Isaiah Crowell on his way out of Cleveland?

Cleveland Browns beat writer Tony Grossi is suggesting that the team will move on from RB Isaiah Crowell this offseason. (Tony Grossi on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

In the midst of a conversation on Twitter, a fan asked Grossi who he thinks will be the starting RB for the Browns in Week 1. Grossi replied "a high draft pick," eluding to the point that Crowell is on his way out. The 25-year-old running back, who spent his entire four-year career with the Browns is an impending free agent on March 14 and should garner a respectable payday in a weak free agent running back class. However, because RBs are a dime a dozen, plus, the fact that the upcoming NFL Draft is loaded with promising prospects at the position, I don't believe Crowell will be overpaid and should be affordable for teams even with cap trouble. An expected destination for Crowell is San Francisco, whose head coach, Kyle Shanahan was the offensive coordinator in Cleveland back in 2014, Crowell's rookie campaign. The 49ers are likely moving on from Carlos Hyde, opening up a void at running back.
