Browns' Free Agency: Samuel, Hilton, Chubb for Depth

About this episode

The Cleveland Browns are bolstering their roster through free agency, targeting bargain veterans to complement their draft picks. After signing Zion Johnson, Elgton Jenkins, and Quincy Williams, theyre still seeking depth at wide receiver, slot corner, and running back. Three under-the-radar players could fill these roles: Curtis Samuel, Mike Hilton, and Nick Chubb. Samuel, a former Ohio State Buckeye, is available at a fraction of his previous salary, while Hilton brings experience and versatility to the secondary. Chubb, despite recent injury setbacks, remains a fan favorite and could provide depth at running back. These low-cost additions could significantly improve the Browns roster without overspending.

On March 30, Cleveland Browns are deep into free agency, hunting bargain vets to bolster their roster before the draft. They've already snagged Zion Johnson, Elton Jenkins, and Quincy Williams, but spots at wide receiver, slot corner, and running back still need depth. Three under the radar name stand out as cheap fixes, Curtis Samuel, Mike Hilton, and even a reunion with Nick Chubb. Curtis Samuel, the wide-out just cut by Buffalo after a three-year, $24 million deal. SpotTrack Peggs is marketed at about $1.8 million a year, a steal for a former Ohio State Buckeye with solid career numbers. Browns lack vets beyond Jerry Judy, and they've leaned too much on tight ends like rookie Harold Fanon Jr. last season. Meanwhile, the secondary could use Mike Hilton at slot corner. This 32-year-old brings serious experience, over 500 tackles, 13 picks, and 11.5 sacks across teams like Tha, Bengals and Colts.

His last deal was just $1.4 million, and he could pair it nicely with Denzel Ward and Tyson Campbell on the outside. Then there's Nick Chubb, who left Cleveland a year ago for Houston, where he ran for 506 yards and three scores. At 30 years old, his markets down to $1.3 million after injury setbacks, but fans still adore the Georgia Bulldog, who wants. Average 5.1 yards per carry over 6,843 yards in five stellar brown seasons. These low-cost ads could give Cleveland real depth without breaking the bank, setting up their number 6 and number 24 draft picks to shine. Some brighter come training camp.
