For two teams in the same state, there aren't as many connections between the Browns and Bengals as you may think.
Many Bengals fans were upset to see Jayson DiManche get waived prior to the start of the 2015 season. DiManche suffered an injury in the final preseason game of the year. The Bengals then placed him on Injured/Reserve during final roster cuts and ended up waiving him before Week 1 with an injury settlement. DiManche landed on Kansas City's practice squad, but Cleveland signed him to their roster in mid-October. DiManche was originally an undrafted player in 2013, signed by the Bengals.
