One note on John Johnson III that isn't in a contract detail or bottom line ticker...was often the Rams' face and voice in the community. Beloved member of that franchise for years. Made biggest INT in franchise history, too.

Great culture addition by Cleveland, on top of ball.
Here’s a little taste of what Cleveland is getting in @iamjohnthethird! #Browns pic.twitter.com/fE5Ot3ps54

John Johnson III, Ronnie Harrison and Grant Delpit gives the Browns a really nice group of safeties. Expect plenty of big nickel this fall, folks.

GM Andrew Berry didn’t simply sign a safety. The #Browns acquired a deep centerfielder, a stout box defender, slot corner (who can blitz), and an occasional middle linebacker.

John Johnson can do it all. Don't believe me? Just watch (and read this). https://t.co/DhhxAih4B4

Takkarist McKinley can be a game wrecker.

Nothing will get you excited for the upcoming #Browns season like knowing Rashard Higgins and Baker Mayfield get to keep the chemistry alive for another year.

Smith graded extremely well last year for the #Browns. He finished 13th overall (70.8) and 7th in coverage grade (79.0) among qualifying LBs https://t.co/G86d0k2L07

#Browns have signed the linebacker they wanted, albeit to a short term deal, landing the #Colts’ Anthony Walker. Big leader and tackling machine Indianapolis was sorry to lose after he became less of a scheme fit. He’ll have a big role in Cleveland.

I trust in Mr. Haslam & AB. Watch them work! 🔥 #Browns
