Cleveland Browns: Which players were part of the 53-man roster cut?
By Randy Gurzi
The NFL set 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, Sep. 1 as the deadline for trimming rosters down to 53 players. Find out which Cleveland Browns players have been released here.
It’s a sad day around the league as NFL rosters are trimmed down to 53 players. Many who we have watched all offseason try and make an impression and land a job with the Cleveland Browns will get terrible news today.
While there have been months of work and film study leading up to this day, the news will come in fast. We will do our best here at Dawg Pound Daily to keep you up to date with a list of players who were let go by the Browns.
Some names cam through early as we saw on Friday that ‘Hard Knocks’ standout Brogan Roback was informed of his release and will not be the third quarterback behind Tyrod Taylor and No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield.

Instead, it looks like they prefer the 34-year old Drew Stanton, who they see as a mentor for Mayfield during his first season in the NFL. Cleveland may try and get Roback on the practice squad as he showed a promising arm in his limited time on the field — that is, of course, as long as no team places a waiver claim for him.
It also looks like another ‘Hard Knocks‘ star won’t make the cut as NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport has suggested tight end Devon Cajuste won’t make the team.
One of the most surprising names on this list has to be defensive tackle Caleb Brantley. He had a shot to make the starting team, but instead hits the waiver wire.
See our list below and see what other players missed the cut.
