CHRIS JENNINGS ARRESTED

He has a 6th rounder trade value, if that. He will be released.

At least this makes deciding who our running backs are going to be much much easier

I think in this morning's paper Grossi was suggesting that the Browns were feeling satisfied for now at RB for this coming season, and would focus on the many other needs in the draft, unless of course something great RB-wise were to fall their way. Grossi was including Jennings as part of the picture, so I suppose this arrest really could have an impact on the draft.

we weren't gonna carry 5 RB's, and we still aren't going to. any RB drafted is PS fodder....

At least he didn't punch him with his dick.

CLEVELAND (AP)—Browns running back Chris Jennings(notes) has been released from jail while authorities determine whether to file charges over allegations he hit a bouncer outside a Cleveland nightclub.

Jennings was arrested early Saturday morning.

John O’Brien, a spokesman with the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department, says Jennings is accused of punching the bouncer in the mouth because he refused to allow Jennings’ friend inside without proper attire.

O’Brien says the case has been turned over to the county prosecutor’s office. It will determine whether to file an assault charge.

A message seeking comment was left Sunday for the Browns. It’s not clear whether Jennings has an attorney.

Jennings rushed for 220 yards and scored one touchdown as a rookie last season.

Cleveland Browns running back Chris Jennings(notes) has avoided potential assault charges after striking a deal with the bouncer at a Cleveland nightclub.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Jennings won't be charged with a crime.

That's because the bouncer didn't sign a criminal complaint.

Jennings allegedly punched the man on April 17 at a club called The Velvet Dog and was arrested on suspicion of assault.

For a young, promising reserve runner, this is a positive development as he battles for playing time with Jerome Harrison(notes) and Montario Hardesty(notes)

I can't say I was worried about it either way seeing as he will be camp fodder any how . He has as much chance of making this team as pac man jones.

Definitely a position of depth:

Harrison

Hardesty

Vickers

Hillis

Davis

Jennings

Am I forgetting anyone in the backfield? Maybe they can get Jennings on the practice squad. The guy scored a touchdown last year, after all.

[sisky fringo]

that's good news.

he's not as quick as Harrison and Davis but he is more powerful than they are. even with Hardesty and Hillis on the roster he's still a solid backup to have around for late season insurance and/or fresh playoff legs. stash him on the PS (if he's still eligible).

How can you say we jumped the gun?

Just because charges are not filed does not mean he didn't punch the guy.

If you actually READ the article, it indicates that he and the bouncer came to an agreement and the bouncer is refusing to sign the complaint.

aka the bouncer isn't a narc. my kinda dude (pay da man Chris )
