Eric Steinbach was once one of the better guards in the league for the Browns, but he missed all of last season with a back injury. Due 6 million in 2012, the Browns cut Steinbach, 32, this offseason, but there was some speculation that they could resign him at a lower rate because Jason Pinkston and Shawn Lauvao both struggled at guard last season.

GM Tom Heckert killed any speculation and ruled out resigning Steinbach today. The Browns didn’t use a draft pick on an interior offensive lineman and seem confident that Pinkston and Lauvao can improve in their 2^nd seasons as starters. Steinbach, meanwhile, has drawn no interest from any other teams this offseason and may have to retire.
