When teams named their initial 53-man rosters this past week, there were some former Cleveland Browns who were cut, such as offensive tackle Jedrick Wills, who was attempting to make his comeback to the NFL.
Now, let’s go through and try to come up with a bigger list of all the former Browns who didn’t survive this year’s camp across the NFL. Some of the names may make you think, “Oh, I didn’t realize they were still in the NFL.” When you think of the number of former Browns each camp, though, it’s
also a sign of just how few names there are, meaning a lot of these players get one or two training camps, and then are never in the NFL again. Could that be the case with a guy like Luke Floriea?
The players below with an asterisk did land on another team’s practice squad, at least.

On a side note, three Browns players from this year’s training camp were signed to another team’s practice squad: C Kingsley Eguakun (Giants), WR Cedric Tillman (Saints) and RB Davon Booth (Colts).
Are there any former Browns players who you would like to be seen given a second chance at some point?
