CLEVELAND — Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne is resigned to seeing the Cleveland Browns leave the lakefront, now that Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb and Haslam Sports Group have worked out a deal to settle their legal battle over the team's looming move to Brook Park.

"Didn't think this had to happen. Wish it hadn't happened," Ronayne said during an interview on Tuesday.

"But Mayor Justin Bibb made a decision," he added. "He negotiated a deal with Haslam Sports Group. That's a deal we all now live by, and we'll work to make the most of it and mitigate the downside of it." Browns, Cleveland reach $100M settlement, paving the way for Brook Park stadium move
