Browns release Rogers

The Cleveland Browns have released defensive tackle Shaun Rogers and five other veteran players.

A number of the veterans were considered favorites of former head coach Eric Mangini, so it looks like the Browns want to clear out the old regime.

Cleveland would like to go with younger players under the new regime, and Pat Shurmur wants to get rid of the dead wood.

Rogers is by far the biggest name that was cut, and he can be one of the most dominant defensive lineman when healthy.

He was unable to stay healthy the past two seasons, which saw his play slip dramatically. Nonetheless, a bunch of teams will be lining up to take a chance on him.
