Profootballtalk reports the Browns hope to void the $3.067 million guaranteed they owe Davone Bess for 2014. Unbeknownst to Cleveland, Bess was dealing with mental issues when he was acquired from the Dolphins last April. The problems resurfaced late in 2013, and Bess was placed on the reserve/NFI list.
