Cleveland Browns Brandon McDonald Tweets he has been cut

NewEraDawg

CLEVELAND -- Brandon McDonald has been cut by the Browns, the cornerback announced on his Twitter account.

McDonald started 27 of 48 games the past three seasons. He lost his job on a few occasions, due to breakdowns in coverage and the running game, but kept regaining it. He co-led the Browns in 2008 with five interceptions.

McDonald got into hot water this summer when he made offensive remarks in a Tweet regarding the Bengals' acquisition of receiver Terrell Owens.

McDonald was a fifth-round pick in 2007.

The Browns say they won't announce their cutdown to 53 players until 6 p.m.

Wow, if this is true, I wish him the best of luck. He seemed like a good kid, in spite of his offensive tweet.

I hope they give him some burnt toast on the way out...

Ahh regardless of what I think about him, you still have to feel for the players cut, especially one that is kind of a surprise. I wish him luck...

Hooked on phonics didn't work for him

I think we'd rather have someone kept around who can play on special teams to a good level. Considering at best he'd be our dime, I'd say we've got enough depth.

It won't take long for him to find another team.

He is a talented player, but a lot of times, his abilities didn't translate to success in a game.

I have no idea what that is caused by.

I wish him well, he'll catch on with another team. The Browns have DEPTH !!!!

When you trade for a CB,draft a CB with the 7th. pick you have got to know your fighting for your job.Eric Wright gets it,McDonald didn't.
