  Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - The Cleveland Browns have fired general manager George Kokinis, the club announced Monday.

  The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that Kokinis, who was in his first year as the Browns GM, was escorted out of the Browns facility in Berea by security Monday.

  However, the Browns organization denied those reports in a statement Monday night.

  Also in the statement, the club made note that Kokinis is no longer actively involved with the organization.

  Cleveland has struggled to a 1-7 start this season under new head coach Eric Mangini.

  The Browns, who are coming off a 30-6 loss to the Bears on Sunday, have a bye this upcoming weekend.
