      Just heard that. Now we know why the Texans didn't try to keep him.

        Who would you prefer as the starter going forward Crowell or West ?

        If Tate goes to Indy watch him and Richardson both have 100 yard 2 TD's each games ....... when they play us

          West, probably, for ball security reasons. Crowell in red zone.

            Glenn Winston will be the 3rd running back.

              We need the roster space, three good backs is a luxury we can't afford at the moment. Good move, mainly cause they cut the right one.

                Objectively, west has gotten worse as the season wore on; seems to have a bad attitude; and has the highest salary. It made sense to cut him, if any.

                Not sure this means we see more Winston, I think they were looking to streamline to two backs.

                Joe Banner would have gotten a first round pick for him though...

                  Farmer sending a message to the TEAM.

                  Tate ran well early on, the guy has some talent.

                      Just traded knile Davis for Ben tate a few days ago anticipating he'd get cut!!! Jack pot!!! Hopefully Denver or Indy picks him up now.

                        I saw this coming but after the season was over. Man, I think Crow and West are the future but Tate didn't seem to get largely out played either. I still think he's a good RB though and will be a nice present for a team needing help.

                          But we were 5-2 with Ben Tate starting at RB.

                          How many Browns RBs can say they were 5-2 as a starter?

                          You guys must be furious right?

                            Meh. He is a pretty expensive player to have warming pine.

                            Sucks it didn't work out, he obviously has talent but was getting out played by rookies.

                              Until then double up on his mashed taters and throw him in a FB.

                                  Only reason I can see for him being cut now is like someone else said, to send a message to people who put themselves above the team.

                                        He wanted to be "the guy" he clearly put himself into Pettine and co's dawg house with his attitude.
