The Cleveland Browns were very busy on Monday.
With today’s league-mandated deadline to reduce rosters to a maximum of 75 players, the Browns released linebacker Paul Kruger and defensive back K’Waun Williams, among others, and traded punter Andy Lee.
“Let me say this about anybody that we let go – we let people go because there is a performance that we want, not so much just (Paul), I mean everybody,” head coach Hue Jackson said. “When you let players go now, you give them a chance to catch on at other places. I think the respectful thing to do if you don’t see a guy having the potential to make your team, I think the right thing to do is to move forward and move on, and I think that is what we have done.
