The Cleveland Browns will not tender the 24-year old linebacker and special teams player.

As things currently stand it does not appear that linebacker Tae Davis is in the immediate plans for the Cleveland Browns. The team decided to not tender Davis which will result in him becoming a free agent.

Tae Davis appeared in 22 games for the Browns over the past two seasons, mostly on special teams. It was only 25 total defensive snaps compared to 358 on special teams.

In regards to what the Browns will do to replace Davis? They will evaluate players currently on their roster under contract, look for some free agents to take a flier on, and consider options in the upcoming draft. Unless a player is special teams ace they are relatively inexpensive and replaceable. The Browns should be able to find Davis’ replacement one way or another this offseason.

Andres Gimenez the starting shortstop in Cleveland? That possibility seems to be closer to becoming a reality as Spring Training continues. Manager Terry Francona commented on why the team has experimented with moving Amed Rosario.

Once the news of the team moving Rosario around became known, it seemed almost inevitable that Andres Gimenez would take the shortstop gig and run with it. Barring some unforeseen changes it appears the Cleveland Baseball Club will have their new starting shortstop for the foreseeable future.

The Cleveland Baseball Club optioned three more players Saturday while reassigning another as their roster begins to take shape.

The roster moves keep coming for the Cleveland Baseball Club. After the team made a total of seven roster moves Friday they made another four Saturday. Ernie Clement, Sam Hentges, and Gabriel Arias have been optioned to the minors while Gavin Collins has been reassigned.

Clement and Arias obviously did not have a path to the major league roster with how crowded the infield already is. Hentges could have been a candidate to be a bullpen arm, but the club has decided to look in another direction for the time being. Collins really didn’t have a shot to make the roster considering the team already has Roberto Perez and Austin Hedges manning the catcher position.

Cavaliers blown out by New Orleans 116-82

The Cleveland Cavaliers post-All-Star break return did not go well as the New Orleans Pelicans blew them out.

To be blunt, the Cleveland Cavaliers were awful Friday night as they were completely outclassed by the New Orleans Pelicans. A nine point 3rd quarter highlighted their struggled as the Cavs ended up on the wrong end of a 36-point blowout. Nothing went according to plan and that was very obvious.

There were only three players for the Cavaliers to eclipse the double-digit mark, Collin Sexton (19), Larry Nance Jr. (11), and the recently acquired Quinn Cook (13). New Orleans had five players have 10 points or more including Brandon Ingram with 28 and Zion Williamson with 23.

The return Kevin Love and Larry Nance Jr. were the only positives for the Cavaliers. Love has been out since the third game of the season while Nance has missed the previous 12 games and 17 of the last 20.

As far as players who did not play go, Darius Garland and Taurean Prince did not play in the contest. While their presence could of helped, they would not have made up a 36-point differential. At best they cut it in half and make the game just a little bit more competitive along the way.

Losing in this fashion could be the beginning of an all-out disaster scenario for the Cavaliers. Cleveland has a tough stretch coming up including games against Miami, Boston, San Antonio, Toronto, Los Angeles, and Utah over the remainder of the month. Any outside chance of postseason play could be completely erased by the end of March. This could also lead to a firesale of sorts and that could make the rest of the season absolutely dreadful.

The Cavs travel to Atlanta to take on the Hawks Sunday at 7:30 P.M.
