Jamie Collins Comments on Being Traded to Browns, Contract, Patriots and More

New Cleveland Browns linebacker Jamie Collins spoke to the Cleveland media Wednesday morning about being traded to the team, the New England Patriots, his pending free agency and more.

"This is my new home," Collins said when asked about signing a long-term deal with the Browns, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. "This is my focus. I'm ready."

Nonetheless, Collins wouldn't commit to signing a long-term deal with Cleveland:
