Browns waive CB A.J. Green III after claiming Kahlef Hailassie off of waivers

After three years in Cleveland, A.J. Green III is off the roster.

After three seasons with the team, cornerback A.J. Green III has been waived by the Cleveland Browns. This comes after the Browns were awarded another cornerback in Kahlef Hailassie after he was cut from the Kansas City Chiefs.

For Green III, he has put together a solid career after going undrafted out of Oklahoma State following the 2020 NFL draft. He has spot-started games for the Browns, found time in the slot, and has been a solid special teams contributor in Cleveland.

Green III has the makings of a player the Browns will want back on their practice squad. It is to be seen if a player with Green’s experience will clear waivers, however.

After waiving Green III, the Browns are back down to six cornerbacks on the roster with Denzel Ward, Greg Newsome II, Martin Emerson Jr., Mike Ford Jr., rookie fifth rounder Cameron Mitchell, and the newly added Hailassie.
