CLEVELAND (AP) — Wide receiver Jaelen Strong has been waived by the

Cleveland Browns.Strong posted a thank you Monday night on Twitter Joel Bitonio Color Rush Jersey , saying Cleveland will “always have a place in my heart.” The team is expected to make an official announcement Tuesday.The 26-year-old Strong was hoping to catch on with the Browns after missing all of last season following knee surgery. He had some impressive moments in training camp and the preseason, but Strong didn’t play well in Friday’s loss at Tampa Bay and the Browns felt he wasn’t worth keeping on their roster.Strong caught a touchdown pass in Cleveland’s second exhibition game at Indianapolis.A fourth-year pro, Strong played in 19 games for Houston and one with Jacksonville.

For the past two years, the only late-season “rooting guides” we could write about were ones that would improve the Cleveland Browns’ draft position (i.e. see Week 17 of the 2017 season). Even though 3-6-1 might still feel like a bit of a stretch to start thinking about the playoffs https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Terrance-Mitchell-Jersey , we don’t care!

There are a lot of teams (six) that need to lose — it won’t all happen in one week, but the idea is that Cleveland builds a winning streak, and week-by-week, the Browns move up as a subset of teams suffer a loss.Cleveland Browns defeat Cincinnati BengalsOakland Raiders defeat Baltimore RavensPittsburgh Steelers defeat Denver BroncosHouston Texans defeat Tennessee TitansMiami Dolphins vs. Indianapolis Colts - Both of these teams are 5-5 Genard Avery Color Rush Jersey , and they each have relatively soft schedules moving forward. Therefore, it is a push on who to root for — but whoever wins this week, then we root for them to lose in the following week.These outcomes would allow Cleveland to move up to the 11th spot in the AFC.
