<![CDATA[Browns Let go of McCourty]]> via Rotoworld

Browns released CB Jason McCourty.

It's a surprising move as McCourty was easily the team's best defensive back last season and was due a reasonable $3 million in 2018. McCourty did fade as the year went on, however, and the Browns have made a concerted effort to bolster their secondary this offseason by adding Damarious Randall, T.J. Carrie and Terrance Mitchell. The 30-year-old should attract plenty of interest on the open market. Perhaps he'll be an option for the Patriots, who lost Malcolm Butler in free agency. McCourty's twin, Devin, is New England's starting free safety.

This is what happens when you're publicly critical of your boss.  Buhbye.

can't disagree, Crow & Hue got off on wrong foot with cop post. than poked at each other rest of 0-16..Danny Shelton let his fingers start the walking with disagreeing on fan parade. LBJ basically told Shelton to stfu, than win some games. McCourtny imo mouth'd off to get a ticket out of town.suck-sess.Seem's like a clean slate was also in plan. Poor Kizer, he just could not play yet.silence is Golden (bear,Rogers)

Sounds like Jackson made some comments that irked McCourty, and others. Duke Johnson, he of the potential contract extension, seems to agree per this article.

I dunno. I’d be pissed too if my bosses were throwing me under the bus to save their own asses, especially when they contributed to the suck fest too.

Hmm. Someone said this would be the reaction. But but they’re professionals!!

I haven't watched analyses of his individual play - PFF only rated him above average, 27th for CB's. 

Yes he had a couple good games but he also had more than that number of terrible days at the office -- gave up 7/94/1 to Keenan Allen for example, and didn't get a single tackle or PB against the Bengals while earning a 35.1 rating.

BBC was more consistent with his 24th rating.. Taylor is not bad for a 4th CB next season..

TAylor WAS bad for a #2 CB this past season.   I don't know about PFF numbers....I just know about what I saw.   And what I perceived was that McCourty did a much better job, much mor often than TAylor.

I hope  Dorsey has had a long talk with Hue about bad mouthing guys he's coaching, or the bus will be running him over next- if he doesn't produce a fair amount of wins this year.  

Well....Dorsey may want to have that same conversation with himself then.

If there's any truth to this being a factor, then this is far worse than I ever thought it would be.

Agree.....his comments had nothing to do with it. 

I only wonder if they really thought that Taylor performed better than McCourty.   Clearly not in my opinion.

It seems like Hue rubbed people the wrong way. He has his favorites, but Crow obviously hated him, Shelton and him might've not seen eye-to-eye, and McCourty wasn't keen on him.

I think the Browns would love to bookend Garrett with Chubb at the other DE spot.... Or maybe a trade down could happen to go after a LT? 

I'd be quite fine with Fitzpatrick though

Yh, I deleted my post right when you replied to it lol. I think Fitz is a safety, not a CB. So on second thought, I'm not sure if trading McCourty affects this.

He played VERY well and this move is beyond Shmucking stupid. The FO started out with a bit of a bang with trades and since then has progressively Sheet the bed to the point of outright negligent. 

I don't know about all that but regarding THIS move, it's puzzling. 

Basically they just released a productive guy who didn't break the bank.
