Cutting Orpheus Roye and Tim Carter

Cutting Orpheus Roye and Tim Carter
First a look at Roye. He’s 32, was having significantly more issues stopping the run last year than either of the Smiths. This was a pretty straightforward and easy decision for the browns. It did leave a whole open to fill, but one could argue that even with Roye there, the whole existed
Now Carter: 8 catches. He’s fast, but has a hard time catching the ball. I was disappointed with this trade when the Browns made it. They clearly needed more help at other positions (DL, OLB), and even a 4th or 5th round pick would have been better for two reasons. 1) Carter is terrible 2) Wilson would have been playing, and we wouldn’t have another year wondering what to do with him. Cutting him this year makes sense, and I’d be surprised if he gets picked up.
