The Facts: The Browns have no plans to cut Crowell, but they made it clear that actions must speak louder than words when it comes to his apology for an Instagram post depicting a police officer being stabbed in the neck by a person in a black hood.

Diehards Line: Crowell posted the photo on Wednesday after the killing of two black men by police, one in Minnesota and one in Louisiana. But he took it down after a few minutes and issued an apology Monday through the Browns. With racial tensions running high in the country in the wake of the murder of five police officers in Dallas on Thursday many fans and some media, including ESPNCleveland's Bruce Hooley, have called for Crowell's immediate dismissal by the Browns. They currently have no plans to do that, but stressed in a statement that he must back up his words with action. "We have spoken to Isaiah regarding his extremely disturbing and unacceptable social media decision," the Browns said in the statement. "It was completely inappropriate and we have made him aware of our high level of disappointment. Isaiah has apologized but also knows that just an apology is insufficient and that he must take steps to make a positive difference after a very negative and impactful post. ..." Before making any determination on possible discipline for Crowell, the Browns will give him a chance to redeem himself by being part of the solution instead of the problem. At this point, both the team and the NFL seem satisfied that Crowell took the post down immediately, acknowledged his mistake and is genuinely remorseful. Crowell apologized to the Chief of Police in Cleveland this morning. We'll follow up as needed.
