Looking at the Browns' impending free agents
Cleveland has 4 unrestricted free agents, including three starters
The Browns made a splash last month by re-signing linebacker Jamie Collins to a four-year extension for several reasons.
The first was that Collins, a 2015 Pro Bowler whom they acquired via a midseason trade with New England, figures to be an impact player on a youth-laden Browns defense.
The second is how head coach Hue Jackson said it’d be something of a “coup” to keep Collins in Cleveland considering his talents and the team’s on-field struggles last season.
The third is how the move made good on a plan to 1) identify talent and 2) keep that talent in Northeast Ohio.
