Three-time Pro Bowl strong safety Donte Whitner signed with the Browns two years ago in hopes of restoring glory to his hometown team.
But the Cleveland native, Glenville High School graduate and Ohio State University product never experienced the success he dreamed about with the Browns.
“Cleveland I’m gone!,” Whitner tweeted before the Browns announced the news.
The organization’s new regime continued to push the reset button on the roster Saturday by cutting Whitner. It also waived cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu amid concerns about whether he’ll ever be able to recover enough from a devastating knee injury to play in the NFL.
