Cleveland, we have a deal! π Shelby Harris, the man known for doing more stuffing than your grandma’s Thanksgiving turkey, is now part of the Cleveland Browns. Yes, you heard it right! But what’s the real play here, Cleveland fans?
Harris, who’s been around the block a few times with 24 1/5 career sacks in eight NFL seasons, was dropped like a hot potato by the Seattle Seahawks. But, hey, one team’s loss is another team’s gain, right? The Browns surely think so, agreeing to terms for a one-year deal worth a cool $5.25 million. πΈ
The deal’s expected to be signed, sealed, and delivered by Thursday. No big deal or anything, but Cleveland will host Washington in an exhibition on Friday. Is this a sign of the Browns wanting to shake things up? π€¨
Harris’s reputation precedes him – 15 games started last season, two sacks, 44 tackles, and a whole lot of fun in between. He’s 6-foot-2, 290 pounds of raw football energy, and now, he’s here to rebuild the Browns’ defensive front. Cleveland already made moves by signing Dalvin Tomlinson, acquiring Za’Darius Smith, and signing Ogbo Okoronkwo. Are they trying to tell us something? π§
Poor play in defense was last season’s Achilles’ heel for the Browns, as they tripped over themselves with a 7-10 record. And with Alex Wright and Isaiah Thomas out with knee surgeries, the defensive line seemed like an injured puppy. Could Harris be the proverbial band-aid? π©Ή
Don’t forget, Harris was part of the Russell Wilson deal with the Seahawks after playing in 75 games for Denver from 2017-21. Now, that’s a journey. Did the Browns pull off a masterstroke here? π
And here’s something to ponder: Harris was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the seventh round in 2014. Seventh round. And now he’s part of a team that’s rebuilding and has some serious ambition. Coincidence, or part of a grand scheme? π΅οΈββοΈ
Cleveland fans, and NFL fans in general, have a lot to look forward to. With the Browns making moves and signing big names, the question is, are they going big or going home this season?
End with a Question to Provoke Discussion: So here’s the big question, dear readers – is signing Shelby Harris a game-changer for the Cleveland Browns or just another roll of the dice? And what does this mean for the upcoming season? Are the Browns finally serious about their Super Bowl dreams, or are they just chasing rainbows? Let’s hear your thoughts! π€
