Kvoethe Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Report: Browns cut Dion Lewis; Isaiah Crowell's spot appears safeAug 30 2014, 9:07 AMDavid P. WoodsThe Cleveland Browns have cut ties with running back Dion Lewis as the team begins the process of getting down to a 53-man roster ahead of Saturday's deadline, Pro Football Talk reports.The move likely indicates that undrafted free agent running back Isaiah Crowell's roster spot is safe. Crowell was used sparingly throughout the first three games of the preseason, but exploded for 102 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries in the finale.Solid move imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utzie Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 According to Grossi, WR Nate Burleson was cut. Seriously, who is going to play WR this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I saw a few threads already for each guy, but I figured 1 thread makes more sense https://mobile.twitter.com/MaryKayCabot?original_referer=http%3A%2F%2Frealcavsfans.com%2Fcommunity%2Findex.php%3Fthreads%2Fbrowns-cut-waiver-claims.44726%2F&tw_i=505716960651653120&tw_p=tweetembed Cuts: WR Nate Burleson HB Dion Lewis HB Chris Ogbonnaya OG Garrett Gilkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopDawg31 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 certainly would not have been Nate as he would probably have re-injured his hammy during practice this week then kicked back and collect a check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDawg31 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I'm really bummed about Oby Why? he has not done anything since he has been here, time to infuse new blood and get better. Keep all the same players and its 4-12 all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibleedbrown Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Wow, looks like they're making the hard cuts first. Kinda surprised about Lewis and Gilkey. Gilkey didn't have a good preseason l know, but l thought he had a decent rep as a solid backup last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin J Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 that means that either Johnson, Gabriel, Benjamin, or Snead is slated to start right? Great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDawg31 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I wonder how the QB lineup will look? Shaw backing up Manziel is like having two of the same QB's. Should we keep a guy on the verge of retirement over Shaw. I think that would be a bad move as would having two rookies backing up Hoyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDawg31 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 that means that either Johnson, Gabriel, Benjamin, or Snead is slated to start right? Great. Gabriel and Snead have looked good and are young and healthy. Johnson is slightly smaller than Gordon so chalk one up for his size. Johnson could be a steal from GB's practice squad once his ACL is 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowburn Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hope someone pops (WR) up on waiver wires and a good decision is to come on which D lineman can get you the biggest trade buck bang.

Ibleedbrown Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 that means that either Johnson, Gabriel, Benjamin, or Snead is slated to start right? Great. I'm ok with this. Johnson is the only one l'm unsure about but supposedly has all the tools. He's got a plate full of opportunity staring him down, so let's see what he does with it. Gabriel's been a spark so far and Smead looks steady. And good to see Benjamin getting back to form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Make-Believe Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I know I shouldn't be surprised considering the injuries and all... but I am. Sad that Burleson was too much of an injury concern to risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson was a guy I was pretty excited about. Did he not play much this preseason, or was he just invisible? I remember seeing him out there, but I don't remember him making any real plays.

Mr. Make-Believe Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I liked Dion Lewis, but I'm very happy that the Browns have decided to keep Crowell around. He looked fantastic in that last game. He's another Josh Gordon type risk/reward right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Make-Believe Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Does he have a bad history? I don't know a ton about him I might be mistaken, but I seem to recall reading something about a checkered past. I don't remember exactly what it entailed. Regardless if I remember correctly or not however, I'm down with it. I love the idea of taking a chance on the occasional high-risk high-talent player.

cvcanedy Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 2012 season[edit] On June 29, Crowell was arrested on a drug charge.[17][18] Crowell was dismissed from the University of Georgia football team due to his arrest. Crowell enrolled at Alabama State in July 2012.[19] During the 2012 season, Crowell ran the ball well having several good games for Alabama State including the breakout performance he displayed on September 29 by rushing for 127 yards which included a 61-yard touchdown run in Alabama State's 54-14 win against Alcorn State.[20] He finished the season as the Hornets' leading rusher while helping Alabama State complete a 7-4 record.
