Having acquired defensive backs Damarious Randall, T.J. Carrie, and Terrance Mitchell, the Cleveland Browns are releasing veteran corner Jason McCourty, reports NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, citing a source.
McCourty confirmed his departure on Twitter:
Cleveland it’s been real! I wish nothing but the best to the guys in that locker room! Thank you to the Haslam’s and the organization for giving me the opportunity to lead and do what I love last season! #DawgPound (J-Mac) pic.twitter.com/exDm7SvWuB

Under new general manager John Dorsey, the Browns are moving quickly to reshape the roster after finishing 0-16 in 2017.
In one year in Cleveland after eight seasons in Tennessee, McCourty recorded three interceptions, two forced fumbles, and 14 passes defensed. He's expected to draw a strong market for his services.
