EDGE Analysis

Bullough has not appeared in an NFL game since his 2016 season with Houston, where he played 240 snaps in relief of an injured Brian Cushing.

Bullough failed to solidify a role on Cleveland's offseason roster, and will go through the league's waiver system.

Bullough's suspension was increased from four to eight games, freelance NFL writer Howard Balzer reports.
