He's right. ... Hillis also said he feels someone came up with the report to try to devalue him in free agency, but he has no idea who would do such a thing. He also explained the firing of three agents in the past year, stressing that his last agent, Kennard McGuire, wasn't able to get anything done with the Browns and that he wanted to find someone who could. He also said he'd love to stay with the Browns and that he'd take a "hometown discount' to do so. He also said he thinks the team wants him to test the open market beginning next week and that he'd love to hear what they have to offer. Don't be surprised if it's not enough to keep him from moving on.
