<![CDATA[Browns release DB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu]]>I was hoping for an April Fools leftover, but sadly no...

The Cleveland Browns have waived defensive back Ifo Ekpre-Olomuicon-article-link.gif with a non-football injury.

Ekpre-Olomu was selected by the Browns in the seventh round last year. He missed the entire season with a knee injury he sustained in college.

I don't act like anything regarding the Browns current roster, simply responding to the Stoolers' problems on the back end of a porous defense.

Senquez? I thought J Lo did a fantastic job portraying her.

Lol.

Ohhhhhhhhh dbone. Our issues in the secondary are overblown. Senquez Golson is also back and we drafted him in the second last season. He went on IR before training camp. You act like youve got a lockdown situation in Cleveland.

Why is this in a thread about an injured DB we released?

Just added to speculation that Miami might make a player out of the DB released. Same might be said for JM if he ever cleans up his life.

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.

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.

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.

Look at Adrian Peterson and others. Some like him make it....others don't.

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.

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

@opal312 said:

Good thing he took out the insurance policy that paid him 3 million. Why did the Browns waste a pick?

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.

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.

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... 😉

Hard to call any type of 7th rounder a 'waste'.

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