Cleveland Browns add linebacker Matt Roth
BEREA, Ohio (AP) - The Cleveland Browns have been awarded linebacker Matt Roth off waivers from Miami.
Picked by the Dolphins in the second round in 2005, Roth made 23 starts in five seasons for Miami. He recorded 158 tackles and 12½ sacks in 64 games. After moving from defensive end to linebacker, Roth had five sacks, 53 tackles and two forced fumbles last season.
Roth was a first-team All-Big Ten selection at Iowa. He had two tackles in three games this season.
The Browns had a roster spot open after waiving linebacker Josh Stamer on Tuesday. Stamer did not make a tackle in two games with Cleveland. He played only on special teams last week in Detroit.
