Browns terminate contract of linebacker Paul Kruger

LinebackerPaul Kruger is out of a job, and he's not happy with the Cleveland Browns' decision.

The team announced that it had terminated the contracts of Kruger and quarterback Austin Davis on Monday as part of their roster cutdown.

Kruger, who received a five-year, $40 million contract in 2013, had 11 sacks in 2014 but only 2.5 last season. He issued a statement on Monday, thanking the Browns organization and their "relentless fans."

"My experience has been amazing and I will miss wearing a Browns #99," he also wrote. "Although completely miss handled, unfortunate and absolutely the wrong decision to release me I do wish the Browns and especially my teammate brothers great success."

Davis played in three games for the Browns last season, making two starts and losing them both. His most extensive action came in 2014 when he played in 10 games for the Rams, starting eight contests and going 3-5 with 2001 passing yards, 12 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
