Taylor

Taylor added very little to the Browns in 2019, seeing the field on just 58 defensive snaps while mostly functioning in a special teams capacity. Wherever he lands next will be the 29-year-old’s third team in as many seasons.

Taylor only got three snaps in against the Titans before exiting. He’s merely depth behind the team’s stacked front-seven and is fully expected to miss the next few weeks to heal.

Taylor took over as a starter after Kwon Alexander tore his ACL last season and played 634 snaps. He received horrendous marks from Pro Football Focus for his run defense, and the Bucs as a team fell off a cliff against the run when Taylor entered the lineup. Taylor shouldn’t be viewed as a starter for a Browns team with playoff aspirations.

A 2014 UDFA, Glanton made the first four starts of his career in 2017. He spent the final few weeks of the season on injured reserve with a broken leg. Glanton will hunt for reserve/special teams work in free agency.

The deal includes a $250,000 signing bonus. A reserve on defense, Glanton’s value is derived from being a core special teamer.

The team waived S Robert Lester in a corresponding move. With Chase Blackburn (knee) sidelined, Glanton will likely help on special teams.

Glanton was starting in place of LB Lavonte David.

Glanton was carted off the field on Monday night with his leg in an air cast, and he had surgery Tuesday morning. He should be ready for the offseason program if the Bucs decide to tender him.
