Browns Sign Myles Bryant for Secondary Depth

0:00On April 7, the Cleveland Browns just added some depth to their secondary by signing defensive back Miles Bryant. This 28-year-old nickel specialist brings experience from four years with the New England Patriots and two with the Houston Texans. Undrafted back in 2020, he carved out a role without much hype. Bryant shines in the slot with most of his snaps there, though he has popped up at safety too. He went full-time with the paths before Bill Belichick left, then rotated in Houston's top defense last year, logging 357 snaps, mostly as a box safety and slot corner. Fans and analysts see this as a direct shot at third-year corner Miles Harden, who's projected to start at nickel, but struggled big time in the run. Game. Harden missed 12 tackles and had just 14 runstuffs in 2025, while Bryant's attacker, who rarely misses more than 5A. He's in and stuffs runs consistently. Bryant's no-cap killer either. Either last year he played for a one-year deal worth 1.7 million, so expect something cheap,

1:03like the veteran. Minimum this time. It won't shake up Martin Emerson Jr.'s outside corner spot much, since Bryant's barely played out there career-wise. This move amps up cam battles and plugs a sneaky knee from last season's run defense woes. Bryant could steal that nickel gig and make the browns. Backfield tougher without breaking the bank.
