The Browns have played in Cleveland since the first version of the franchise took the field in 1946, but recent talks have not led to a deal that would keep the team in place.

Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb said Thursday he met with Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslem, who announced their intent to relocate the NFL team to suburban Brook Park despite the city’s efforts to keep it in Cleveland.

The Cleveland Browns announced their official relocation, which has stunned many people in Cleveland, including the city's mayor.
