Browns release DB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu
-
Nobody in all of sports history can pick' em like my Brownies. Druggies, Drunks & Embezzlers is the new fat, drunk & stupid. Most teams would only draft them with 2 legs & a chance to play football, but not our cracked staff.. Good Luck Expre sure to see you on the other side of the field.
Farmer Flyer Towels for everyone..Hey- they knew he was a serious injury risk when they took him. At least they didn't draft him high like bum knee Montario Hardesty. If you can name another 7th round pick that made it big without looking it up (other than Marques Colston) congrats.
Boy, this is devastating......
Well, for Ifo it sure is, all that rehab- for nothing.

Claimed by Miami... taking a low risk peek...

I assume so, yes, Tour. That being said, if they sign him and stick with him, all hell will break loose in Cleveland.
-
I get that he may not be they're guy. But why is Tramon Willians still on the roster..? He blows...

Good thing he took out the insurance policy that paid him 3 million. Why did the Browns waste a pick?
DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD! -

Does it matter why? The FO choosing him & the FO releasing him are entirely different. Time to move on.

What Chris means to say, Opal, is that the Browns at the time, though the chance that he
might have a quicker recovery, and this new fo and coaching staff need a taller cb to hit
the field running now.... plans change, they took a chance, hasn't worked out for
the immediate moment. I'm sure that if they knew what they know now, they would have
picked another player that also wouldn't have worked out.....

I stick by what I said...

Why did they waste a seventh round pick on a guy with first round talent if he recovers fully? Gee, I don't, it's a fucking mystery, call Ripley's.
Someone will waste an even higher pick this year on Jaylon Smith from N.D. in the hopes that the nerve damage in the knee is not as bad as it appears to be.

Because this guy was rated first round talent before his injury. After the injury I think it was worth a shot to see if he would come back into form. Apparently he hasn't....at least not to the satisfaction of our FO.
So be it. Onward and upward.

Marcus Lattimore was a 4th round pick in similar circumstances, though he'd already lost both of his knees multiple times.

So many guys do come back from devastating knee injuries that I guess it is worth the risk that medical science will restore these guys to their former capabilities. Look at Adrian Peterson and others. Some like him make it....others don't.

When I saw that the Browns dropped him, I was disappointed, but thought to myself, "This poor guy must be seriously injured"
Then I saw that the Dolphins picked him up....?
If there is a chance that this guy could be healthy even after another year off... I don't understand the move in dropping him.
He's a seventh round, super cheap player. It's not like he was sucking up cap space, or the Browns have so much talent at CB that they couldn't afford to use a roster spot on him... He has "Moneyball" written all over him.

Not really. I guarantee they checked his medicals and didn't see what they wanted to see. If they thought that he would turn into something decent even next year, they would have sat on him to invest in the future. The Dolphins are taking a flyer to kick the tires on him.

I was confused when I read that the Dolphins picked him up as well, AND that other teams wanted him too. I would think that all teams would have access to his physical records, right? Perhaps not to the extent the Browns did, but I can't imagine a team taking a flyer on an injured player without doing a proper background check.
I swear, I will EXPLODE if he turns out to be even SERVICEABLE.

They likely didn't have the access that the Browns did.
Oh, I fully expect fireworks on the board even if he ends up being a 5th CB on a CFL team.

The steelers supposedly had a claim out for him.
