The Facts: Impending free agent Pryor struggles to harness his competitive fire at times, so finishing the 2016 season with a record of 1-15 can't be easy for him to swallow. Yet Pryor believes the Browns can reverse their fortunes under coach Hue Jackson, so he has told agents Drew and Jason Rosenhaus he would like to stay in Cleveland. "Absolutely. I told them, and we've had a lot of conversations," Pryor said Monday.

Diehards Line: According to Beacon Journal staffer Nate Ulrich, Pryor’s agents had preliminary contract extension talks with the Browns in the fall but shelved negotiations until after the season. Pryor said he expects the discussions to resume soon. The Browns could keep him without a long-term deal by placing their franchise tag on him. No matter what happens with his contract situation, he’s on the verge of receiving a huge payday. In his first full season as a receiver, the former quarterback led the Browns with 77 catches for 1,007 yards and four touchdowns.
