The Cleveland Browns have re-signed veteran LB Malcolm Smith to a 1-year deal worth $1,212,500. Smith exceeded expectations for the Browns last year and graded well, so it’s nice to see him return at such a cheap price. It pretty much matches the offer I wanted Cleveland to offer him (I predicted 1-year, $1.15 million).
Smith graded extremely well last year for the #Browns. He finished 13th overall (70.8) and 7th in coverage grade (79.0) among qualifying LBs https://t.co/G86d0k2L07
