Will Za'Darius Smith playing opposite Myles Garrett give the Browns the BEST pass rush in the NFL?
...and then there were 53.
Andrew Berry officially cut down the Cleveland Browns roster to its initial 53 man form on Tuesday, as the waiver wire period begins Wednesday afternoon.
Maurice Hurst and Austin Watkins Jr. were the most notable omissions from the initial 53 man roster, while UDFAs Mohamoud Diabete & Ronnie Hickman both made the roster. Jordan Elliott also made the roster over Hurst at the DT position, which is likely a money move. The guys will grade the team's roster heading into Week 1.
The perceived hope is to resign Hurst & Dunn after the waiver wire period, but both are unrestricted free agents who can sign with any team they choose.
The Browns could also go fishing for some more talent on the waiver wire, and the guys are looking into potential cut candidates who could fit their system.
Za'Darius Smith is next up in our 32 in 32 series.
Plus, Ohio State AD Gene Smith returns to the show to preview his final season as the Buckeyes AD.
