After being charged Wednesday with trading cash kickbacks, NFL tickets, and invitations to exclusive events for insider stock tips netting him roughly $1.2 million in profits, the former Eagle was released by the Cleveland Browns just months after being cut by the Eagles and signed by Cleveland.
Browns' GM John Dorsey released the following statement:
"Prior to signing Mychal, we were informed that there was a financial situation that he had been involved with in 2014. We were told Mychal had fully cooperated with investigators as a victim. From what was communicated at that time and based on the numerous questions we asked and further due diligence on our part, including checking with the league office, there was no information discovered that conveyed otherwise.
