Browns release veteran linebacker Kirksey after six seasons
Browns cut Christian Kirksey amid injury troubles and a shifting linebacker room.

The move follows a four year 38 million extension signed in 2017 and injury plagued last seasons. Kirksey quickly visited free agent markets as teams weigh linebacker options.
