Suggs Takes Five

Lee SUggs picks up a five-year deal. Since he has been injured, Suggs has threatened to sit out the year unpaid and re-enter the draft next year, presumably healthier and more highly rated. But I think the Browns had him over the barrel on this one since in either case he'd be at least 4 years away from free agency. This deal with SUggs is particularly nice since he does have the potential to someday be a difference maker.

Of course, now the question immediately becomes will he play this year? That will remain a mystery for another week or two. The team has suggested he'd make a good short-yardage back. LB Michael Josiah got cut once Suggs was signed.
