Carl Nassib has been offering financial advice to his teammates. On Sunday
Jameis Winston Jersey , he got caught in the Browns' numbers crunch.Nassib and fellow veteran defensive lineman Jamie Meder were the two most notable players waived by Cleveland, which has overhauled its roster under
general manager John Dorsey following a historic 0-16 season.
A 2016 third-round pick, Nassib had a memorable appearance on HBO's "Hard Knocks" this summer when he gave investment tips during a meeting to teammates
while using some colorful language. He started 12 games and recorded three sacks
for Cleveland last season, but the Browns are rebuilding and Nassib isn't part
of the transformation.
Meder, too, is looking for a new team. A Cleveland-area native, Meder had been with the Browns since being signed to the practice squad. He started 16 of
43 games and made his biggest impact by blocking a field goal in the waning
moment of a Christmas Eve game in 2016 against San Diego that secured the
Browns' only win in the past two seasons under coach Hue Jackson.
The team also waived offensive lineman Austin Reiter
P.J. Williams Jersey , linebacker Jermaine Grace and defensive back Jeremiah McKinnon.
As expected, Dorsey was active on the waiver wire, claiming five players: defensive linemen Carl Davis (Baltimore) and Ifeadi Odenigbo (Minnesota),
offensive lineman Aaron Neary (Los Angeles Rams) , defensive back Tavierre
Thomas (Arizona) and linebacker Tanner Vallejo (Buffalo).
The bottom of Cleveland's roster could be in flux all season under Dorsey, who since being hired in December has been among the league's busiest executive
in free agency, draft preparation and other signings.
"We have actually turned the roster over 59 percent from last year's roster. That does not happen unless you have a plan
Byron Maxwell Jersey ," Dorsey said. "That plan was developed in mid-January with the input of the coaches and the personnel staff putting this
thing together. Once we identified what we needed, we used whatever resources
that were available.
"Of course, when you are sitting in the No. 1 waiver claim position, you always go attack the final two or three claims and see what is out there. We
thought that it would be best if we picked up five players who we think could
help this team. At the end of the day, I think that we are a better football
team on both sides of the line of scrimmage."
The Browns will announce their practice squad on Monday.
Former TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin was arrested Wednesday at his North Texas home and
charged with aggravated assault after his girlfriend accused him of beating her
severely at his home.
Boykin was arrested at his Mansfield, Texas, home after Mansfield police reviewed footage of a March 21 incident captured by Boykin's security video
system
Willie Snead IV Jersey , according to a police statement.
He's been booked into the Mansfield city jail and remains without bond, pending arraignment.
The Seattle Seahawks released Boykin from its practice squad Tuesday after WFAA-TV in Dallas posted an interview with Boykin's girlfriend in which she
alleged he broke her jaw.
Boykin, 24, has denied the allegations, and his agent Drew Pittman told the station the allegations are false. Calls to Pittman by The Associated Press went
unanswered Wednesday.
The assault allegation is the latest off-field issue for Boykin, who has spent his NFL career with Seattle.
He was arrested in Dallas last year when a vehicle he was a passenger in hit several people on a sidewalk. He fled the scene on foot but was later arrested
on misdemeanor charges of public intoxication and possession of marijuana.
In 2015, Boykin was arrested for assaulting a police officer and public intoxication shortly before the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio during his senior
season at TCU. Boykin
Russell Bodine Jersey , who was the team's quarterback, was suspended for the bowl game.
