The Browns spoke of being appropriately aggressive this offseason.
They made good on that approach Monday by signing linebacker Jamie Collins Sr. to a four-year extension, the first move of what Cleveland hopes to be a pivotal offseason.
“It’s no secret how I feel about Jamie Collins,” head coach Hue Jackson said in a released statement. “He’s an outstanding football player and a guy we think can be part of the foundation of a tremendous defense.
“I was excited when we were able to trade for him last season, and now, I’m even more excited knowing that he is going to part of our future.
