GM Mike Holmgren was angry that the Rams traded the No. 2 overall pick to the Redskins instead of the Browns. In fact, Cleveland Browns officials whined about it after it happened.
