Browns Make Deal with Saints for DL Devaroe Lawrence, Announce Release of 19 Players

The Browns Saturday announced transactions, including a trade with New Orleans as they set their roster for the season opener against the Steleers a week from Sunday at First Energy Stadium.

The trade is with the Saints, as the team acquired DL Devaroe Lawrence in exchange for a 2019 seventh-round pick. Lawrence missed all of 2017 on the non-football injury list, but came back and had a solid preseason for the Saints, posting 10 tackles, three for loss, 2.5 sacks and a pass defensed.

He’s 6-2, 295-pounds and officially in his first NFL season out of Auburn.
