The Browns cut six veterans on Wednesday, including tight end Robert Royal, offensive tackle John St. Clair, defensive linemen Shaun Rogers and Kenyon Coleman and linebackers David Bowens and Eric Barton. The players were considered favorites of former coach Eric Mangini. "We kind of had a feeling that with a new regime Cleveland wanted to go with younger players," said Bowens' agent, Harold Lewis. "David was Eric's guy and [former defensive coordianator] Rob Ryan's guy. So it's not a surprise."
