Browns cut ties with rushing linebacker Kruger

Defensive end Paul Kruger is out of a job, and he's not happy with the Cleveland Browns' decision.

The team announced that it had terminated the contracts of Kruger and quarterback Austin Davis on Monday as part of their roster cutdown.

Kruger, who received a five-year, $40 million contract in 2013, had 11 sacks in 2014 but only 2.5 last season. He issued a statement on Monday, thanking the Browns organization and their "relentless fans."
