Frustrated that he can't get a new contract, offensive tackle Ross
Verba will be released by the Cleveland Browns once he repays a
$465,000 roster bonus.
Verba and the Browns have agreed to the amicable split rather than
drag out a contract dispute that began when the eight-year veteran
said the club reneged on a promise to redo his current deal, which
will pay him $2.9 million in 2005 and 2006.
Repaying the bonus he received in March was one of two options the
Browns gave Verba and his agent, Tom Condon. The other was to give
Verba permission to seek a trade.
