Tuesday, a unique move was filed on the NFL’s official transaction log. Browns practice squad DE Isaac Rochell terminated his contract with the team. This is a normal process when a player has been signed to another team’s active roster or wants a chance to catch on somewhere else. Usually, that new team signing is made on the same day.

Rochell played in six games for Cleveland this year accumulating 12 tackles, one tackle for loss and two quarterback hits in 135 snaps on defense. He also had 15 snaps on special teams.
