Report: Collins out as Browns president
WTAM News Radio 1100 is reporting that John Collins is out as Browns president.
WTAM's Mike Trivisonno broke the story this morning, also reporting the move means Phil Savage will stay on as the team's General Manager.
Collins' departure comes after a power struggle that resulted in the apparent firing of Savage on Friday before owner Randy Lerner stepped in and took control of the situation.
Stay tuned to cleveland.com for more on this developing story.

RUMOR: Browns To Fire John Collins
I only put this here in the Rumor Mill because we know the great job ESPN did with the Phil Savage reporting earlier....

Browns' shakeup claims Collins, not SavageBy Len Pasquarelli
ESPN.com
There will be a shakeup in the Cleveland Browns' front office but it apparently will not involve general manager Phil Savage.
In a remarkable twist, sources confirmed Tuesday to ESPN.com that John Collins, who has served as Browns' team president since May 1, 2004, will not continue in that capacity. It is unclear whether Collins will remain with the team or perhaps move on to the corporate holdings company of owner Randy Lerner, as some other Cleveland officials have recently done.
There have been rumors, adamantly denied by Collins, that he preferred to move back to New York. Before joining the Cleveland franchise, Collins worked 15 years in the league office in a variety of positions. He is a New York native who spent much of his scholastic and professional life in the city.
How the Cleveland front office makeover will shake out when it is completed remains to be seen. But it appears that Savage, one of the league's most respected talent evaluators, will be part of the front office team.
The Akron Beacon Journal reported Tuesday that Savage would stay on as general manager.
Last week, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that Savage would be fired because of "philosophical differences" with some members of the organization, and several sources confirmed that was the case. But the public reaction to the report was so strong, and the backlash so negative, it appears Browns officials reconsidered the move.
Coach Romeo Crennel also met with Lerner and supported keeping Savage, The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported.
Collins said that the Browns' management team huddled on Friday night and "renewed [its] vows," but even then speculation swirled that Savage might still depart.
