With Johnny Manziel and Brian Hoyer injured, the Cleveland Browns are desperate to find quarterback help for the final week of the season.
With Rex Grossman out of a job, the Browns thought the veteran passer would be a no-brainer.
Except Rex has other plans.
Rather than get a $53,000 payday for one day’s work, and get his first game action since 2011, Grossman told management he intends to spend his Christmas week kite surfing.
#Browns called Rex Grossman about joining team for one week but sides couldn't work out logistics. Grossman has whole family in for holiday

I talked to Rex Grossman today …Let's just say he has reasons to turn down the #Browns – Palm Beach vs. Cleveland & he's been kite surfing

The Browns are expected to sign Tyler Thigpen instead.
