Browns Release TE Wright; LSU's Kiffin Eyes NFL Player for Transfer Portal

Wright's potential move to LSU under Lane Kiffin is less a singular story than a symptom of a sport still searching for its own definition in an age of athlete mobility. The rules have not caught up to the reality, and the reality is moving fast.
