Key LB Anthony Walker returning to Browns, source says

BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns are re-signing inside linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. to a one-year contract, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Walker visited the Washington Commanders earlier this week, but ultimately decided to return to Cleveland.

While the Browns brought Walker back, they lost free agent running D'Ernest Johnson, who agreed to a one-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, a source told Schefter. Johnson only had four carries last season but did rush for 146 yards and a touchdown in a start against the Denver Broncos in 2021.
