He finally did it. For the first time general manager Andrew Berry has cut one of his own draft picks. The Cleveland Browns are bringing back offensive lineman Drew Forbes via a waiver claim, waiving second-year safety Richard LeCounte III to make room.
LeCounte III was in the doghouse last season with the Browns, and has not seen the field much at all in a little over a year with the team. With the emergence of undrafted free agent rookie D’Anthony Bell, LeCounte III remained the odd man out in the secondary. Bell out-snapped LeCounte III on special teams against the Atlanta Falcons, and that was likely the difference.
