Browns trim down wide receiver room by releasing Cedric Tillman
The former third rounder's time in Cleveland has come to an end.
The Cleveland Browns trimmed their wide receiver roster on Thursday night by releasing former third-round pick Cedric Tillman before the preseason finale against the New England Patriots. Tillman, who had appeared in 38 games over three seasons with the team, started 19 of them and recorded 71 receptions for 833 yards and five touchdowns.
However, he struggled with injuries and inconsistency, particularly when starting at a high level. ESPN's Adam Schefter broke the news of his release. Now, the team must decide who will fill the void left by Tillman's departure. Options include undrafted free agent Luke Floriea, who could fill a spot at the back end of the wide receiver room, or Gage Larvadain, who might retain his position due to his contributions on special teams, despite struggling as a returner last season.
