The Browns have released 27-year old NT/DT Shaun Smith.  Smith played in 11 games for the Browns last season and he made 36 tackles and forced a fumble.  In two years with the Browns, Smith played in 26 games in which he made 98 tackles, defensed 3 passes, had 2 sacks and forced 2 fumbles.  Smith’s biggest problem in Cleveland was that he had a hard time getting along with other players and coaches.  The Browns forgave him of his right with Brady Quinn last season but they couldn’t let him get away with disrespecting coach Bryan Cox.  He was quickly signed by the Lions.
