The Browns terminated the contract of offensive lineman Alvin Bailey and waived defensive backs Tracy Howard and Trae Elston, the team announced Thursday.
Bailey started five games (two at right guard and three at left guard) and appeared in nine others last season after signing with the Browns as a free agent in 2016. He served a two-game suspension from the NFL after he was found guilty of operating a vehicle impaired last fall in North Royalton.
Howard appeared in 15 games with three starts at free safety last season as an undrafted rookie from the University of Miami.
