Will Droughns be shown the money or the door?



We may get a good idea of the Browns plans to draft AP in a couple of weeks. The ABJ is reporting: one of the Browns' more interesting offseason decisions takes place in 15 days.

That's when a roster bonus due to running back Reuben Droughns is either paid or isn't.

If Droughns is paid the bonus, he stays with the Browns.

If Droughns is not paid the bonus, he becomes a free agent.

The rub with the money: It's $1.75 million, not a small amount. (The Browns would not confirm the figure).

That's a sum high enough that it will at least prompt discussion in Berea.

If Droughns is let go, it would probably signal the Browns' strong interest in drafting running back Adrian Peterson with their No. 3 pick. The Browns very well could decide that paying Peterson is better than paying Droughns.
