Winslow’s high-profile agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has been shockingly quiet during the ordeal. Rosenhaus has not returned a phone call or e-mail from the AP seeking comment on his client’s situation.

Rosenhaus made his own radio appearance in Miami, and said he does not agree with the Browns’ decision to suspend Winslow.

“In general, I believe suspending a player should be conduct very detrimental, very serious, something where there’s been a pattern where a player has not followed notice and warnings, things of that nature,” Rosenhaus said. “We’ll see what the outcome is.”

Crennel denied an NFL Network report that Savage tried to trade Winslow last week before the deadline.

“There have been some inquiries and that happens all the time with players,” Crennel said. “A team might call and say, ‘Hey, what about so and so? Are you guys interested in doing anything?’ That might have happened, I’m not going to say that it did or didn’t, but we were not actively trying to trade him.”

Earlier this week, Winslow expressed in a statement his desire to stay with the Browns “for a very long time” and was confident he and the team can move forward together.

Savage hopes Winslow keeps his word.

“If he is willing to do the things that he said publicly that he is willing to do, we’ll gladly accept him back,” Savage said. “Kellen Winslow is a talented player that can help us win. I feel like once this passes, it’s over with and we’re going to move on. We’ve got to do what’s best for the team, and the people on the team have to do what’s best for the team and not necessarily what’s best for themselves.”
