The move doesn’t come as much of a surprise. While Hagg was the starting free safety when the season began, he quickly fell out of favor and really only reappeared out of necessity.

Hagg was drafted in the last round, so expectations for him were certainly tempered. Of course, Slaughter was drafted in the sixth round, so the Browns are still dealing with a position that could use a serious upgrade. They’re hoping that Slaughter is a late-round steal, which happens far less than any team cares to admit.

Nevertheless, this is a pretty basic move of a new front office inserting its own players into a new system.

With Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell on the roster, Hoyer will come in as the third-stringer, with a chance to move up the depth chart.

Weeden was surprised by the move but isn’t worried it, choosing instead to focus on himself and the fact that he currently has a lock on the starting spot.

Hoyer comes most recently from Arizona and general manager Mike Lombardi has never been shy in his affinity for him. Of course, that doesn’t mean anything if Weeden plays better this season.

It never hurts to have options, but a lot is going to have to happen for Hoyer to really get his chance.

This is the sixth lawsuit against Pilot Flying J, who have now hired Louis Freeh to work on the lawsuit. You will remember Freeh from his work on the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal and how Penn State University handled the entire situation. As expected, Penn State did not come out of it looking good and one wonders if the same fate awaits Haslam and Pilot Flying J.

Of course, Haslam has denied any wrongdoing or knowledge about what was going on, but the bigger concern is that each added lawsuit means more money out of his and the company’s pocket.

Some have wondered if this growing number of trials will be such a financial burden to Haslam that he might have to sell the Browns. For a man that rich, it simply doesn’t seem possible.

However, for peace of mind and – yet another – there may come a time when he needs to.
