Browns release DE Rucker

Defensive end Frostee Rucker was released by the Cleveland Browns after just one season with the team.

Rucker was a productive part of a rotation with Juqua Parker last season, finishing with 48 tackles, four sacks and a forced fumble while starting 16 games, but was a victim of the Browns' planned switch to a 3-4 defense.

He signed a five-year deal last offseason that included $8 million in guaranteed money.
