Bother by a hamstring injury during camp, Nate Burleson never really go a chance to show the Cleveland Browns if there was anything left in the tank.<\/p>\n

On Saturday morning the team cut the 33-year-old wide receiver.<\/p>\n

Given the lackluster names on the Browns depth chart at receiver this is not a good sign for the future of Burleson’s career. Another bad sign is the 15 total games he has appeared in over the last two seasons.<\/p>\n
