Browns: The 5 players Cleveland should cut come Tuesday

WR Alexander Hollins

Someone else’s job is exactly what everyone is competing for. Being cut isn’t a sign that you’re a bad player, it’s a sign that you’re not a good enough player to warrant someone else getting cut instead of you. Cue Alexander Hollins.

Hollins isn’t a bad player by any means but he certainly isn’t one that the Browns should invest any more time on. Besides a spot on the practice squad; and even that is up for a debate.

While outlets like Dawgs By Nature talk about Hollins being a potential “younger and faster version” of Rashard Higgin, the truth is that Hollins has shown nothing to warrant a spot on the team. The Browns are deep at receiver with more than their fair share of guys who need time to prove what they’re about.

The one argument to keep him as Dawgs by Nature pointed out, is the need for less-expensive receivers. The problem is that you’re not cutting Higgins to help free up cap space. No, you would instead cut, trade, or restructure the contracts of Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. Since their numbers are so much bigger, they would provide far more salary-cap relief.

Hollins isn’t likely to make the team, and the Browns are already eight deep at the position without him involved. Missing the game against Jacksonville just clinched it.
