Cleveland Browns

Remember, John Elway has forgotten more about football than you'll ever know ... and he thinks the game will be good to RGIII on Sunday -- saying the Browns QB will "do well" in his first start back.

Elway -- who won two Super Bowls as a player and built a SB winning team as a GM in Denver -- was out in L.A. when we asked how he thought RG3 would fare in his first game action since September.

Griffin threw for just 190 yards and an interception in his last start against Philly ... but John says things will be different this time.

RG3'S WALLET MUST BE AVENGED!!!

The Cleveland Browns are launching an investigation into the pillaging of the QB's wallet -- which allegedly went down after his GF valet parked her car in the "players and family garage" at FirstEnergy Stadium.

Grete Sadeiko claims her wallet -- and RG3's wallet -- were left inside the car and when she returned ... the cash in both wallets had been taken.

Grete tells TMZ Sports she notified the team and was told "they are looking into it and are going to solve the problem."

As if the Cleveland Browns season couldn't get any worse ...

Robert Griffin III's girlfriend claims a valet at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland ransacked the wallets they left in their car during Sunday's game ... and stole all of their cash.

Grete Sadeiko -- who has been publicly dating RG3 since the summer -- said she left her car with a valet in the "players and family garage" to watch the Browns take on the Giants ... and when she returned, the money had been taken out of their wallets.

Grete posted about the alleged incident on Twitter -- and when people began to question why she left their wallets in the car in the first place, she roared back.

"Ain't about why we left wallets in the car we parked in PLAYERS AND FAMILY PARKING GARAGE! I should be able to leave anything I want there."

We've reached out to Cleveland police -- who say they have no record of a report being filed about the incident.

Josh Brown doesn't have a job ... 'cause the NY Giants just announced they've cut the kicker.

In a statement, Giants co-owner John Mara said, “We believed we did the right thing at every juncture in our relationship with Josh. Our beliefs, our judgments and our decisions were misguided. We accept that responsibility."

Last week, police in Washington state released documents connected to Brown's '15 domestic violence arrest -- including his journal -- where he acknowledged having abused his ex-wife.

The Giants quickly moved Brown from the active roster to the Commissioner's exempt list ... before completely cutting ties Tuesday.

NY Giants kicker Josh Brown admitted to abusing his ex-wife, viewed himself as "God" and her as a "slave" and acknowledged a porn addiction ... this according to police documents.

Jay Glazer says he genuinely cares for troubled NFL star Josh Gordon -- and says if there's anyone who can help him deal with his addiction issues, it's his good friend Demi Lovato.

A report that Cleveland Browns WR Josh Gordon and his posse were stopped by TSA at a Cleveland airport with a pound of weed is completely bogus ... this according to TSA sources.

The original Scout.com report claims Gordon and his security detail were detained at Cleveland Hopkins airport after screeners found the pot in checked baggage. Gordon reportedly denied the pot was his. The report says this was the incident that led to Gordon entering rehab.

But our TSA sources tell us, "The reports you're seeing are totally false."

One highly connected TSA source explains, "Gordon was screened by TSA last night (Thursday) without incident."

The source also says there has been no TSA trouble with Gordon recently. We also spoke with the Cleveland PD which also shot down the report.

Cleveland Browns superstar Josh Gordon is headed back to rehab ... the team just announced.

With the Cleveland Browns in serious quarterback trouble, Johnny Manziel says one thing's for sure -- they're definitely not calling him.

Seems RG3 is ALL IN with his new girlfriend ... 'cause he got her name TATTOOED ON HIS ARM!!

We're told the two hit up a tattoo parlor in Cleveland last month -- both got brand new ink on their forearms.

Robert's tat reads ... GRETE SADEIKO.

Boom.

Grete is the 23-year-old Florida State track star who has apparently been dating the Browns QB for at least a month.

By the way, Griffin is STILL MARRIED to his wife, the mother of his child ... though they are recently separated.

As for Grete's tattoo -- hard to see what it says. Wonder if it's his name?

Robert Griffin III's marriage is just about over ... the NFL star has separated from his wife and the two are in the process of filing for a divorce ... this according to Cleveland.com.

Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell is donating this season's first NFL game check to a Dallas police organization after facing intense backlash over an Instagram post ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Cleveland Browns player Isaiah Crowell's apology for a tasteless social media attack on cops is falling on deaf ears -- and in fact, police tell TMZ Sports ... they'll pull out of the Browns' stadium in protest.

Crowell got blasted for posting an illustration last week of a cop getting his throat slashed by a masked person. He posted it on Wednesday -- after Alton Sterling and Philando Castile's deaths, but the day before 5 Dallas officers were shot and killed.

The running back deleted the post and the Browns demanded he publicly apologize, which he did.

Chad Johnson is an NFL coach ... telling TMZ Sports he has been hired by the Cleveland Browns as an assistant wide receivers coach for training camp.

Johnson says he asked his former Bengals, and current Browns head coach, Hue Jackson, for a coaching job ... and to Chad's surprise, H.J. said yes.

Chad says he will be in Cleveland on July 28th, ready to coach. We're told the gig is just for training camp ... as of now.

However, it sounds like Chad has bigger plans ... telling us, "I'm not leaving!"

Johhny Manziel is Mexico's problem -- at least for the time being -- 'cause the QB just hopped a plane to Cabo ... rocking a Cleveland Browns jersey.

In fact, the jersey is #12 ... his good friend Josh Gordon -- who not only picked up Manziel after a Hollywood car crash back in April, but also partied with Johnny at Coachella.

It's a pretty ballsy move for JFB to don the Browns gear considering how Cleveland feels about him -- which begs the question ... sympathy play or laundry day?

The Cleveland Browns still have Johnny Manziel's back -- so says Pro Bowl tight end Gary Barnidge who tells TMZ Sports, "If [Manziel] ever needs anything, he knows he can call any of us."

Barnidge was out at a Kentucky Derby party in Louisville over the weekend -- when we asked how he felt about his former teammate.
