Malik McDowell's big chance with the Browns has almost certainly ended.
The defensive tackle with a long history of off-field trouble is highly unlikely to be retained as an exclusive rights free agent in March because of his latest brush with the law, a person familiar with the situation said Tuesday.
McDowell, 25, was arrested at 1:25 p.m. Monday by the Broward Sheriff's Office on charges of indecent exposure in public, resisting arrest with violence and aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer in Deerfield Beach, Fla., according to an arrest report obtained by the Beacon Journal.
