The release comes as the Browns continue to overhaul their offensive line, a strategy necessitated by the impending free agency of Jack Conklin, Cam Robinson, and others. Lucas played in 10 games with five starts for Cleveland.
The move saves the team from a $500,000 roster bonus due next week. With Tytus Howard, Dawand Jones, and KT Leveston now on the roster, the Browns are reshaping their tackle depth.
