It appears the Browns are down to four quarterbacks.
Connor Shaw said goodbye to Cleveland in a Twitter post on Thursday that said he “learned and grew a lot” during his two years with the team. There’s been no official word from the Browns at this point, but a move was expected with the Browns also carrying Robert Griffin III, Josh McCown, Austin Davis and rookie Cody Kessler.
Shaw signed with the Browns as an undrafted free agent in 2014 and spent most of the year on the practice squad before getting tabbed to start the regular season finale. He went 14-of-28 for 177 yards and an interception and spent last season on injured reserve after a preseason thumb injury.
The Browns said this offseason that every quarterback on the roster was competing to start, but the signs pointed to Griffin as their on-field work unfolded. Things will pick back up in training camp without Shaw in the mix.
UPDATE 3:14 p.m. ET: The Browns announced that Shaw has been waived.
