FILE - In this Dec. 16, 2018, file photo, Washington Redskins offensive tackle Trent Williams (71) sets up to block in front of Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (91) during the second half of an NFL football game in Jacksonville, Fla. Browns general manager John Dorsey acknowledged having “a few conversations” lately with Redskins GM Bruce Allen. With the trading deadline approaching, Dorsey could be tempted to improve Cleveland’s offensive line and the Redskins are at an impasse with seven-time Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams, who hasn’t played this season due to a contract holdout. As he finished his news conference Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2019, Dorsey was asked if he has asked Allen about trading Williams.“It takes two to tango,” Dorsey said as he left the podium.(AP Photo/Phelan M.

File-This May 2, 2019 photo shows of Jamie Gillan of the Cleveland Browns NFL football team. A Browns undrafted rookie punter, Gillan, nicknamed “The Scottish Hammer,” has beaten out veteran Britton Colquitt. Gillan won the starting job with solid performances in the past two preseason games, but it’s still surprising the Browns would take him over Colquitt, who was a Pro Bowl alternate last season and has spent nine seasons in the NFL. He won a Super Bowl ring with Denver. (AP Photo, File)

This Nov. 19, 2018, file photo shows Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt in action during the second half of an NFL football game against the Los Angeles Rams in Los Angeles. The lasting image of Kareem Hunt’s second NFL season wasn’t him stiff-arming a linebacker, shedding a tackle or barreling over a cornerback at the goal line for a touchdown. It was him pushing a woman and then kicking her while she was defenseless on the floor. That disturbing moment caught on surveillance video mortified the sports world. The Cleveland Browns believe it was a random act by a young man who feels remorse and deserves a second chance. (AP Photo/Kelvin Kuo, File)
