The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... It's been two weeks since the Browns named Hue Jackson their next HC, but Jackson admitted Wednesday that he has yet to speak with Manziel. "He just wasn't in the first batch of guys," Jackson told Cleveland.com at the Senior Bowl. "But he's definitely on our list."

Diehards Line: Good news for Browns fans -- Jackson did reach out to Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas, who debated on opting out if he did not like the new coaching staff. "I'm kind of picking guys," he said. "Some I know on this team that I've been involved with at other places. Some I don't know and want to get to know. There's no rhyme or reason why I haven't talked to (Manziel), but it's just the process I'm in right now. I'm just kind of picking the guys as I go." Jackson said he's not "directing anything" at Manziel. Jackson added that he hasn't viewed Manziel's newest videos. He intends to address Manziel's offseason once the two meet. Meanwhile, speaking to reporters at the annual Cleveland Sports Awards, owner Jimmy Haslam said he believes the team’s relationship with Manziel can be “fixed” and won’t dismiss the 2014 first-round pick.
