Browns have reportedly made a decision on defender’s contract status

The Cleveland Browns and general manager Andrew Berry have an important decision to make in the coming weeks, one that they will not face again until 2028.

Teams across the NFL have until May 2 to decide if they want to exercise the fifth-year option on players who were selected in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

In the case of the Browns, that means they have a little less than a month to make that decision about cornerback Greg Newsome II, whom the team selected with the No. 26 overall pick in the 2021 draft.
