He could be baking them for Gordon so that he can make the 53 next year.

Browns should sign Joseph Fauria(TE), who was released by the Lions. They should also sign Zach Zenner(RB), if the Lions cut him also.

Thinking a moderator could either delete this thread, or combine it with the "cuts" one. They're the same thing with same discussions.

Thanks!

touche guys ... i'll get you two back somehow

Why? We are a Browns site, and it's perfectly appropriate to have a thread on NFL cuts, and one on Browns specific cuts.

The rule used to be no more than 2-3 threads on similar subjects on the 1st page of the forum. I still think that's appropriate.

Discussion(s) on Browns players being cut is also in the other thread. That's the only reason I suggested it, consolidate the two so people aren't seeing the same info x2. Either or, though...

I like it this way. I don't care about other teams cuts. Unless some jaw dropping cut is made, I doubt we play at this point.

With Shelton, Taylor, and even Hughes' ability to play the 0-tech, I thought this would happen. Plus it's early enough that he can catch on with another team. Good luck!

* Phil Taylor is still limited but making progress after what Pettine described as "a serious knee injury.'' Taylor said he's gone through two scopes on the knee. But Pettine said the second scope was more extensive.

can not really count on taylor.

They're counting on him enough to let Kitchen loose.

Kitchen did a pretty good job for us.., I wish him well..

Yep ... a couple good years of service

So Bowie to IR ... another year to knock off the rust probably

I'm kinda surprised they didn't cut him. Must be something there to hang on to him.

Sad to see Kitchen go, but glad to say we're actually DEEP at positions now. . .

Maybe they just thought he needed more time to recover ... he looked bad, but I guess it doesn't hurt to keep him (it's not my money)

Our Oline depth is horrid...Very scary if we are to have another injury there...We basically have Irving and that's it

the only good thing is 31 other teams say the same thing. OL depth around the league is bottom of the barrell ... look at TB ... Gilkey STARTS for them haha

I like Darrian Miller, he has played well this preseason. He is better at tackle than Erving. I would keep Miller and Erving and that would be all the OL I would carry may slip another one onto the practice squad.

very difficult cuts ... not these 4, but the following ones

Quick question, let's assume that Pat Devlin plays Thursday at Chicago (basically to eat up throws so Johnny doesn't have to play) ... but then we just cut him on Sunday, what was his compensation? Does he just get paid for his week on the team?

You don't get paid unless you make the team. No doubt we pay his expenses to and from home, but he is playing for a chance...I am sure we probably added a little bonus money....I mean a little, like a couple thousand.

okay I wasn't sure if these guys got paid weekly for their time in training camp ... maybe like 5 grand a week or something

Dammit.... can't delete a post

Ok... I just went in and hit delete without erasing anything. thanks Mac

Mourg, I've been as big of a Miller supporter as there has been on this board (heck, I mocked him to the Browns with our 6b pick) but in the last game he showed that he's a left tackle only. He got beat up at RT and the coaches basically said he couldn't play guard. It's fine to be a LT only if you're a starter, but hard to justify as a backup when you can only play one position. He's our best backup option at LT, but little else. I'm not confident he'll make the team anymore.

Ok....just looked it up. I stand corrected. They get paid $950 a week for rooks, vets about double.

wow, that's "nothing" (I mean I make less than that but still)

Kitchen's most valuable asset was that he was big. He was never actually good. Now that we have big people who are actually good, he doesn't have a spot on the team.

... And this is exactly why I'd have been totally okay with 'trying' to trade Phil, or even really just cutting him, and keeping Kitchen.

I like Phil, but I gotta put that aside and face facts, he's never been reliable health wise. Never and there's no reason to believe otherwise.

I am pretty sure Phil played in all games his first and 3rd years and was out in 2 and 4 so we should get another 16 out of him this year

Haha, math for the win!

I think this is one of the biggest adjustments Browns fans will have to make going forward.

I can remember how folks (myself included) reacted when we'd release/trade away guys like Leigh Bodden and DQ- average players who were "standouts" because the rest of the team was so awful.

It's telling that guys like Kitchen are now becoming expendable. Slow roster build-up (under the radar), and now we can afford to let this caliber of player go.

"Invisible" progress.... but progress, nonetheless.

Leigh Bodden was actually really good. He just wasn't really good for a long period of time.

About 15 games IIRC ... just like Anthony Henry
