Browns waive RB Ben Tate
Tate had just two carries for minus-9 yards in last weekend's loss after [URL='http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11859243/cleveland-browns-rb-ben-tate-happy-team-winning-unsatisfied-diminished-role']complaining earlier in the week about the number of carries he was getting in the Browns' three-running back rotation with Terrance West and Isaiah Crowell.
But a team source told ESPN's Bob Holtzman that the move was primarily a football decision. The Browns are pleased with how West and Crowell, both rookies, are playing and want special-teams production from their third running back, which Tate didn't provide.
Tate agreed to a two-year contract worth up to $7 million in the offseason after serving as Arian Foster's primary backup with the Houston Texans the four previous seasons.
He had six carries for 41 yards in his Cleveland debut, which was soured by a knee injury that forced him to miss nearly a month of action. He ended up playing eight games with 106 carries for 333 yards and four TDs.
