I thought we would keep Ali and Walker...bit of a surprise there to me. The others are more practice squad types that I though we might keep there.
-
Do you think we keep 2 of those 3 cut WR's on the practice squad?
Hubbard was already on the Practice Squad once, and was on the roster last year... not sure he's allowed to be on the practice squad anymore?
Further... they have a roster spot open. Who do you think they pick up to fill it?

my question is why they cut down to 52 instead of 53?

yup... wonder who they are bringing in...
-
I hope they keep jennings on the practice squad, and I'm surprised to see that they cut Bartel, he had excellent accuracy and just needed to improve his awareness since he was getting sacked a lot, he would have been a good backup QB if either BQ or DA were traded.
-
maybe this is why we went down to 52. Make room for him and then *MAYBE* Some trade coming up after.

Browns put in waiver claim on QB
by Marla Ridenour on September 3, 2009
The Boston Globe reported that the Browns were one of four teams who put in a waiver claim Wednesday on New England quarterback Kevin O'Connell, a third-round pick in 2008.
Detroit got him by virtue of its 0-16 record last season.
According to the Herald, the Denver Broncos and New York Jets also tried to obtain O'Connell.
Former Browns defensive lineman Louis Leonard told the Rock Hill (S.C.) Herald that he was getting a pedicure in a Cleveland nail salon when his agent called him to tell him he'd been traded to the Carolina Panthers. Leonard was dealt Tuesday for an undisclosed draft choice.

I like Legget, great potential... too bad it didn't work out this year again.
They'll sign him or Hubbard to the practice squad.....................but I don't think both. But, I also can't see them staying with 4 TE's.............something could be up there. They talked about releasing Heiden or maybe putting him on the PUP. that would reduce the roster to 51.

Browns: Cutdown analysis
September 5, 2009 6:40 PM
Posted by ESPN.com’s James Walker
Biggest surprise: The Browns released some veterans they hoped would contribute more to the team this year in receiver David Patten and cornerback Corey Ivy. Both signed in Cleveland as free agents to provide veteran stability, but neither played well enough in training camp or the preseason. Ivy was one of the extra cornerbacks in Cleveland’s sub packages, and now the team needs to find someone else to fill that role before next week’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. The Browns also made enough cuts to leave one roster spot available, which means they’re up to something in the coming days.
No-brainers: Reports began to circulate in the past 24 hours that starting tailback Jamal Lewis would be released Saturday by the Browns. But that proved to be nothing more than a rumor. The Browns have no proven talent behind Lewis and would have gone into the season with a rookie sixth-round pick -- James Davis -- as their starting running back. Plus, the Browns paid Lewis a sizable roster bonus this offseason and would have taken a significant cap hit as a result. Piecing it all together, it made the most sense for Cleveland to keep Lewis.
What’s next: As evident by their open roster spot, the Browns should be one of the more active teams in the next 48 hours. Compared to the rest of the AFC North, Cleveland is lacking overall depth and talent at several positions. Browns head coach Eric Mangini has a penchant for acquiring his former players. So look for the Browns to experience some turnover at the bottom of their roster for veterans Mangini is familiar with.

Browns reached an injury settlement with Melila Purcell (per NFL Network scroll). I wonder if they plan on bringing him back later???

maybe this is why we went down to 52. Make room for him and then *MAYBE* Some trade coming up after.

Make room for who?!?!?
You do realize that we missed O'Connell on the waiver claim, right?
-
I'm trying to get a look at position by position breakdown. Surprised they keeped only 5 receivers unless I missed something. I guess Patton is always out there if they have an injury. He stays in playing shape year around.
-
How the breakdown in positions is a little interesting:
10 DB's
10 LB's
6 DL's
26 total defensive players
8 OL's
5 WR's
3 RB's
3 TE's
3 QB's
1 FB
23 total offensive players
1 P
1 K
1 LS
3 total special team players
I would expect the #53 guy to be on the offensive side, likely an OL guy.
-
One other nice thing....sixth round pick CB Don Carey was the only draftee that did not make the squad. Nice to see all of them make it.
-
Well, well, well....whadda ya know. Jamal Lewis was not cut.
