A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that the Cleveland Browns will release struggling kicker Cade York.
After a rough exhibition season for the highly touted second-year kicker, York is being released by Cleveland after the team acquired veteran kicker Dustin Hopkins in a trade with the Los Angeles Chargers, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Monday.
York expressed his frustration afterward, saying he wanted"to be a weapon," but also snapping at a reporter's question. York's struggles at least partly contributed to the Browns firing special teams coordinator Mike Priefer and adding Bubba Ventrone. The Browns went to work on finding a replacement and landed the 32-year-old Hopkins, who was available after he was beaten out this summer by Dicker. The Chargers signed Dicker last season after Hopkins got hurt.
