Cleveland Browns:

The only way Johnny Manziel starts over Josh McCown (NFL Spin Zone):

NFL News:
Running back no longer a position of strength in Buffalo (BuffaLow Down):
"The most recent, and surprising, name to join the casualty list is Karlos Williams. As reported by Tyler Dunne of The Buffalo News, the 22-year old was hospitalized on Tuesday with an injury. At this stage, it isn’t exactly clear what is wrong with Williams. However, Dunne indicates it is serious, and the Davenport, Florida native is set to miss multiple weeks."
Jets bring in Matt Flynn as quarterback insurance (NFL.com):

Cardinals agree to one-year deal with Chris Johnson (Raising Zona):
"After being out of work since the end of last season, Chris Johnson finally has a new home with the Arizona Cardinals. It’s uncertain whether the signing is to bolster the running back depth or whether it’s just to light a fire under Andre Ellington or David Johnson."
Cleveland Sports:
LeBron James continues to hint at Space Jam 2 (WFNY):
"While he could simply be trying to fuel the fire in an otherwise quiet offseason, at least on a relative scale, LeBron James continues to hint at being a part of a sequel to the mid-90s hoops-filled cartoon Space Jam."
Are the Cavs running out of roster spots for J.R. Smith? (King James Gospel):
"There seems to be pressure being out on J.R. Smith to get back with the team and it’s coming in the form of the Cavaliers signing players not named J.R. Smith to contracts."
