oldtimer 8,686 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 New Sheriff in town cuttn Dorsey's players Browns cut T.J. Carrie, Demetrius Harris and Eric Kush Josh Alper ProFootball Talk on NBC SportsFeb 17, 2020, 11:31 AM Linebacker Adarius Taylor isn’t the only veteran the Browns are cutting loose on Monday. Shortly after word of Taylor’s release surfaced, the Browns confirmed it with an announcement that included word of three other moves as well. The team has also released cornerback T.J. Carrie, tight end Demetrius Harris and guard Eric Kush. Carrie signed a four-year contract in Cleveland in 2018 and started 14 of the 32 games he played over two years with the team. He had 52 tackles, an interception, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery last year. Harris signed a two-year deal with the team as a free agent last March. He had 15 catches for 149 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games with the Browns. Kush started seven times while appearing in every game for Cleveland last year. The four moves free up more than $13 million in cap space and leave less than $4 million in dead money for the coming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen 1,010,220 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 i mean, maybe harris on a vet min. i have come to terms with the fact that Andy does not like to use multiple TE sets. While i don't think he offers that much as a pass catcher, he is huge and a good blocker and special teams player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has about the same hands (pretty meh) but is not as good of a blocker or special teamer. If Kelce goes down we're fucked at the position anyway.

I'm down for drafting a tight end fairly high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team seems highish on Yelder. Better hands than either. Not as good of a blocker. They loved John Lovett before he got hurt and he's coming back, but more of a fullback or h-back type. If they're not going to run 2 tight end sets they may be better off dumpster diving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but Kelce is on the wrong side of 30 and that has been a huge part of our offense. I’d like to get someone on board to be learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkuenn 3,597 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Thadeus Moss in the 3rd round so far is what I am watching for. Have to see how the combine shakes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen 1,010,220 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 There is a pretty decent crop of day 2 tight ends and some of those will fall to day 3. Albert O is certainly interesting on day 2 or 3 but I want to see how he tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert O can run routes and catch the ball, but he has the reputation of being a lazy blocker and lacks the ideal attitude. Don't know if it's true, but if so, he doesn't fit into the Chiefs offense.

Haven't heard anything about him having a tude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" While Okwuegbunam is not a cowardly blocker like some receiving tight ends, Okwuegbunam lacks physicality and doesn't block to his size. Teams also have concerns with his maturity and makeup, so that hurt his draft grade." The above quote is from Walter Football and only repeats what I read somewhere else that I don't recall. Doesn't make it true or unfixable but it did catch my attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
