The Cleveland Browns cut 16 players while terminating the contract of one player on Saturday morning as they aim to establish the final 53-man roster by 6 p.m.
The list of players cut by the Browns includes:
- Â DB Coye Francies
- Â DB Ramzee Robinson
- Â DB DeAngelo Smith
- Â DL Travis Ivey
- Â OL Phil Trautwein
- Â OL Branndon Braxton
- Â DL Andre Carroll
- Â WR L.J. Castille
- Â OL Carlton Ford
- Â TE Evan Frosch
- Â DB Carl Gettis
- Â LB Eric Gordon
- Â WR Chris Matthews
- Â LB Steve Octavien
- Â DL Ko Quaye
- Â LB Sidney Tarver
-  WR Demetrius Williams (contract terminated)
There aren’t many surprises on this list, though Francies is the most notable name on the list, as he went into training camp as a potential nickelback. This move might pave the way for undrafted rookie James Dockery to claim a spot on the final roster.
More moves will be coming today, at which time more notable names will find themselves cut.
