General manager Andrew Berry and the Cleveland Browns found a free agent diamond in the rough in Maliek Collins, a 30-year-old journeyman who has been playing at a Pro Bowl level alongside Myles Garrett on the Browns’ defensive line this season.
Collins’ future in Cleveland is now in some doubt, after head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed a season-ending quad injury that will require surgery.
The ramifications for the final five games of this season should be minimal. At 3-9, the Browns have already clinched their second straight losing season, and fourth in five years.
