Cleveland Browns release defensive back Charles Gaines
The Cleveland Browns continue the roster purge of cornerbacks, releasing second-year player Charles Gaines.
The Cleveland Browns continued to trim the excess cornerbacks off the roster by releasing second-year player Charles Gaines on Friday.
The news was reported by ESPN’s Adam Caplan.
Gaines joins Pierre Desir, who was also released on Friday, as another one of former general manager Ray Farmer’s draft picks to be let go.
The Browns selected the 5-foot-10, 180-pound Gaines in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft out of Louisville, where he had seven interceptions in two seasons after switching from the wide receiver position.
