A week before free agency begins in the NFL, another big name has already hit the market. On Wednesday, the Cleveland Browns announced that they have released veteran linebacker Jamie Collins Sr. just a couple years after making the aggressive move trading for him at the 2016 trade deadline and signing him to a four-year deal. The move saves Cleveland $9.25 million.
Collins obviously has links to Detroit, and they begin and end with his three-and-half years with the New England Patriots. Bob Quinn was part of the personnel department that decided to draft Collins in the second round in 2013.
