Three days after the Dolphins released him, outside linebacker Matt Roth said the organization soured on him because of his groin injury. Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer caught up with Roth on Friday in the Browns locker room. Roth, who signed with Cleveland on Wednesday, admitted he “was excited” when the Dolphins cut him loose. “Sometimes when you get hurt, people don’t get happy,” he told Cabot . “We had a good relationship until the injury.” Roth, a second-round pick in 2005, said he is healthy and ready for the next chapter of his career. “I’m done with that page,” he said. “I want to be a great player

in this league.” Roth, 27, started 14 games on the strong side for the 2008 Dolphins, but battled a groin injury all season. He had off-season surgery and took part in voluntary workouts and mini-camp. But when training camp opening Aug. 2, Roth wasn’t healthy and eventually landed on the non-football injury list for the first six weeks of the season. When he returned, Roth had four tackles in four games. Cabot asked if Roth if he’d requested his release. “It’s one of those things I don’t want to get into,” he said.
