Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has requested a pause or dismissal of the Browns lawsuit against the City of Cleveland regarding the Modell Law.

In his filing, Yost pushed back on the Browns' claims of the Modell Law being 'vague and unclear,' and asserted any other issues must be resolved at the state level.

To Case Western Reserve University law professor Eric Chaffee, there’s one big takeaway from Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost’s decision to enter the battle between the Cleveland Browns and the City of Cleveland. “It means the state is willing to take a side here — and it does want the Browns to remain in Cleveland,” Chaffee said.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is expected to appoint his lieutenant governor, Jon Husted, to the Senate seat recently vacated by Vice President-elect JD Vance, two sources with knowledge of the decision told NBC News.
