Boyer, Frost among 13 released
By Zac Jackson, Staff Writer
August 28, 2005
The Browns released 13 players Sunday including veteran linebacker Brant Boyer and punter Derrick Frost.
Boyer, a 12-year vet who played with the Browns from 2001-2003 before missing all of last season due to a foot injury, was one of four linebackers released. The others were Justin Kurpeikis, Sherrod Coates and undrafted rookie Kevin Harrison.
The release of Frost means veteran Kyle Richardson has won the team's punting job.
Other players released include offensive lineman Javiar Collins, quarterback Lang Campbell, defensive lineman Corey Jackson, safety James King, wide receiver Lance Moore, offensive lineman Clint Stickdorn, tight end Keith Willis and kicker Tyler Jones.
The roster now stands at 74; nine players have roster exemptions. The Browns must trim the roster to the regular season limit of 53 by Saturday Sept. 3.

It's a shame Boyer got the ax. I think we could of used his veteran leadership and toughness on special teams, but the years were catching up to him. Also hate to see Lance Moore go. Not that he ever had a chance, but the more Rockets in the league the better! And then there is Clint Stickdorn. I just like this guy's name.
