Report: Mychal Kendricks Signs 1-Year Browns Contract After Release from Eagles

Veteran linebacker Mychal Kendricks reportedly agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Cleveland Browns, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday.

Kendricks had been the subject of trade rumors prior to the start of the 2017 season. PhillyVoice.com's Jimmy Kempski reported in February 2017 the Eagles had made Kendricks available as they looked to free up salary cap space.

Instead, Kendricks remained in Philadelphia and proceeded to have a strong year. He finished with 77 combined tackles and two sacks. Not only was the 27-year-old a strong run defender, he also registered six passes defended—his highest since his rookie year in 2012.
