Cleveland Browns training camp position preview: Safety
Jordan Poyer will get one of the first cracks at starting at safety for the Browns. (Joshua Gunter, cleveland.com)CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The safety position will look very different for the Cleveland Browns when they take the field against Philadelphia to open their season. Gone are Tashaun Gipson -- lost to Jacksonville via free agency -- and Donte Whitner -- sent packing in April and still looking for work.
Both free safety and strong safety fall square in the category of "OK, show what you've got," in 2016. As it stands now, two familiar faces are slated to open training camp as starters while a mix of draft picks, undrafted free agents and a relatively young veteran fight it out with them.
