Browns | Brian Hartline released Mon May 23, 01:15 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Brian Hartline was released Monday, May 23, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here...especially after the Browns added four WRs in the 2016 NFL draft. Hartline compiled 523 yards on 46 receptions, with two touchdowns in 12 games last season. There may be a team interested in adding a veteran WR that could add Hartline as training camp gets closer. |

Browns | Brian Hartline returns to practice Thu Apr 21, 06:33 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Brian Hartline (undisclosed) returned to practice Thursday, April 21, after not practicing Tuesday, April 19.
| Footballguys view: Hartline could be effective if he's healthy next year. He missed four games and totaled just over 500 yards and a pair of touchdowns. With better quarterback play, he should have a rise in his stats, but would still be no more than a WR4 or so in fantasy. |

Browns | Two Browns receivers likely out Wed Nov 4, 01:42 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Brian Hartline (concussion) and WR Andrew Hawkins (concussion) are in the concussion protocol and unlikely to play Thursday, Nov. 5.
| Footballguys view: If you have to play someone, it's either Travis Benjamin (WR3) or Gary Barnidge (TE1). The rest of the offense isn't anything you want on your team, even Johnny Manziel, who is really no more than a high-end QB3. |

Browns | No practice for Brian Hartline Thu Oct 8, 05:24 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Brian Hartline (ribs, thigh) did not practice Thursday, Oct. 8.
| Footballguys view: The guy to own in this passing offense is Travis Benjamin, and even he is no better than a WR4 or WR5. Cleveland just isn't great passing the ball, so Hartline - like most of the rest of the unit - isn't worth starting, healthy or not. |

Browns | Brian Hartline misses practice Tue Sep 1, 10:57 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Brian Hartline (foot) missed practice Tuesday, Sept. 1, due to an undisclosed injury. 'Then Brian I think just got stepped on so it was just something that we wanted to go ahead and rest him,' head coach Mike Pettine said.
| Footballguys view: As usual, this is just a veteran getting a little extra rest time to prepare him for the season. Hartline probably won't make much of a fantasy impact, though that is in large part because Josh McCown is so lackluster. You can add Hartline in the later rounds as a WR7 or so, but don't sacrifice the space if you can use it on someone more likely to have an impact, or with a higher upside. |

Browns | Brian Hartline signing with Cleveland Mon Mar 9, 08:11 PM
Free-agent WR Brian Hartline (Dolphins) has agreed to terms with the Cleveland Browns. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Hartline is a solid--yet unspectacular--signing for the Browns. He'll be among the top targets in 2015 with slot WR Andrew Hawkins. Hartline can run good routes and is fearless running over the middle. He should become a favorite target for QB Josh McCown. |

Chiefs | KC interested in Brian Hartline Fri Mar 6, 05:41 PM
Free-agent WR Brian Hartline (Dolphins) is attracting interest from the Kansas City Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Of course he is. The Chiefs are desperate for WR help, and Hartline's price tag won't be out of this world. If added, the Chiefs could still have interest in a big-money free agent WR like Randall Cobb or Jeremy Maclin. |

Patriots | NE has interest in Brian Hartline Fri Mar 6, 07:42 AM
Free-agent WR Brian Hartline (Dolphins) has interest from the New England Patriots, but no meeting has been set up.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots are still over the cap. They won't be able to make a ton of moves in free agency, but adding Hartline wouldn't take that much money. It would help his fantasy value if he latched on with the Patriots so he could catch passes from Tom Brady. |

Texans | Brian Hartline visiting Houston Thu Mar 5, 11:14 AM

Free-agent WR Brian Hartline (Dolphins) could return to the Miami Dolphins, as they remain interested in bringing him back. However, he's already had meetings with the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears, and he's expected to make a decision soon.
| Footballguys view: The Dolphins just needed to make some salary-cap room, and that's why they released Hartline. He could come back at a reduced rate, but Hartline is already getting a bit of interest on the open market. |

Dolphins | Brian Hartline cut by Miami Fri Feb 27, 10:26 AM
Miami Dolphins WR Brian Hartline was released Friday, Feb. 27.
| Footballguys view: The Dolphins passing game is going to look different in 2015. Hartline signed a five-year deal in 2013, and he was due to count $7.35 million against the Dolphins' salary cap next season. Some team should take a chance on the veteran receiver who can work routes over the middle. |

Dolphins | Three Miami receivers could be cut Wed Feb 25, 03:39 PM
Miami Dolphins WRs Mike Wallace, Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson could all be let go this offseason if contracts aren't restructured. Wallace, especially, likely won't take a paycut on the $9.85 million he's due next season. Hartline is due $5.9 million but could restructure this offseason. Gibson isn't believed to be worth the $3.225 million he's due, so he could also be gone.
| Footballguys view: They couldn't cut all three could they? We don't think that happens, but they're likely to take a look at restructuring all three of these receivers. Wallace has been the biggest disappointment here (with the biggest price tag). |
