New Browns linebacker Jamie Collins reflects on Patriots shockingly trading him: ‘I’m on to Cleveland’

BEREA: Pro Bowl linebacker Jamie Collins admitted he was surprised when the New England Patriots traded him to the Browns and didn’t understand the move.

He also insisted it took him just 10 minutes to get over the shock.

“I’m on to Cleveland,” Collins quipped Wednesday, borrowing a line from Patriots coach Bill Belichick as he wrapped up his first interview with local media.

Collins, 27, has indeed moved on to the Browns, but for how long is a fascinating question. He’s scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March and will command a lucrative contract.
