BALTIMORE, Md. -- Browns owner Jimmy Haslam made it clear Sunday that his three wayward big-name players had better get it together or they're gone.



He was referring to first-round picks Johnny Manziel and Justin Gilbert, and All-Pro receiver Josh Gordon -- who all got in trouble with the team over the weekend for being late or failing to show for team functions.



"I think this is the ultimate team game, and I think a player who can't show up for meetings, can't make practice, can't make weight lifting, disrespects himself,'' said Haslam after the Browns' 20-10 loss to the Ravens.

"But I think more importantly, and I think this is what these young guys miss -- they disrespect the team, the coaches, the staff, the fans. There's a lot of people in our organization whose livelihood depends on how well we do, and we're not going to tolerate people who are irresponsible no matter what round they're drafted in.''

He indicated they won't give up on them immediately, but that they're skating on thin ice.

"So these young guys, we're going to give them a chance,'' he said. "They're young kids. We're going to work with them. Hopefully they'll grow up, but if they can't grow up and they can't be responsible to their teammates and the coaches and our great fans, then they won't be with the Cleveland Browns."

No. 22 overall pick Manziel had a party Friday night and didn't show up the next day for treatment. He was fined and the Browns are royally miffed.



All-Pro receiver Gordon attended the bash and didn't show up for the Saturday walk-through. He was suspended for the game and is battling with the Browns to keep his accrued season so he can become a free agent on schedule.



No. 8 overall pick Gilbert was late for a team meeting Saturday night and was inactive.

Manziel and Gilbert were in the locker room during the game and not even permitted on the sidelines. Gordon didn't make the trip.

After the game, Manziel declined to comment and Gilbert referred to questions about being inactive to Pettine.

"I'm just ready to get it all turned around and start new,'' he said.

The Browns have put up with a lot from all three of those players since the day they arrived, but the leash is getting short for all of them.



Haslam also said in his four-minute interview that he's sticking with coach Mike Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer; and that the Browns have to figure out what they're doing at quarterback.

Pettine declined to address the turbulent trio during his post-game press conference, saying he'll talk about it at length on Monday.



"To me, it's disrespectful to the guys that put the uniform on today and went out and played their hearts out for the Cleveland Browns,'' he said. "There were guys that didn't need to go out and play, they could've shut it down and didn't. I'll have plenty to say tomorrow.''
