The Cleveland Browns are reportedly adding linebacker Jordan Hicks to their roster on a two-year, $8 million deal.
After losing both Anthony Walker Jr. and Sione Takitaki in free agency, Hicks will be plugged in as the starter at either SAM or MIKE for the Browns in 2024. He will join the current linebacker room of Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Tony Fields, and Mohamoud Diabate.
Throughout his nine-year career, Hicks played his first four years in Philadelphia under Cleveland’s defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. Starting 119 total games, Hicks is a seasoned veteran who has most recently spent time with the Arizona Cardinals, and the last two seasons with the Minnesota Vikings.
A year ago, Hicks racked up 61 solo tackles, four tackles for loss, one sack, one interception, and one forced fumble under Brian Flores. Entering year 10 of his career after agreeing to a two-year with the Browns, how much does Hicks have left in the tank?
