Jordan Hicks

Browns agreed to terms with LB Jordan Hicks, formerly of the Vikings, on a two-year, $8 million contract.

Hicks, soon to be 32 years old, spent the last two years in Minnesota. He missed four games in 2023 because of a shin injury but was productive when healthy, racking up 107 tackles, four TFLs, and one sack. He also broke up five passes and scored a touchdown on one of his two fumble recoveries. The eight-year NFL veteran is still a high-end starter. For a Cleveland team that may be forced to rely on their world-class defense to win games once again, the Hicks addition is a strong one given how little it will cost.
