They replace failed draft pick with undrafted cornerback Derrick Roberson.
CLEVELAND -- The Browns have conceded the David Veikune experiment won't be working out.
They waived the 2009 second-round pick to make room for cornerback Derrick Roberson, an undrafted player who's been on the practice squad of three teams.
Veikune was the 52nd overall pick of the 2009 draft. He played defensive end at Hawaii and was tried at both outside and inside linebacker. He played in 10 games as a rookie and was not credited with a tackle.
Roberson, 5-10 and 180 pounds, appeared in six games with Tampa Bay last year.
The transaction decreases the imbalance on the Browns' roster. They now have 11 linebackers and four cornerbacks.
The team also confirmed it was awarded offensive lineman Steve Vallos off waivers from Seattle and waived swingman Billy Yates.
