3:40 PM: The remainder of the roster moves are in. The Browns only cut one more player: DL Brian Schaefering. To reach the 75-man limit, the team confirmed that WR Joe Jurevicius will remain on the PUP list, and WR Kevin Kasper was placed on the injured reserve.

Jurevicius will miss the first six weeks of the regular season, and if he does return, it must be between Week 7 and Week 9.

I'm going to toot my own horn here by correctly guessing that one of our early moves would be to place Kasper on the IR. Because I don't expect him to be out all season, I wouldn't be surprised if the Browns paid him an injury settlement in a few weeks, officially releasing him from our roster altogether.

12:10 PM: According to the the Morning Call, RB Austin Scott has been released by the Browns. That means I'm currently 1-for-2 in my projection (I did not predict DB Damon Jenkins would be cut in the first go around).

"It's a little disappointing today," said Chris Lencheski, Scott's agent. "I'm trying to keep Austin upbeat. I reminded him that this is a business. If he's not with the Browns now, he may be in two or three weeks with the practice squad. And there are other teams. We are looking at solutions from a 360-degree perspective.

OFFICIAL CUT LIST:

• DB Damon Jenkins
• RB Austin Scott
• DL Brian Schaefering

KEPT ON PUP LIST:

• WR Joe Jurevicius

INJURED RESERVE:

• WR Kevin Kasper
  

Don't worry loyal readers: I haven't gone on a "trade them all" rampage like Jay / Ryan over at Let's Go Tribe just yet. Believe it or not, me posting this item has nothing to do with the Browns playing poorly in their second consecutive preseason game.

It's a fact that the first roster cuts are due in on August 26 (this Tuesday). So, considering our current roster, I want you to act like you are Romeo Crennel and Phil Savage. You only need to make five cuts, and it's very unlikely that we would go over that amount. In otherwords, please don't reply saying "I would cut ten people" unless you really believe you have a legitimate point.

Here are my first five cuts (these are the ones I projected prior to the Lions game):

1. DB Brandon Mitchell - With Jones and Pool nursing injuries, this one may not actually happen now. Sticking with my original instincts though.
   
2. RB Austin Scott - The team seems to prefer RB Travis Thomas just a little bit more, though honestly I could care less which back goes first.
   
3. DL Brian Schaefering - I saw him for the first time against the Lions. Too many players are ahead of him in the running though, and it makes sense to dump the bottom of the depth chart if you're looking to give former draft picks Melila Purcell and Chase Pittman more reps in the preseason finale.
   
4. OL Jonathan Palmer - I'm not really fond of Isaac Sowells or James Lee at this point, but Palmer is probably behind them on the depth chart too, leaving the competition down to just two men for the backup tackle role.
   
5. TE Kolo Kapanui - Yet to really make any impact; appears as though four tight ends are ahead of him on depth chart.
   

While not required, please feel free to elaborate on some of your cuts. If you list a third-string player who never gets in on the action, I think it'll be self-explanatory. But, if you're going to cut a player like Travis Wilson or David McMillan right away, please explain why since those cuts, if necessary, can be made after our fourth preseason game. Your argument doesn't have to be sane to be acceptable; just provide a basis of where you're coming from and I'll be pleased ;)

P.S. My review of the ever-so-boring Lions / Browns preseason contest is due some time Sunday. Check back often.
