More Browns wide receiver tumult surfaced this week when Antonio Callaway received a citation for marijuana possession. This marks the latest trouble for Callaway, and new details surfaced on Wednesday.
The rookie wide receiver said the car he was driving that contained the marijuana was transported from his native Florida recently, and he indicated he didn’t know marijuana was present in the vehicle. But TMZ reports gun parts and ammunition were found in the car as well. The police officer who searched the car found the backstrap of a firearm and several rounds of ammo, TMZ reports.
This figures to increase chances the rookie may incur an NFL suspension.
Due to a diluted sample at the Combine, Callaway entered the NFL in Stage 1 of the substance-abuse program. Hue Jackson‘s engaged in several discussions with the young wideout about his status, per Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com, but he was not told about Callaway’s incident until news broke.
“Obviously I’m just now finding out about it,” Jackson said, calling this sequence of events “alarming.” “… We will have a very strong conversation about it.
“We cannot run from that. Obviously, the red flag is up, because that’s (a type of trouble) that he’s had. Let me work through it, see what it is and go from there.”
This incident occurred nearly 20 hours before the Browns traded Corey Coleman. Callaway was suspended from the Florida Gators program last season but has impressed during camp. The Browns are currently without Josh Gordon and unloaded Coleman on Sunday night, opening the door for more reps for other roster hopefuls. Callaway seems like a lock to make Cleveland’s 53-man unit.
“We’ve had no slip ups, no issues,” Jackson said, adding Callaway had “been great” in his conduct since arriving via fourth-round pick. “This is a young player, who obviously made a bad decision or bad choice. I have to find out.”
Is it just me, or has Captain Hue lost control of the ship already?
Hue is a winner! Just wait. Be patient. 10 more years they will win.
Captain Hue probably wishes he was on the Starship Enterprise. At least then he could blame the loss of control on the M5 computer, the Klingons or Riley in engineering.
Kobayasi Maru Hue
He lost it two years ago. Haslem lost control much longer ago. Those two boneheads are going to prevent the Browns from ever winning.
Never had control
The weed wasn’t mine….I dunno where it came from….it just randomly appeared in this car.
Just cut your losses browns…this guy doesn’t get it and likely never will.
It reminded me of a funny scene in the HBO movie Gotti. The boss tells a story about a Gambino soldier who gets pulled over by the cops. They find handguns and an axe in the front seat and ask him if he has an explanation. He says “Are you kidding me…there are handguns and an axe in the front seat?” “Well, that is the last time I will ever rent from Avis.”
The organization doesn’t get it and never will
We’ve had no slip ups or issues hahaha what in the 3 months he’s been there! That’s a nice sample size. Sounds like a quality individual. Great member of society.
any room in rehab josh?
Reading Hue Jackson quotes are the worst. About anything… I’m a browns fan and I am glad trading coleman for less than peanuts potentially backfired on them within a week. What a stupid trade. Hue must have really disliked Coleman for him to be traded.
He was hated for clinching 0 16 ny dropping the pass he was not a fan fav
