It is a certainty that Cleveland Browns’ linebacker room will be different this year. MLB Anthony Walker and OLB Sione Takitaki are gone, while Jacob Phillips probably won’t be re-signed.
New blood has already arrived when GM Andrew Berry signed Jordan Hicks and Devin Bush, Jr. were signed in the free agency period. Hicks is expected to start in the middle and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah will start once again on the outside.
What this means is there will be stiff competition from the other linebackers on the roster including Tony Fields, Mohamoud Diabate, and Charlie Thomas.
