Apparently there are personal problems, attitude problems between Savage and the President... they dont seem to get along very well, and this being a crucial off season, I don't know if this rift will want to be continued through.
Personally, I think that Savage is the best thing that could happen to the Browns, He's one of the best talent evaluators in the league. Perhaps it's the problem with money-talent, but I'm sure Savage does it fairly wisely.
We'll see how this develops.
