According to Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal, the Browns have expressed interest in free agent S Tony Jefferson.
Previous reports have said that Jefferson could get as much as $10 million per year in a long-term deal. The Jets have also come up as a potential suitor for Jefferson.
Jefferson, 25, wound up signing on with the Cardinals as an undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma back in 2013. He returned to the Cardinals on a one-year, $1.671 million restricted tender last April.
He’s now in a position to test the open market as an unrestricted free agent.
