CLEVELAND (AP) -The Cleveland Browns have released veteran tight end Steve Heiden.
Heiden, who has battled injuries in recent years, was let go by the club hours after Cleveland signed free agent tight end Benjamin Watson to a three-year contract.
Heiden caught just 10 passes last season for 73 yards and one touchdown. He was placed on injured reserve in November (ankle) and missed Cleveland’s final seven games. Heiden underwent reconstructive knee surgery during the previous offseason.
He joined the Browns in 2002 after spending three seasons with San Diego. Heiden has 201 career receptions for 1,689 yards and 14 TDs.
Also, Browns linebacker Jason Trusnik signed his second-round tender. Trusnik came to Cleveland in the October trade that sent wide receiver Braylon Edwards to the New York Jets.
