The Cleveland Browns are cleaning house. On Wednesday, the team terminated the contracts of some big-name players, including their biggest playerenormous nose tackle Shaun Rogers. In addition, the Browns, who are rebuilding once again under new coach Pat Shurmur, also released veteran linebackers Eric Barton and David Bowens, defensive end Kenyon Coleman, tight end Robert Royal and right offensive tackle John St. Clair. The 350-pound-plus Rogers, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, was slowed by injuries and played sparingly last season. He was due to make $5.5 million in 2011 with a $500,000 roster bonus. The Browns announced the cuts in a one-paragraph statement, and moments later Barton expressed his disappointment at being let go on his Twitter account. No longer a Cleveland brown, Barton wrote. Im gonna miss the great friends I met there.
