It was costly, and that was something I just can’t do. … I apologized to him and obviously that’s uncharacteristic of me, but that rule, it’s a fine line right now. You don’t know if you can be happy.”

“Certainly I’m happy for the city, for my friends with the Cubs organization, happy for my friends and neighbors who have been waiting a long time for this,” he said that November. “But emotionally, you also feel reinforcement of that frustration.

That likely is because he’s left-footed and they want to prepare punt returner Nsimba Webster to face the Browns’ Jamie Gillan, who is left-footed. Anderson came in for a tryout before the season opener as well. … The Browns have not beaten an NFC North team since a victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 22, 2013.
