It was just announced that The Cleveland Browns Cut Karlos Dansby and Dwayne Bowe after a disappointing 2015!!!
Find out the details on the flip on why Karlos Dansby and Dwayne Bowe were cut…
Karlos Dansby and Dwayne Bowe have made headlines today after The Cleveland Browns announced that they’ve release the wide receiver and linebacker!
CelebNSports247.com got word that wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, 31, was supposed to be their go-to guy, but things didn’t turn out.
Even though the Browns inked Bowe to a two-year deal worth $12.5 million with $9 million guaranteed last year, according to Spotrac, he was virtually invisible in 2015 with just five catches in seven games.
As for Bowe salary, Andrew Brandt of ESPN noted Bowe’s $9 million compensation last year was greater than New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s, who made $8 million. The former LSU Tiger played the first eight seasons of his career in Kansas City and made the Pro Bowl in 2010 with 1,162 receiving yards and 15 touchdown catches. He was KCs first-round draft pick in 2007.
Bowe became the poster child for the dysfunction of the team in 2015. One of the worst free-agent signings in team history, he was given a two-year, $12.5 million deal a year ago after he was released by Kansas City.

The Kansas City Chiefs made Bowe a first-round draft pick in 2007. Last September, Dwayne Bowe didn’t start a game for the The Cleveland Browns in 2015.
In addition to Bowe, Linebacker Karlos Dansby was also cut by The Cleveland Browns today!
The Browns made the announcement on Wednesday in a statement made by Browns executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown who said:
“We want to thank Karlos for his service to the Cleveland Browns during the past two seasons.”
“He was a dedicated, hard-working leader of our defense and we wish him the best as he continues his career.”
The news of his release came after they announced the signing of Demario Davis as a free agent from the Jets. Karlos Dansby said this before his release was announced:
“They explained it to me when they called.”
“It’s a rebuilding process. I’m cool with that decision. I’m just glad they gave me the opportunity to go see what else is out there for me.”
ESPN Reports:
Dansby was one of the first big-money free agents signed by the team and former general manager Ray Farmer.
He signed a four-year, $24 million deal on the first day of free agency in 2014. He was due to make $5 million in each of the next two seasons. The Browns save $3.5 million in cap space by releasing him but will carry a $3 million cap cost for the move.
Dansby said:
“It’s a rebuilding process…Every team goes through it. I just got caught in the wave before it finished. I hate that, but it’s part of the game.”
