[[tmz:video id="0_qo6wgk34"]] Kirk Cousins' days in Washington are likely numbered -- so says Redskins legend Mark Rypien, who tells TMZ Sports the front office screwed the pooch by not locking Kirk down before the season. "I think they should've signed him to a long-term deal," Rypien said. Mark was leaving Michael's restaurant in NYC ... and told us why he thinks Washington may have really blown its chance to keep Kirk in D.C. for the long haul.

Just when you think the Cleveland Browns had turned a corner, and things were looking up in that part of Ohio, a cruel blow could derail their season.
Brian Hoyer was the long-time back-up quarterback to Tom Brady in New England, before he finally made his first NFL start last season for a beleaguered Arizona Cardinals side.
Now with the Browns having replaced 2012 first rounder Brandon Weeden as the starter, he had them winning, and playing well.
Two consecutive wins over the Vikings and Bengals had seen Rob Chudzinski’s side climb from basement dwellers who had seemingly given up on the season already following the Trent Richardson trade, to a team who could threaten in the Afc North at 2-2.
However on Thursday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills, Hoyer took off on a innocuous quarterback scramble but his leg buckled underneath him and he left the game and did not return.

Former Super Bowl Mvp Mark Rypien is the lead plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit against the National Football League seeking cash and medical care for the "repeated traumatic injuries to his head" he suffered during his 11-year career.
In a suit filed March 23, Rypien is joined by 126 former NFL players who allege the league knew of risks of "repetitive traumatic brain injuries and concussions for decades, but deliberately ignored and actively concealed" the data, this according to court documents. The suit adds that the 49-year-old Rypien endured multiple head injuries during his career. He now reportedly suffers "various neurological conditions and symptoms related to multiple head traumas."
Gene Locks, the attorney representing Rypien, tells the Washington Post, "We think the league delayed, didn't do a competent job of monitoring, and in many cases disregarded what it knew about concussions...It's a sad commentary."
Locks continues, "Our class-action wants the league...
