Browns Release LB Mychal Kendricks After Insider Trading Charges Surface

This year’s season finale of ‘Hard Knocks’ on HBO should certainly be an entertaining one and especially now that it will likely include the Cleveland Browns decision to release linebacker Mychal Kendricks on Wednesday following him being charged with insider trading by federal prosecutors to make nearly $1.2 million in illegal profits on four major investments four years ago.

Browns general manager John Dorsey released a statement Wednesday evening in which he addressed the reason why the team decided to terminate the contract of Kendricks, a former second-round draft pick.
