Ex-Browns who made the cut elsewhere

Lots of news pegs going into this weekend’s season opener, but now that rosters around the NFL are down to 53 men, here’s a list of former Browns who made the cut (and didn’t) with other teams.

It’s interesting to reflect on our past moves and compare previous expectations with the current assessment of the league’s personnel decision-makers. Who do you miss? Are any units of ex-Browns better than those on our current roster?
