BEREA, Ohio (AP) -Former Cleveland Browns general manager George Kokinis has filed for arbitration against the team for firing him.
Kokinis was dismissed by the Browns on Nov. 2. He filed the case with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation.
LeBoeuf LLP, a New York-based law firm.
Kokinis is seeking more than $4 million in compensation and damages. He asserts that the Browns fraudulently induced him to join the team under the representation that he would have control over all player personnel matters and report to owner Randy Lerner.
His attorney, Jeffrey L. Kessler, said Kokinis had hoped the team would honor its contract without a legal fight.
