LB Anthony Walker returns to Cleveland on another one-year deal

The strongest leader on the defensive side of the ball is back for another year

He is back once again! After visiting with the Washington Commanders, linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. has agreed to return to the Cleveland Browns on his third straight one-year deal as NFL free agency continues. Expect Walker Jr. to be penciled in as the starting MIKE linebacker in 2022 as the Browns may look to draft a young guy for him to mentor and take over in 2023.

Walker Jr., who suffered a season-ending injury in Week 3, should be back in time for training camp given the timing of his lower-body injury. Known as a top-tier leader and mentor in the locker room, there is not a better player to bring back as this team transitions to a new defensive coordinator in 2023.
