The day after the Browns recorded their fifth loss, a 37–10 blowout against the Oilers, owner Art Modell announced that he was moving the franchise to Baltimore. Stunned by this news, the team collapsed and only won one of their remaining seven games and Belichick was fired. As part of the agreement to allow Modell to move, the city of Cleveland was allowed to keep the Browns name, franchise history and all memorabilia. In return, Modell would be granted a new franchise, the Baltimore Ravens. While Modell would be allowed to take the player contracts from the old Browns, as well as the bulk of his organization, to Baltimore, the Ravens would otherwise be reckoned as an expansion team. The NFL also agreed that Cleveland would receive a new franchise once a stadium was built for it, and in 1999 the Browns franchise was reactivated under new ownership. The 1999 Browns were stocked by an expansion draft, but were otherwise a continuation of the original 1946 franchise.
