#Browns owner Randy Lerner: "In connection with current rumors and press inquiries, I can report that I've been approached...
....by Mr. Jimmy Haslam, who is interested in making an investment in the Cleveland Browns....
"We are currently in negotiations and both sides have agreed to keep that dialogue and its details private....
...to the organization, in particular the football team, as it prepares for the upcoming season. ...
....Given that any transaction would require League approval, care has been taken so that this process will not be disruptive...
We will share further details or make an announcement if it becomes necessary."

He said he got it from a reliable source. He wouldn't mention it unless it has legs. Doesn't want to ruin his rep. Says he's making calls to track it down and that he is hearing "silence". Makes him think there is something to it.
But he just mentioned it could be nothing So to me it's a huge take it for what it's worth.
However, this rumor keeps popping up it's head. Seems like when something doesn't go away there is some truth to it. As long as it's another billionaire I'd be fine.

His son owns a minority stake in the Steelers, maybe a little inter-family rivalry? I have a feeling Lerner won't sell the team outright and will maintain his majority but I could see him selling a percentage. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

No it is him. They'd sell their minority share and buy the Browns.

That could help us quite a bit actually.
