Browns Make Minor Trade With Saints

September 1st, 2018 at 3:30pm CST by Zachary Links

The Browns have reached the 53-man roster maximum by making a whole lot of cuts and acquiring one player just before the bell.

On Saturday, the Browns announced that they acquired defensive lineman Devaroe Lawrence from the Saints in exchange for a 2019 seventh-round pick. Lawrence, 26 in October, overcame legal trouble as a youngster to achieve his dream of making it to the NFL. Injuries have held him back in the pros, but the Saints stuck by him even after ACL surgery in December of 2016.

“We felt he was athletic, explosive and we felt like he could recover,” said Saints coach Sean Payton (via Luke Johnson of The Times-Picayune). “In other words, he was battling an injury and we saw traits that are hard to find sometimes for defensive tackles, and it’s hard to find that position, especially after the draft.”

So, with Lawrence in the fold, the Browns waived the following 19 players to get down to the limit:

LB B.J. Bello
DL Caleb Brantley
TE Devon Cajuste
RB Matthew Dayes
OL Christian DiLauro
OL Spencer Drango
DL Daniel Ekuale
DL Zaycoven Henderson
RB Dontrell Hilliard
WR Blake Jackson
DB Mike Jordan
DB Montrel Meander
DL Nate Orchard
DB Tigie Sankoh
WR Da’Mari Scott
LB Brady Sheldon
DB Simeon Thomas
P Justin Vogel
FB Danny Vitale (waived/injured)
