Thomas encouraged by Jackson, 'excited' about Browns' direction

Cleveland Browns Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas is encouraged by the hirings of Sashi Brown and Hue Jackson, but he is more focused on his family than his career at the moment.

"I like Hue and I'm excited about the direction of the team," Thomas said Saturday. "We'll see how free agency and the draft goes. Other than that I'm not really thinking about my career. I'm just enjoying the family and the offseason."

Thomas said he and Brown, the team's new director of football operations, have had good talks, and that the hire of Jackson as head coach excited him.
