inevitable on Monday: The release of kicker Zane Gonzalez and the signing of his replacement Authentic Duke Johnson Jersey , undrafted rookie Greg Joseph.Gonzalez missed four kicks—two field goals and two extra points—in the Browns’ Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints. He also missed what would have been a game-winning field goal in overtime against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1.In his two years with the Browns, Gonzalez managed to convert only 68 percent of his field goals, and as noted by Bleacher Report’s Ryan McCrystal, “anything below 75% is pretty much unheard of these days, and means you’re probably out of the league very soon.”The rookie Joseph may or may not prove to be much of an upgrade, though. The Johannesburg, South Africa native doesn’t have a much better field-goal make percentage in his four years as the kicker for Florida Atlantic, at 69 percent. His extra-point make percentage of 97.1 percent, though, is strikingly better than Gonzalez’s 90.3 percent.It’s possible that Gonzalez’s struggles this year are injury-related; ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted that Gonzalez “has been kicking with a groin injury,” though the kicker did not show up on the Browns’ injury report this week nor was injury mentioned in the Browns’ announcement of his waiving.While the Browns also had some interest in veteran kickers Blair Walsh and Cairo Santos Womens Myles Garrett Jersey , they decided to defer to the younger, yet less-experienced Joseph. Meanwhile, it’s expected the Minnesota Vikings will sign free agent Dan Bailey after releasing rookie kicker Daniel Carlson on Monday.Cleveland Browns Training Camp 2018: WR Preview, Part 3 In Part 3 of our training camp preview on the Cleveland Browns’ wide receivers, we look at the final four receivers on the roster.Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports9. Damion Ratley - Undrafted Free Agent ReceiverHeight: 6-2 | Weight: 200 lbs | Age: 23Experience: Rookie | College: Texas A&MDamion Ratley was an early sixth round draft pick by the Browns this year. During his 3 years at Texas A&M, he only totaled 47 catches. His production this past season really stands out due to his yards per reception, when he caught 30 passes for 694 yards (23.1 YPC) and 6 touchdowns.According to Lance Zierlein of NFL.com, Ratley is a raw talent who “needs to improve his press release and route running.” Basically, his speed and explosiveness make him an intriguing prospect, but it will be a wait-and-see process regarding whether the rest of his game can come together at the NFL level. Funny enough, at Ratley’s Pro Day in March Womens Baker Mayfield Jersey , it was Johnny Manziel who was throwing him passes:I think Ratley will be a developmental player who the team would rather keep on the roster than Ricardo Louis. However, he also was not a lock to even be drafted, so there is a good chance that the team can stash him on the practice squad.Final Roster Odds: 60%Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports10. Evan Berry - Undrafted Free Agent ReceiverHeight: 5-11 | Weight: 202 lbs | Age: 22Experience: Rookie | College: TennesseeOne thing that jumps out about Evan Berry is that he is one of Eric Berry’s twin brothers. If you are expecting him to make the team as a receiver, though, he has a lot of work to do there. It appears as though it was merely the best position label the team could slap on a pure special teamer.Berry literally did not catch a single pass during his 4 years with Tennessee; in fact, he was a defensive back. Cleveland is listing him as a receiver, and that could have to do with the idea of utilizing him on plays where he can create yards after the catch.Here is a sample of Berry’s effectiveness in space; he averaged 34.3 yards per kick return in college.Final Roster Odds: 15%Troy Babbitt-USA TODAY Sports11. Da’Mari Scott - Undrafted Free Agent ReceiverHeight: 6-0 | Weight: 205 lbs | Age: 22Experience: Rookie | College: Fresno StateEven though they didn’t draft him, Da’Mari Scott was one of the players the Browns brought in to Berea for a pre-draft visit. Dane Brugler of CBS Sports graded him as their 121st wide receiver in this year’s class. When asked to compare himself to an NFL receiver, he chose Steve Smith due to “his aggressiveness and passion for the game.”Draft Analyst lists Scott’s strengths as “tracking the ball in air, adjusting to errant throws, and using his frame to snatch passes.” His weaknesses include everything after the ball gets in his hands — “average size and speed http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/derrick-kindred-jersey , and not real creative after the catch.” He also has a history of injuries, but is another player who could try out for a return role. I don’t think Scott will be able to make an impression with everyone else on the roster.Final Roster Odds: <5%Michael C. Johnson-USA TODAY Sports12. Derrick Willies - Undrafted Free Agent ReceiverHeight: 6-4 | Weight: 207 lbs | Age: 23Experience: Rookie | College: Texas TechDerrick Willies was an undrafted free agent the Browns signed, and his size is the main element that stands out about his game. Unfortunately, as our college affiliate explains, Willies has had too many issues with dropped passes:Can Willies overcome his drops to try to stick around on Cleveland’s practice squad as another developmental prospect? If Cleveland keeps five receivers, I already see four with guaranteed spots, and you figure someone between Rashard Higgins, Ricardo Louis, Damion Ratley, or Jeff Janis will take the fifth spot.Final Roster Odds: <5%
