CLEVELAND — The Browns' wrecking ball took two big swings and may strike again.
Hours after making their first notable signing in free agency on Wednesday, Cleveland released veteran linebacker Karlos Dansby and wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, two players who don't fit into the new front office's rebuilding plan.
Mired in misery for most of the past 17 years, the Browns are starting over — again. Owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam have restructured the upper tier of their organization, changed the coaching, and are now overhauling the roster.
The release of Dansby was somewhat surprising because the 34-year-old has been valuable in his two seasons with Cleveland.
