Smith, 30, was never quite the same after suffering a knee injury last season, but if he can return to form the Browns will be in business. Less

Around the NFL: Jadeveon Clowney

The Browns have signed journeyman pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney. It's a move I've gone back and forth on; few players have gotten more mileage out of being a former No. 1 overall pick while seldom quite living up to expectations. But looking at all the various numbers, it ultimately looks like a worthwhile investment.   more »
