The Cleveland Browns made a series of roster moves on Friday in order to reach the NFL required 53-man roster limit. Two veteran players were released. TE Evan Moore and QB Seneca Wallace. Both players are vested veterans and will be free to sign with any other franchise immediately without having to go through waivers. The release of Wallace might not signal that Cleveland is content to stand pat with Colt McCoy as Brandon Weeden’s backup however. Rumors suggest that the Browns are interested in acquiring QB A.J. Feeley.
Brown’s LB Scott Fujita was placed on the suspended list and will not count against the team’s 53-man roster. Cleveland also traded S David Sims to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a conditional 2013 draft pick.
Eighteen players were waived by the Browns on Friday-
Dominic Alford OL
Ronnie Cameron DL
Josh Cooper WR
Stanley Daniels OL
James Dockery DB
Garth Gerhart OL
William Green DL
Dan Gronkowski TE
Benjamin Jacobs LB
Ernest Owusu DL
