The Cleveland Browns had a busy weekend with moves just becoming official on Monday through the NFL’s official transaction document.
Two moves discussed over the weekend became official as the team signed OL Joe Haeg and TE Jesse James to the 53-man roster. James and Haeg both visited with the team earlier in the week.
Haeg gives the team some depth at tackle with Jack Conklin recovering from his major knee injury last year. James gives the Browns a third tight end behind David Njoku and Harrison Bryant.
Brad Stainbrook of The OBR had the initial report on James’ signing on Friday.
To make room for Haeg and James, Cleveland released OL Drew Forbes and LB Jordan Kunaszyk.
Forbes was the team’s sixth-round draft pick in 2019. He’s only played in three games with the Browns since being drafted.
Kunaszyk was added to the training camp roster late but was an important part of special teams leading to him making the initial 53-man roster.
Both Forbes and Kunaszyk could be brought back on the team’s practice squad if they clear waivers.
