The Cleveland Browns, in hope of returning to the NFL, today declared their eligibility for the NFL draft. "We've gotten quite an education so far, but we're not really known for finishing anytyhing, so we thought now would be a good time for this," said Cleveland's secondary owner Randy Lerner. Primary Browns owner The Pittsburgh Steelers were unavailable for comment, as they're once again readying for another Super Bowl.

The Browns are apparently hopeful that by declaring for the draft, they'll be able to catch on with some team and be back in the NFL much quicker than the projected 2018 timetable new coach Eric "Leave 'em laughin'" Mangini has articulated.

SI's experts project that one of the teams might take a gamble on the Browns in the later rounds, but note that their may be contractual problems as they're already owned by another NFL team.
