Browns cut TE Gary Barnidge after selecting David Njoku

Anakim : 4/28/2017 3:00 pm
FYI. He had a nice year last year as well (55 catches) and made the Pro Bowl in 2015. Sucks for the guy.
seems silly to cut him

Too bad we're loaded

I would think they could've gotten a draft pick for him. Then again, they have like 20 draft picks this year and next.
55 catches  
pjcas18 : 4/28/2017 3:05 pm : link
(forgetting about yards) are like a slightly better Will Tye. Not really a "nice season".

Now his 2015, that was a nice season (80 catches 1000 yards, 9 TD's).

major drop off last year.

Working with the QB's that he had, I'd say that was a nice season lol

Expected with that QB and OL
Good player  
rasbutant : 4/28/2017 3:12 pm : link
Bring him in.

Doubt he would come to us, with our depth chart be this is the type of player Eli excels with.

Yeah, Manziel was the difference.

McCown and Kessler (and RG3) vs McCown and Manziel and Austin Davis.

Not sure the QB is to blame here.

They did lose a couple OL, no denying that though. Still don't think it explains everything, Pryor and Duke Johnson had better stats.

And Crowell turned into a beast running the ball in 2016 (and Duke improved too)
I would pick him up...

He's not that good.
Well of course they did, only good  
barens : 4/28/2017 3:58 pm : link
Teams have more than one good tight end..
CLE had a terrible QB situation  
KWALL2 : 4/28/2017 4:09 pm : link
Its amazing he even caught 55.

He can still play. Somebody is going to get a very good TE for a couple of years.
Lucky him  
ZogZerg : 4/28/2017 4:10 pm : link
Happiest guy in Cleveland.
He'll be wearing  
old man : 4/28/2017 4:18 pm : link
The other red, white(OK, silver), and blue.
Can't have 'nuff TEs.

I instantly thought patriots myself when I heard the news ...
I don't get it,  
phil in arizona : 4/28/2017 4:23 pm : link
they could have traded him or adopted a heck of a 2 TE set
Maybe he's damaged goods  
UConn4523 : 4/28/2017 4:25 pm : link
can't look at everything at face value. He's 31, that isn't young.
The guy  
YANKEE28 : 4/28/2017 5:17 pm : link
to keep an eye on for release in Cleveland is Desmond Bryant.

Bryant missed last season after tearing a pec while lifting weights. He is 31, but is a solid 3 technique that can get to the quarterback (6 sacks in 2015).

Bryant is a Harvard guy that has been relatively healthy through out his career. With Myles Garrett as their top pick, there could be a youth movement along the D line of the Browns.

Bryant would be a huge upgrade over Bromley and Thomas.

Not saying he will be released, but its worth following as the Browns still have a lot of draft picks to use this weekend on a roster that can only hold 90.

Pretty hard to blame any player on offense on that team for a drop off.
Awful move by CLE  
Tim in Eternal Blue : 4/28/2017 7:38 pm : link
Perfect mentor for DN. Only saves a mil in cap space.

I would definitely bring him in depending on price. Absolutely. Turn a weakness for years into a huge strength
Seems odd  
Cenotaph : 4/28/2017 7:51 pm : link
Not like CLE needs cap space, so can only guess they're committed to going young. Still, think he could be a useful piece alongside Njoku while he gets up to speed, since he is very young and supposed to be raw. Even then, teams need multiple TEs, I wasn't aware of anyone else of note on the roster?

I'd say he's worth a look at a low price, but not sure we really have a place for him (oddly enough). Engram, Ellison & Adams are probably locks, and considering Ellison fills the FB role (my guess), we may keep 4 and I'd guess Tye would be that guy. Barnidge better than Tye, but with Ellison/Engram probably 1-2, it's not a large role. And my hope anyway is that Adams steps up and at least fills that role, as a solid blocker who maybe catches a few balls in odd situations.
