Jadeveon Clowney: Designated as post-June 1 cut

The Browns released Clowney on Wednesday, the team announced.

This is a pure bookkeeping move, as Clowney's contract was already set to end. Cleveland is just spreading out the cap hit, making him a post-June 1 cut. Clowney recorded just two sacks in 12 games opposite Myles Garrett last season. The No. 1 overall pick of the 2014 Draft will be looking for his fifth team this offseason. Clowney has just 43 career sacks across 109 games.
