Much of the conversation around head coach Todd Monken and the Cleveland Browns this offseason has centered on the looming rebuild of their offensive line. As Tuesday’s pair of roster moves prove, you sometimes have to remove the existing structure first before getting to work on the next project.
Therein lies the problem for Cleveland, which announced the release of two reserve offensive linemen in veteran Cornelius Lucas and undrafted rookie Justin Osborne. Both moves are unsurprising and will save the Browns some modest salary cap space (about $2 million total). But the painful part is the depth of these cuts, as in, how much of the team's returning offensive line group will even be leftover?
