The Cleveland Browns find themselves in an unenviable position following the news that defensive end Desmond Bryant wants to be paid his full salary after suffering a season-ending injury.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to report that the Browns have met with Drew Rosenhaus, the agent that Bryant hired just last week, to talk about why the team should pay Bryant all or part of his $6 million salary after Bryant injured himself in an off-season, non-team workout.
As Mary Kay Cabot at cleveland.com points out, the Collective Bargaining Agreement is clear about what to do in cases like this: the Browns have no obligation to pay Bryant because he tore his pectoral muscle while working out on his own.
