There is one thing that is very clear about the Cleveland Browns kicking situation, the team believes in rookie Cade York. Head coach Kevin Stefanski stated that York will not have competition during training camp

This announcement comes just one day after Cleveland waived Chase McLaughlin and Chris Blewitt. A front office and coaching staff must have a ton of belief in a kicker to draft him. That belief goes even further when a team moves on from two kickers with experience to hand the reigns over to Cade York.

Browns waive two kickers

The Cleveland Browns have waived kickers Chase McLaughlin and Chris Blewitt following their decision to draft LSU’s Cade York.

McLaughlin was Cleveland’s kicker last season, making 15 of 21 field goals and 36 of 37 extra points. Blewitt has appeared in just two games with Washington making two of five field goal attempts and both extra-points.

The Browns decision to draft York essentially ended both McLaughlin’s and Blewitt’s time in Cleveland. All is well so far as York plans to reach out to Phil Dawson about kicking in Cleveland.

Browns activate four, release two others

The Cleveland Browns have activated four players from the reserve/COVID-19 list while releasing two others.

As expected, the Cleveland Browns continue to get more players back before Monday’s tilt in Pittsburgh. Cleveland activated Jordan Elliott, Chase McLaughlin, Greg Newsome, and JC Tretter. The Browns also released Chris Naggar and Josiah Bronson.

While McLaughlin may have to battle for his job with Chris Blewitt, Newsome and Tretter are both starters and Elliott is a role player. Getting these types of players back can only help the Browns in their uphill battle to make the playoffs.
