This is why the Browns are considered the stupid fucks of the
NFL.
They hand a contract to a fucking pot addict who can't figure
out that it's time to put down the pot pipe and pick up a big
payday check.
That is what you call negro stupid.
CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Browns on Thursday waived wide
receiver Antonio Callaway, who is facing a second suspension for
violating the league's substance-abuse policy.
Callaway's agent, Malki Kawa, tweeted that Callaway is facing a
10-game suspension for taking a tainted CBD supplement. The
receiver is appealing the decision by the league, which has yet
to officially announce the suspension.
"I stand by (Antonio Callaway) and know first hand all the
improvements he's made in his life," Kawa tweeted. "The fact
that a tainted cbd supplement is responsible for a 10game
suspension is unfortunate and hopefully the @NFLPA will be able
to fix this in the new cba."
Callaway was a healthy inactive for Sunday's win against the
Bills after showing up late to a game. His replacement in the
lineup, wide receiver Rashard Higgins, wound up catching the
game-winning touchdown.
A source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Callaway was late again
this week.
Asked why the team waived him, a source said to ESPN's Josina
Anderson: "Too many issues."
But the receiver's troubles began far before that.
Callaway was suspended for the first four games of this season
for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. He tested
positive for marijuana at the 2018 NFL scouting combine, and was
cited for possession of marijuana while driving with a suspended
license last August. Police also found bullets and a gun part
while searching his vehicle. The possession charge was dropped
at a hearing on Jan. 25, and Callaway pleaded guilty to
operating without a valid license and speeding.
While at Florida, Callaway was suspended for the entire 2017
season for allegedly using stolen credit card information to
fund bookstore accounts. He was also cited for misdemeanor
marijuana possession and possession of drug equipment during a
traffic stop by Gainesville police in May 2017.
The Browns drafted Callaway anyway, then backed him after the
four-game suspension was announced, with general manager John
Dorsey declaring that the franchise would stand by him as long
as he was "committed to taking advantage of the resources made
available to him by our club and the league to help him become
the best version of himself as a person first and foremost."
Yet earlier this week after Callaway was late, Kitchens admitted
he didn't know if the second-year player "had gotten the message
or not."
The Browns used Callaway's roster spot to activate rookie
offensive lineman Drew Forbes, who had been on injured reserve.
Callaway had only eight catches for 89 yards this season.
