BEREA, Ohio -- Unhappy with his role and little playing time, running back James Davis has been let go by the Cleveland Browns.
According to The Plain Dealer, the seldom-used Davis was waived Monday by the Browns, who once had high hopes for the 2009 draft pick. The team didn't confirm the move or that it has been awarded running back Thomas Clayton off waivers from the New England Patriots.
On his Twitter account, Davis, who had four carries for 9 yards this season, indicated he was gone.
"Finally was granted with my wish," he wrote.
Despite the Browns needing another running back after rookie Montario Hardesty suffered a season-ending knee injury and veteran Jerome Harrison was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles, Davis was inactive for three of the past four games.
His agent told newspaper that Davis didn't ask to be waived. Bob Hunter also told the paper he was surprised the Browns didn't use Davis more.
Davis played in two games as a rookie before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury during practice.
