Sam Shields, a year away from the game, is determined to play in the NFL again. This, despite — I don’t know, we’ve lost count — six concussions?
We knew Shields wanted to come back in February. That he had been preparing for the opportunity.
Not surprisingly — and also unfortunate for Shields — is that the opportunity is with the Cleveland Browns.
Former Packers’ CB Sam Shields is resuming his NFL career and will start visiting teams this week, including the Browns, per source.

We have advocated for the Packers to re-sign Shields.
