Browns comfortable at kicker heading into summer

It got a little lost in the shuffle earlier in the week, but the Browns released veteran kicker Garrett Hartley on Monday.

The 28-year-old is entering his seventh season in the NFL, but will do so somewhere other than Cleveland. Veteran kicker Billy Cundiff kicked for the Browns for most of the 2014 before being released after an injury.

That leaves Travis Coons and Carey Spear as the lone kickers on the roster. Neither have kicked before in a NFL regular season game.

Coons was an undrafted free agent last season who won the Tennessee Titans kicking battle in training camp, but was cut right before the season when longtime Kansas City Chiefs Ryan Succop became available on the waiver wire.
