Brock Osweiler released by Browns

The Cleveland Browns have released quarterback Brock Osweiler.

What It Means:

The Browns attempted to boost Osweiler's trade value during the preseason by giving off the impression he was in contention for the starting job, but no one showed interest. He may be picked up by a team in need once injuries start to set in, but Osweiler's days as an NFL starter are likely over. DeShone Kizer will open the season under center for Cleveland in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Among quarterbacks with at least 500 pass attempts in 2016, Osweiler ranked last in our Net Expected Points per pass metric at -0.05.
