Browns Miss Out on Vera-Tucker, Offensive Line Still Top Priority

0:00On March 12, the Cleveland Browns went after some much needed help on the offensive line, but missed out on a top-target early in free agency. Former New York Jets guard Alisha Vera Tucker signed a three-year deal with the New England Patriots worth $42 million, which could. Reach $48 million with incentives. The New York Giants and Browns were both pushing hard to land him, according to reports from Diana Rossini of the Athletic. New England moved quickly overnight to seal the agreement. Last season, Cleveland's line struggled badly at times, leaving the quarterback exposed and hurting the run game. Fans and analysts agreed this remains a top priority heading into the off season. The Browns front office showed they're on the hunt by pursuing Vera Tucker, even if they came up short, though keep looking at other options to shore up that unit. With free agency just heating up, expect more moves from Cleveland as they build around their core for next year.
