The constant movement on the Cleveland Browns roster can be dizzying. GM Andrew Berry doesn’t like to keep things status quo, especially at the bottom of the 53-man roster.
Monday, we got confirmation that OL Joe Haeg and TE Jesse James were signing with the team which led to the Browns waiving OL Drew Forbes and LB Jordan Kunaszyk.
Forbes was one of many backups on the interior of the offensive line where Berry decided the need at offensive tackle and the talent of Haeg was more needed. Kunaszyk was one of the surprise members of the initial 53-man roster.
One day later, the waiver process has concluded with Forbes being claimed by the Detroit Lions and Kunaszyk going unclaimed and returning to the team’s practice squad.
The Lions claiming Forbes does not come as a surprise. John Dorsey was Cleveland’s general manager when Forbes was selected and Detroit has some talent deficiencies around their roster.
It was also not surprising for Kunaszyk to go unclaimed. The Browns signed him late in training camp as he waited around for an opportunity. He could be brought up if needed for special teams duties early in the season.
