So much for being tough with Kellen Winslow. ESPN is reporting that the Browns will only require Winslow to repay $2 to $3 million of bonus money the team has already given last year’s first-round pick. Winslow also is due a $2 million bonus on July 15, but he’s not seeing a dime of that.
Add it up, and that’s $4 or $5 million, which qualifies as a slap on the wrist for Winslow considering his high-speed hobby could’ve cost him about $10 million in bonuses.
This report relies on some speculation. Frankly, $4-5 million is a pretty big hit. I think the Browns have to get money back, but I’m willing to wait and see how this plays out.
