Browns Plan On Having ‘Open Competition At ILB With Departures Of Schobert, Kirksey

After allowing Joe Schobert to leave in free agency and letting go of Christian Kirksey (who recently said that he is excited about the prospect of finally being part of a winning team), the Cleveland Browns don’t have much in the way of veterans or proven commodities at the inside linebacker position, which is an important and arguably increasingly underrated position.

According to the team’s new linebackers coach, Jason Tarver, the plan is to have an open competition for those jobs. “It’s an open competition. All of our guys have a chance”, he told reporters, via Scott Petrak.
