Reports: Browns close to stadium name deal

CLEVELAND -- Various published reports are indicating the naming rights to Cleveland Browns Stadium may soon be sold.

The reports indicate the Browns are close to striking a deal with FirstEnergy for the company to put their name on the stadium. There is no confirmation from either the Browns or FirstEnergy on the rumored deal.

FirstEnergy did release a statement that read in part:

"In Ohio, we've long championed Cleveland teams with prominent sponsorships at Browns Stadium, Progressive Field and Quicken Loans Arena. While we remain committed to partnering with local community leaders and businesses to make our communities attractive places to live and work, we have no new announcements regarding any major sponsorships at this time."

New owner Jimmy Haslam left open the possibility of selling naming rights to the stadium when he first took over the reins of the team last fall.

Browns Stadium has never had a corporate sponsor attached.
