According to Mike Silver of Yahoo.com, a group of about eight Browns veterans had summoned Peyton Hillis into a meeting room for an intervention-style, air-clearing session designed to restore his focus. After a breakout season in 2010 that vaulted him to national prominence, including a spot on the “Madden NFL ’12†cover, the 25-year-old back’s consuming desire for a new contract has become a locker room distraction that numerous teammates regard as an impediment to cohesion and collective success. “I’ve never seen anything like it,†says one Browns veteran. “Last year, Peyton was such a positive, inspirational force on our team – but now he’s like a different guy. It’s like he’s in a funk that he can’t get out of, and it’s killing us, because we really need him. And we’ve told him that. But we’re at the point where we just don’t know what to do.†Hillis insisted that “there’s never been a problem†with his intra-locker room relationships, but numerous Browns players indicated otherwise. While sympathetic to Hillis’ desire for a new deal – he’s in the final year of his rookie contract and will make $600,000 in 2011 – they believe he has allowed his frustrations surrounding the lack of progress on that front to detract from his focus.

1. He has about 30lb too much muscle for his body type. So I don't disregard the injuries to him being a drama queen. 2. If you're not happy with you contract the single worst thing you can do is exactly what he's doing. Look at Forte. He's forcing the Bears to crap or get off the pot.
