Armed with two first-round picks, Cleveland selected cornerback Justin Gilbert and quarterback Johnny Manziel. Both were gone after two tumultuous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, they landed star guard Joel Bitonio in the second round and Kirksey in the third. The latter developed quickly into an integral member of the team both on and off the field. Kirksey went from a part-time starter to a team captain while starting all 32 games from 2016-2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleveland's defensive leader blossomed into an every-down force who literally never came off the field.

He managed to play just two games last season before a torn pectoral resulted in another trip to IR. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having played just nine games the last two seasons, Kirksey's value obviously didn't match his pay.

The Browns would do well to dip into the early- or mid-rounds to unearth another starting-caliber linebacker to fill out the top of the depth chart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After showing one homegrown linebacker the door, and with another one set to hit free agency, the Browns will have to hope they strike gold again at the position in the 2020 NFL draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cleveland Browns cut linebacker Christian Kirksey on Tuesday.
