You mean create another circus-like atmosphere in an dick-swinging contest? No thanks. I would hope that they would sign him to a low-risk deal, and cut him if he doesn't work out.

I do hope that Rogers could be a good stop-gap to see if Bryant continues to play well or to get a rookie developed.

Although, aren't teams unable to sign free agents due to no CBA?

You are right about the context of Rogers' release.

As said elsewhere, those who think of him as dominant perhaps overlook that he was not very good last year, even leaving aside his injuries. IMO Kenyon Coleman, who plays 3-4 DE, would be the better ex-Brown to get.

As for your question, the recently cut Browns became FA's by being cut, not from having lapsed contracts and service years changed by the end of the league year. They also have enough service time to be UFA's. Therefore anyone can sign them now, CBA or not.
