The Browns confirmed reports that their GM has parted ways with the organization with a statement on their website that read:

Cleveland Browns General Manager George Kokinis is no longer actively involved with the organization. In response to rumors and reports that Kokinis was escorted out of the building today, the Browns deny those reports. In the interest of protecting the parties involved we will withhold further comment.

His departure after less than a year on the job means that the organization now owes more than $20 Million to ex-front office and head coaches that were given contracts with the team in recent seasons.
