Okoronkwo was signed as a free agent from the Houston Texans after the 2022 season and finished wth seven and a half sacks in his two seasons in Cleveland, three and a half of those last season.
The Browns had high hopes for Okoronkwo as the pass-rushing threat opposite Myles Garrett that the team has been looking for since the Browns drafted Garrett, but they have to be disappointed in the production for the two seasons.
Alex Wright finished with one sack in four games (the safety on Trevor Lawrence that allowed Cleveland to gain a victory) before his season ended due to a torn triceps injury, while Isaiah McGuire finished with two and a half sacks and was playing very well at the end of the season.
Either could be a starter this season, and it makes sense for the Browns to become younger and cheaper at a time when they can use every penny saved.
Okoronkwo won't have any issues finding a new team, so it may well be one of those decisions that help both the team and the player.
