The releases make room for rookie contract signings, and also allowed the team to pick up Miami Hurricane OG Derrick Morse, who attended the team's rookie tryouts in April. Morse is 6'4", 325 and recorded middling numbers during workouts. While his numbers aren't impressive, Morse is a plugger who was solid for Miami throughout his career.

Adding Morse presumably gives the Browns more training camp bodies at offensive guard, where the team has had to deal with the injury to RG Ryan Tucker and the release of LeCharles Bentley. Last year's starting RG, Seth McKinney, has been working largely as a backup center, which made the Browns thin at the position during mini-camp.
