Back when he signed with the Cleveland Browns following the 2020 NFL Draft, offensive tackle Alex Taylor was touted by many as one of the best undrafted free agent acquisitions around the league.
The long (6-foot-9) tackle with the spindly arms from South Carolina State performed capably enough during Senior Bowl week to generate some buzz, but the infatuation faded once the NFL finally put on pads. At just 294 pounds, his lack of strength and experience against most physical defenders was a real problem. Taylor got injured early in Browns training camp and wound up being waived with an injury designation.
Now Taylor has taken an injury settlement from the club. He is free to sign with any other team and the Browns will receive no compensation in return.
