Linebacker Paul Kruger is no longer a member of the Cleveland Browns. The transaction was made official Monday morning, a single cut among many made to trim the roster to 75.
Though this may have come as a surprise to many Browns fans, head coach Hue Jackson made it very clear that the move was solely based on Kruger’s performance on the field.
